ORIGINAL: 2001 mustang v6
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?????

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 ***" 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.

a couple of things i would like to say. The rotary engine may be nice and all, but its obviously not that much superior to regular piston cars, if they were, there would b a lot more rotary engine cars out there, and the other thing is the gt500 is like 45,000, where the gtr is gonna be atleast 70,000 thats all that is said about that.

In 2008 the next generation GTR will be coming to your shore and unless your driving in a straight line you will be looking at the back of this car.
