Gaz Walker Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Funny thread from the GTROC http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/70704-skyline-more-powerfull-than-gtos-dynoshoot-out.html I'm not GTO bashing, just thought I'd brighten up your bank holiday Monday Some classic comments: Your right about that except for the looks, the land rover is far prettier. "Are Skyline more powerfull than GTOs?" Does chocolate taste better than sh1t? Worst car ever to come from Japan. your GTO as its about as quick as glacial drift !!!

Cable Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 To be fair my friends GTO is pretty quick, he managed a 13.6 down pod and happily gets to 180 leptons and this is only a mild state of tune running about 0.9 bar of boost. Doesn't handle too bad either, all they need is some decents shocks and springs which totally changes it's drive. On the downside the gearbox has to be changed about every other week and he's allways having issues with the thing. He's spent enough money keeping it running that would probably have kept a small country afloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 got a lot of respect for GTO'S theres some real nice quick ones out there, as for skylines apart from the new ones R34 upwards there tending to be chav mobiles, took my mates R33 GTR out 2weeks back and after hearing all the hype about the mighty skyline lets just say i was disappointed. just a few pointers about the R33 GTR below Good Handling Bland as shit interior doesn't really look like a supercar more like a beefed up cortina Doesn't get the looks from people especially chicks, and only appreciated by people in the know and requires a baseball cap to drive it. would have a GTO or a Alfa GTV anyday, may not be as quick but sure as hell looks it:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraJames Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 A while back I was offered a GTO for free, fully modded, nice example, till I found out the gearboxes were produced by Cadbury's and this is why he could not even give it away lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Owned a MK2 TT and loved it, handled very well and was no slouch but the gearbox is a major negative on the car Only problem I ever had really was Michael telling me it looked like the fall guys truck.... git Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylines have more road presence in my opinion than pretty much any other car. They may not look like a supercar but to say they look like a beefed up cortina is a tad silly. I've never seen a chav driving a skyline because they cost so damn much to insure and run. Chavs want 'em but can't have 'em. If GTO's are unreliable then Italian cars are in a completely different league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magictorch Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I had a BPU GTO TT for 3 yrs,no problems with it at all and went very well:) Stock handling and gearbox not the best tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 the Mitsubishi 3000 GTO is actually pretty underrated. It is, after all, alot of awful car for the money :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 lol, how are you finding it? I've had 2 Lancias, For a FWD car it's great, just what I wanted for a daily driver. the 20v tubby is fast enough. Spent hours on the owners club checking out the common faults (quite a list ) but really is a good site and kept me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't see that many Skylines around here but you're right about the GTS's as they're more affordable. I've been considering a GTR again, an R32 this time but I must resist temptation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
