Bingo It's not the turbo that consumes the fuel, it's the components that uses the turbo to its full potential.
I saw the new Skyline in hong kong the other day,.. didnt really tickle me fancy all that much. Maybe its becoz i dont own it.. hmm
it look so goof but i think that it will look better with apple red color i saw one in my work place n it is great
I agree with "kontradictions", turbo cars dun drink fuel. Its the driver that drinks the fuel. If you maintain the rpm below the point where the turbo jumps in, there will be no difference in fuel consumption.
lol, wtf? no it's the turbo. THat "vroom vroom... pssshhhhhh" comes from shifting and turbo...assuming u didnt kno..
the style of cars these days cant match the cars back then; however, the cars these days are beasts compare to the ant-like cars back then. Modding or any tuneups doesnt have much effects to old cars compares with new ones. based on emissions, the new ones can pulverize the old models.
How about a Nissan Nismo Z instead? Haha...a SuperGT. Anyways, back to good old road cars. The new GTR and the Nismo 350Z have the performance, no doubt. But aesthectically, I'd take the G37x or 2007 Altima instead (why in the world are they making the Altima look like a G35 in 2008??!! Argh!). The R34's looks also set it apart from the more European styling, and I feel that uniqueness was much more better suited for the japanese supercar.
Done a cut and paste of the press release on my blog! http://breakersrevenge.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D5322682BA2B81CF!201.entry
im still loving the r34 more personally i dont really like how all the hardcore street cars are being changed into luxury cars... just keep it simple, but with the odd luxury... GBP£34K!!! Im gonna have meself one in a few years
The GT-R will normally cost around 40k Euro in Germany, but because its in competition with Porsche(140k), it will go around 60k - 70k. It burns around 7 - 8l /100km. And yes, even in the USA it will be sold with Twin Turbo. I have some sites, but all in german language, so i think it makes no sense to post them ^^
Does it go around the Nurgburing in 7:38? I highly doubt that. It's not about the straight lines, it's about how you corner.
Dont think the handling is good enough to power steers traveling on 70mph around corners. But even tho the odds is on me, ill take it on. lol.
