nice vid moleman.
I think this thread is beginning to get a little feisty, so let me recap and then we can shut this down:
1) A Skyline can be built to waste an Enzo. Fact. It's just a matter of money and who's building it. I hardly think an Enzo could keep up with the Calsonic R32 (a race car that could easily be made street legal).
2) race cars prove that any engine-drivetrain layout can be made to work, and excel on any type of race surface - real road (like the Nordscheife is meant to emulate), snooker table-flat tarmac, off-road rally. Mid, front, rear, they've all won.
3) an Enzo is not the end all be all of road cars. It doesn't approach the McLaren F1. Now THAT would be an interesting question - if a Skyline, or any other street-legal car for that matter, could be tuned to beat an F1. Maybe an MX-5 with its engine built to make 800bhp, yet keep the same curb weight
4) Ever wonder why Skylines don't get much tuning in the suspension department, other than coilovers? Because Nissan did the legwork for us. Skylines come stock with the suspension geometry that make it so damned fast on the road. This is obvious. Nissan didn't run the 'Ring constantly for development of the GT-R since 1989 because they like the weather in Germany. Their engineers were there for good reason. Anyone without blinders can see this. Other cars require LOTS of suspension mods to get them handling properly. Ours don't. OEM is about as good as it can get - the coilovers are to lower the car to make a good thing better, and to get rid of that pussy weak-ass stock spring and damper rates.
Dirk Schoysman drove Shin's highly tuned R34 on the 'Ring, although it wasn't for a time. It would benefit the GTR enthusiasts around the world if Skylines at various tune levels were driven in anger for best times, with either Dirk or Sabine piloting.
