i was reading road and track and the shelby GT500 as you all know v8 supercharged 500 hp, when i came across the GTR and i noticed the specs claiming a v6 turboed pushin out 450 hp. how is v6 GTR pumpin out so close to the shelby and why isnt the shelby putting more hp out?????

Tell ya what......check out what rpms the GTR makes its max power at and then compare that to the rpm level that the GT500 makes its max power at. That's the difference between a 400+hp V6 and a 400+hp V8........it's called Torque. hehe. Plus, you have to figure that the Nissan is a turbocharged car....vs. the GT500 which is a supercharged car. There will be differences there too, and if Ford had made the GT500 a turbocharged 5.4 V8 powered car instead of supercharged........you'd be looking at a 700 to 900hp monster

Well something that you have to realize is that the gtr is built and enginered for fast acceleration and the gt500 is mostly power and top speed so of course the gtr is going to be turbocharged. if it was super charged it would only push like 300-350 so mustang hands down

yeah
the other thing to remember is that from what ive read the GTR is twin
turbo. another thing is that this is based of the design of the car that help the lap record of
Nubring (spelling) over the italian and german supercars.
that car is like the "holy grail" of rice-wanna-be-tuners.
but it still doesnt have a v8.....

Don't be surprised if you are surprised ... by the performance of the Nissan GTR Skyline. We haven't had a Japanese-made car of this caliber imported into the US, yet. It is one fast mother.

Agreed. The older Skylines were monsters, and from what I've read, the new one will be no different. While I would never take one over a Mustang, they are nice cars.

because your v6 isnt near as high strung as the rx8's engine
is, also its a completley diffrent engine (rotory)(spelling)
that engine can rev to the point where any mustang engine would be
throwing up its internals...

The GT 500 will still be faster stock to stock.
Also realise that the GTR will come out running right on the ragged edge, and the GT 500 will come out a pully swap and tune away from 550+ WHP.

the last production r34 skyline was about 3676lbs, so i'm guessing the new one will be close to that fiqure. but it will be a track monster with the new awd system imployed. the gt500 will be close numbers wise but the skyline might have the edge. now the z06 would make a good "compare" article. (or even the ford gt)

I personally don't look forward to the GTR hitting production. Even tho NONE of the ricers will EVER come CLOSE to owning one......you know that they're all gonna be pullin out the "yea........but the new Skyline would whip your ASS" routine whenever they get stomped by American muscle. It's like the Ricer Holy Grail, the GTR is.

The GTR is a heavy, comlicated machine. I honestly think it's AWD system, 4 Wheel Steering, and all it's other electronics are excessive.
The Shelby GT500 has much more room to grow with F/I, but it would help to cut some weight.
