dinner , dessert and then q's about r32gtr vs srt4 vs 350z

Am i the only one here that realizes that the SRT-4 is still a neon chassis underneath?
Also, using drag racing to compare cars, especially Skylines in general is a bit ridiculous.
You want 1/4 mile times for cheap? Get a mustang (87-93 are always popular).

That's my 2 cents.

Yeah, the SRT-4 is a marriage of a good motor with a terrible car. Truly terrible car. Again, Caliber is a slight improvement.

Also, 1/4 mile times tell you just about nothing about the driving dynamics of the car. Going fast in a straight line takes little driver skill and anything can be made to go fast in a straight line, but it takes a lot more to have a well-tuned car for the circuit.

I could care less if an SRT-4 is quicker in the 1/4, it's still a car with no class or refinement.

Not to downplay your ideas but I have a friend who races his BONE STOCK (motor) in 1/4 mile races and frequents Portland international raceway. He has beaten GTR's in both using only cheater slicks (not full out drag slicks) in the 1/4 and upgraded brakes and that's it. part of it may be the driver but even locally I have seen numerous skyline fall behind in numerous situation (mine included) to SRT-4's. if you want to see a group of srt that circuit race in portland check out fyc racing (**** your couch). not gonna say which I think is better (ya I prefer my skyline). they have comparisons on srtforums.com and the prefer the srt4 to the skyline. just like we prefer a skyline. either way its fun to race and beat the car next to you!!

SRT-4's are curiously fast. Decent sleeper. I think I would attempt taking one on the highway though. :wink:

That is the single dumbest paragraph i have heard this week.

Please explain, wise one.

SK's school system must have slipped badly since I was in it.
