Honest Question..Skyline or NSX?

[Auraraptor]

stock to stock..R34 GTR vs 3.2 NSX who would win? I mean 0-60, 1/4, skidpad, and of course the most important, overall on a road course.

1999 Honda Prelude "Mina" (Should be the new daily driver)
1998 BMW 750iL "Katrina" Still the daily driver)
1997 NSX "Nina"
1982 BMW 633CSi "Jessica"

 

[I Grok NSX]

There is a video in cyberspace some where that shows a stock Skyline racing a stock NSX Type R and the NSX takes the Skyline in the 1/4 mile by about .1 sec. So I would think a US NSX would be a bit slower. Any help out there?

1994 Green-black roof/tan, 5 speed
Do you know of another Green-Black roof NSX??

On the track stock R34GTR spec-V (w/some engine problem too) wins over NSX type-S Zero by a wide margin. Saw it on the Best Motoring. So don't even think about try to race a R34 w/regular NSX.

Hmmm, the Best Motoring DVD I have (the 10th Anniversary edition) shows the NSX beating the Skyline.

I've seen videos where the NSX has won, and some the Skyline has won in those BM videos. I've seen some videos where the driver says the hot conditions caused the Skyline to perform very badly. Seen races where the skyline beats the NSX in a race because of superior traction in the rain. Another where the NSX trounces the Skyline on a twisty race track in dry/hot conditions. I honestly don't see a clear winner.

...but when it comes to looks & popularity on NSXprime, the NSX wins hands down... ;-)

Stock to Stock, I would say NSX. Mod'd.. well.. there is no comparison!

 

[akira3d]

I agree, NSX definitely wins in the looks department!

Check out the Nov '99 issue of Sport Compact Car. There's an article titled "The Scalpel and the Sledgehammer" that compares the NSX-T and the R34 Skyline GT-R V-spec. The $89,500 MotoRex imported R34 ran a faster lap at Buttonwillow East Loop (57.8 sec vs 59.1).

There's also an article on a HKS R33 and one on a heavily modified R32.
