Supra vs. Skyline

[Ahmad88]

if i had a choice between the new skyline and the supra, i would go for the skyline cause not only is it powerful and sweet lookin, but im a skyline fan myself and i would spend all day and night studying it and learning every aspec about it. if i was rich i wouldnt just own a wrench i would have a shop in my living room..

I love Supras to death always have and always will. but i am a little disappointed that they are switching to the v8. i am glad that the Skyline is going stick to its roots. i hope toyota will go back after they see how much better the skyline is gonna be.

Another thing, For the rich older people who mostly can afford these cars, and a lot of other people, There not gona crank their cars up to 4k rpms and above to get power out of them. They want to step on the gas and have the car accelerate, fast. Somethign hard with a turbo. Thats why BMWs, Benzs, Caddilacs, All have large high torque motors. And I dont know why everyone is so against the supra having a v8. Sure, The straight 6 is cool, But whats the difference? It makes power, Wheter it be turbo or not. And, point of view dependant, Big powerful N/A motors are a lot more pleasureable to drive. Anywhere the tach is, Hit the gas, Get stuffed into the seat. But at other times the "rush" of the turbo is also fun. But people dont feel like having to plan on accelerating and keeping the motor at 4k rpms and the turbo spooled. Thats probably why they are probably making it n/a.

I remember finding a site saying that they were going to put two different engines in the supra, a v6 putting out 350hp For the convertible version and a v8 for the hard top. Sounds a lil sketch to me but who knows? Nothing, even the existence of the car is for sure right now.

i do not like how toyota is making this crappy supra, i mean look at the 08 skyline GT-R, its inline 6 twin turbo with 480hp,

dont tell me youre talking about the r35?

if i had a choice between the new skyline and the supra, i would go for the skyline cause not only is it powerful and sweet lookin, but im a skyline fan myself and i would spend all day and night studying it and learning every aspec about it

i was too, till they became sell-outs, and i dunt mean money wise

i am glad that the Skyline is going stick to its roots.

stickin to its roots? what are you talking about
the new skyline doesnt even have the rb26dett
it doesnt have the inline 6
and the car doesnt look like it can take abuse
the car has lost its legendary engine
the skyline jus has a glorified vq 3.5 engine with twins
its the same powerplant with the g35, and the 350z
its not unique anymore

Ill just not ever be able to afford either of these cars so I dont have much of an opinion. But I think the skyline looks a lot more like the old skyline than the supras do. I still think they should have kept the celica and supra big and little cousins. It would be better if they kept it in its mk3 market among the rx7 and mustangs and camaros and stuff, Instead of trying to move it up a notch to the all-out sports car class, Even tho mazda did with the rx7. Dont even get me started on the rx8...But It would be cool if they made the supra affordable again, in the 25-35K range, Instead of trying to make it compete in the super sports car market. Then more supra fans would actually buy them, And theyd be in the hands of those who would really appreciate the car. And i still wouldnt mind it having a dohc v8

exactly, thats a beautiful point
these car were meant to be taken care of
but not get lockd up in a damn garage, jus to only see the light of day in a sunday morning cruise,
i think if the car can talk, it'll bitch about not being driven
i mean, it was design to racing conditions
why not take advantage of it?
most of the engine designs now are becoming more mod-friendly
so why not mod it?
why more pple care about the value of the car rather than the performance?

but all we can do is hope for the best when it comes to these new designs/models

our generation of driving is passing
soon pple are gonna be wusses, dont even know how to drive a stick
all they're gonna have is a Pussy-Ass Paddle Shifter
whats so hard about stepping on the clutch
isnt the heel-and-toe, one of the main basics of driving?
wussap with that?
well good luck wit em, hope thier right leg grows bigger than the left lol

i agree with everything you guys have said!

but toyota on the other hands have gottne a little horny, off the idea of having v8 in their line up, and thus have lost the true essence of the car.
correct me if i'm wrong but small block v8's manage to stay a little cooler than a big 6 right? is that why the skyline devolpment team has put so much time into keeping the car cool?

another thing, the mkV is not that hot i'm sorry but the mkIV's have a beautiful design that is ageless, i would be plenty happy with a supra that looked like an mkIV with the fortune 03' body kit from vielside =D

ok ok last thing if the skyline does end up kiking the mkV's but then maybe toyota will be forced to make an mkVI! and if i was in charge of toyota my MKVI would be a
4.5L V6 sequentially twin turbo charged
i'd call it the 3JZ-GTTE and it would look like just like a mkIV with the fortune 03' body kit from veilside


Thats My MKVI ^

[Supra2NR]

what about a quad-turbo v8
with a 6.0 displament
and a turbo for every two cylinders
basically a twin on each side
thats my idea of a 4jz-gtttte lol

(i kno its jus gte but its more fun this way)

or u kno what, why not go crazy
why not put two inline-6 engines together
that way your gonna have a v12
do the quad turbo idea
so it'll have a turbo for every 3 cylinders
how much horses do u think something like that can produce?

[Mr.Luder]

i vote no on the v8 but i guess if they were to come out with it, it'll be to compete with the american muscles? I don't know
