how can you be so sure? And besides, WTF is z-tune anyway? We are talking stock cars here. I'm sure that a race-spec F1 will rape that "world - famous" z-tune skyline. Even if the skyline is faster off the line, F1 or Veyron would certainly achieve higher speeds faster, because skyline has aerodynamics of a box
If you don't even know what a Z-tune is, how can you make any sort of claim about it or its performance numbers? It is a stock car, perfectly road legal with fairly modest power numbers, for a fraction of the cost of either of those cars. McLaren and Bugatti both actually lose money every time they sell an F1 or a Veyron. And unfortunately, you gravely underestimate the Z-tune. Sure it looks like a box to the untrained eye, but so does an FQ400... Let's just say that it did the quarter mile in a hair over 10 seconds during TESTING.

And Agent, you are also mistaken. It does outhandle them both. It's essentially built for circuit driving, except it's street legal. The suspension alone is worth $20,000, and the body is 100% carbon fiber. C'mon, we're talking about NISMO here...

top speed stability is different from all-around handling.

I'd take a skyline anyday. mclaren's are floaty according to some magazines and the bugatti is just a rocket sled. fast but not much else.

godzilla rools.

Out of all those cars, no matter speed, Id still rather drive an Evo 8 MR FQ400.

I like to pretend the FQ stands for ****ing Quick...

evos have AWESOME performance, but their reliability and dealer maintenance are just downright miserable.

mod the car, or race it, and the dealers refuse to do warranty work saying you "voided" your warranty.

what a bunch of assclowns. maybe that's why mitsubishi is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Skylines are nothing when stock, just a heavy 300bhp car. Put it to you guys this way stock vs stock a STI will rape a Skyline in the 1/4 mile and in the twisties but to me that means nothing. The rb26dett's have been documented as hold 1000+whp on a stock bottom end.

modded supra TTs get over 1,200 hp easily.

toyota's inline 6 is the stoudtest tuner engine ever made.

They are also prone to spin rod berrings. Supra are nothing but DYNO QUEENS IMO

don't believe the hype. Popular Mechanics did a story on some dood that won several national races with his.
