Did anyone read the article in Motor where they tested all the "super cars" for top speed? The Skyline which was a late replacement for a Ferrari turned out to be the fastest of the lot!!

Lambogini was 302.8 or so but the Skyline R33 topped out at 307!! There were HSV, Jags Maserati etc and no-one took the Skyline seriously and it blew them all away.

 

I haven't seen the article myself but as I recall someone said the skyline was modified. Does the article say anything about that?

 

When I saw those numbers I almost fell off my chair until I saw you were posting from Oz!

307 MPH would have been pretty amazing though!

 

Very easy to believe. I have a video clip of a Skyline going from 0 to 315 km/h with a journalist in the passenger seat getting the ride of his life. This was the Top Secret GTR so it was probably putting out 500 to 600hp at least.

 

No point in comparing standard euro cars to modified Jap cars...it's apples and oranges.

A stock r33 GTR is a fine car but not the best thing to ever grace the Earth.

Another flawed comparo by Motor magazine? probably!
