  • ok..... wtf..... rx-7 vs skyline

    ok, on wikipedia it says this about the skyline..... wtf

    Why It Failed

    Well it didnt exactly fail due to high prices and competition from the RX-7 which outperfomed it in everygeneration collapesed the Nissan Skyline. However Nissan has realised a skyline in Japan featureing a V8 but it will never take off because the 2006/2007 RX-7 will come back and destroy it so unfortunately it will never succede like the RX-7 or VL Calais which actully the 3.3L 6Cyl engine was a nissan skyline engine. But the 1986-1988 VL Calais was an Australian Built V8 engine.


    um..... didnt the skyline outperform everything..... and had to be banned from certain races and stuff like that cuz it always won..... and i thought its compettitor was the supra,....

          Is that English?

          The Skyline sold FAR more units then the RX7 in Japan, is FAR more well knon in Japan, and is considered FAR more elite then an RX7 in Japan.

          That is all.

            I dont' know... in best motoring the FD took out the NSX-R the R34 and EVO in a 5 lap race around Tsukuba :P by a good couple seconds too :P

            its know to be a better "drivers" track car

            (have a soft spot for RX7's, to bad their motors sound like @ss :P )

              Saw a video from Japan. Don't know what track, but it was a stock R33 GTR vs Bathurst RX-7. From the standing start the R33 owned the RX-7 around the whole track, even through the slow twisty sections. By the end of the race the GTR was barely in visual range on the long strait.(both cars had cameras onboard)
              I like the RX-7, but even guys I know whom love the cars and know lots about them say how fragile the motor is if even just the slightest amount of extra boost is added to the stock setup.

                  yea but what about all those cars with lets say 100k kms on them? Rotorys are nice when they're new, then you have to rebuild the whole engine at 100k pretty much.
                  Also they have crappy torque and narrow powerbands.
