Supra vs. Skyline

smoo215 · 10-25-2006, 08:02 PM

If that ride has a v8 i will be more interested. If not, I will probably still b interested. The only thing that will make me upset will b if these cars cost more than 45K. If so, I will wait and snag one once they drop n value and parts r available off the shelf like the mkiii. But, think this way, those mkivs prices will drop like flys when the new supra hits the streets. More for me.

i wonder how mean the skyline would be with a twin turboed V8

Supra2NR · 10-26-2006, 11:18 PM

it'll be jus like the new benzes
they have v8 - v12 twin turboed cars
also with all-wheel drive

The reason mercedes has those turbos is because the mountains and stuff in europe make it neccesary. They also make 590lbft of torque at 1800 rpm out of that v12. So its not like the twin turbo idea your thinking of, like on the mk4. They probably use little tiny turbos for the engine size to make that torque. Lots of european cars have turbos or SCs for those 2 reasons. Drive a turbo jetta or golf, And youll see what I mean. They have so much torque its crazy, well for being 4 cylinders.

Are these Mercedes you speak of really Turbo? Or are they Supercharged?
I know Mercedes has typically done Superchargers which, of course, kick in at much lower RPM. Just curious because I have not seen Turbo Mercedes...but I am no expert.

i believe the new sl500 is a good example
its have a v8 twin-turboed engine producing around 500 hps stock

Do you have a link I can see this sl500 turbo at?
I see the sl500 is being replaced in 2007 by SL550 non-turbo/non-supercharged or the SL55 AMG Supercharged...never any mention of Turbo?
