its not the quickest production car ever either if you consider the fact that mopar had some production cars hitting 10's in the late 60's, with out all the technology of today, namely fuel injection, forced induction, and improved tire technology.

whats that thing run on, C16? and $175k for a used car?

honestly, the skyline gtr's are nice cars, but people hold them up higher than they should be

On anything with a turn, the Skyline will piss all over a 60's hotrod. Hell, a Civic type R will as well.

True enough, but I'd be smiling bigger with a 60's hotrod than I would in a Civic. they are strictly drag cars. When you turn they float like a beast, lol.

I searched and searched for the article, but havn't been able to find it. I think it was in 1996, so it's been a while (no wonder it's not on the web) but when I go home this weekend I will get it. 10 seconds stock... there were some, but I wouldn't call them factory.

who would own a 350 chevelle? the only one I have ever seen that was worthwile was a friend of mine that droped a LT-1 into a former BIgblock SS body.=nice.

The 1969 427 six pack was the most powerful factory corvette to ever be produced. It was economically rated at 435 hp, but the wheel figures were well over 500. You take a car that is a little over 3k pounds, put a 500+whp (and keep in mind, probably over 600lbs of torque) and you have a drag car like no other., and that is as factory as it can be. The only problem is keeping tires on it. With todays tires on one, and a decent clutch, you can get an instant smile on your face that most people will never understand. Those cars came with a (what I believe was called a T-10) but that might have been the older vettes.... it was a plain 4spd, and it got the job done.

Those old cars had the power, it was the weight that was the problem. in 69 Chevy also produced a few prototype ZL1???? I forget.. corvettes with the same 427, they came with an aluminum block and heads instead of iron. The were not rated from factory, GM just said "a bit over 600hp"

The tech was there, but they didn't need it at the time except for racing.


People are still knocking the Vette for using transverse leaf springs and not coil springs... they do this without noticing that the 50ishk vette still gave a beating to the newest 911 carrera on the trac (which I posted up the numbers of in the last thread like this)

As far as that skyline having more hp than listed for insurance purpises??? um. hm. The guys that buy those cars have enough money not to worry about the insurance. Trust me, if it had more than 500, they would have had it in the text=trying to sell more cars). The old chevells and such were marketed to 20-30 year old working class people that wanted to have some fun. they could afford the car, and the insurance, but GM didn't want them to have to pay a crazy amount=it was a different time. The people that GTR was made for have 4+car garages and millions of $'s to back up whatever they want.
