I have to disagree there. While supras are still cool, it kind of sucks when they make all this horsepower, but most get sh*tty times at the track. I am more of a skyline fan than a supra, but would take any of them in a heartbeat haha.

AWD>RWD imo. But I'm FWD so I can't say too much lol.

Just ignore the guy if he is a douche about his car. That's the best advice I can give.

Your funny.

AWD is cool and all but RWD at the track can and will perform just as good if properly set up. A set of sticky tires and the right suspension will dominate any comparable AWD.

And the whole comment about the supra not getting good times at the track? How many have you seen run and how many can you actually comment on? I assume you are just carrying on the old internet bs that high hp supras still only run a 12.

Yeah, I almost shit myself when a friend told me his 60 foot times were in the 1.4 range. He has RWD, and most of us AWD guys would kill for those kinds of 60ft times.

Re: Nissan Skyline R33

A friend of mine has some sort of Skyline, I'm not sure about all that "R" stuff. It's rear wheel drive and has a big single on it. I don't like it because the damn steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car and I don't like shifting with my left hand. It looks like rice to me, but everyone seems to love it.




Here's a picture of it.

Yep, AWD only matters on street tires. A nicely setup RWD anything can pull 1.0-1.3 60's easy.

Exactly. You get used to it. I have a harder time with my expectation of where the vehicle will be, but you get used to that as well.

Yeah, like I said a well prepped RWD usually = 4 link, auto, and a high stall converter. Not too hard to just stomp on the brake and gas.

Re: Nissan Skyline R33

A four link isn't exactly the easiest thing to set up... Then again, everything's easy in the intro-net world

God I love the internet, I didn't say a 4 link was easy to set up. I said it was easy to do 1.0-1.3 60's with a nicely setup RWD.

Hey, I'm really good friends with that guy and I have a picture of his engine bay. It's highly modded, to say the least. See?



And kracka's post about matt crying at night made me laugh out loud for real. lol.
