Have no doubt that the GTR would dominate.
We will have 5 GTO's at TOTB this year so there will be some numbers done there.

Not to many GTO owners hit the track that often as we have a butter transfer box and most people use their GTO as a daily driver.

A Dyno day is less brutal and more people were likly to attend.

**** it, I'll bring the R32.

[bladerider]

Maybe I should bring my Land Rover,

Thats 4wd, and on a par with a GTO fopr handling, power, dynamics - even looks !!!!

Should be a laugh, I'll definately come along to point and make fun of all the fake tan and gold jewelery that will no doubt be in evidence !!! Will I need to bring sunglasses to protect from the glare of chrome rims, and over polished Veilside wings ???

Fair play for trying to make a day of it though, bet theres more GTO's in the UK than GTR's though as they were an official model from day dot over here where as there were only 180 "official" uk GTR's and the rest are imports - obviously if you add in GTS it would bump the numbers up a fair bit, but still probably not more than the Mitsi.

Quote from EVO score sheet for 100th anniversary EVO quiz...

1-3 right (out of 10) "two evo stars. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You think the Mitsubishi 3000 GTO is actually pretty underrated. It is, after all, alot of awful car for the money."

Kinda says it all.... Have fun storming the castle!

I guess that is up to your club members. I have no issue with you joining the list.

Your right about that except for the looks, the land rover is far prettier.

Does chocolate taste better than sh1t?

Worst car ever to come from Japan.

That's a bit unfair on the old GTO as it's remit was aimed more at the USA market than the UK (they did sell a lot). It did very well in the States and the American reviewers liked the car as it suited their roads and driving style - bit of a crappy old boat for the UK although and totally out-classed by Skylines, RX7s and Evos etc.

LMAO . . . Dude, I had to quote that into my signature

Back it up, at present the Skyline is going to look like a laughing stock in lovely glossy magazine!

In my experience many Skyline owners think they have a 500BHP car when they add a boost controller and run 1 BAR.

So far not one single Skyline has ever put down more power than my GTO Power Engineering - of course not every skyline goes to power engineering but that was where most of my previous dyno time was done so that is all I can compare.

Has anyone on here got any graphs and a car that is willing to back up it's claim of being vastly more powerfull than a GTO. Skylines have Millions of pounds more R&D for aftermarket parts compared to a GTO. Yes you have some fantastic tuner cars, we have very few. Infact of the top of my head I can only think of 5 that have been developed by tuners and only one of them has the sort of budget that can even remotely compare to the big skyline tuners.

I would put my car against any GTR in the UK that the owner did the work on their own car.

Eurospec (UK) - 620BHP - ¼ mile 11.23 (small British company run by enthusiastic people, their GTO is a daily driver)
PitRoad M (Japan) – Not sure on the numbers but they are behind the US despite having an astronomical development budget
Dynamic Racing (US) - ??? BHP as they never dyno their cars! (Nearly 900 miles to the nearest 4WD dyno!) - 1/4 mile 9.7sec @ 151 MPH ON A STOCK ENGINE!
3SX (US) – They won’t share their dyno data until their grand opening next week but the car runs a 9.6 on the ¼
Pampena Motorsports (US) – Two bother who put little money into their car as it is a daily driver – 876 AWHP – ¼ mile 10.2 (It’s his daily driver and he did a 1600 mile round trip to their National Gathering in the US to run his ¼ mile)

How many Skylines drove to TOTB and drove home that run less than 11.23?


God, I just can’t believe how much of a numpty some people can be. This dyno shoot out thread and event was meant to be a bit of fun! Not a one car is better than the other crap (What are you? a 2 year old?). If I wanted to buy a Skyline I would, if I want to blow a Skylines doors of I would drive my Ultima.

Fun, that’s what it is about. But unless I am proven otherwise there are not many home grown powerfull Skylines in the UK. If people are so confident that their car is better than the GTO then put your name down, it’s hardly an expensive event.
