Re: 10 second Quater This car would never do 1/4 in 10 sec. Race prepared skylines with about 1000bhp just do it in 10 sec
Re: 10 second Quater Don't count this car out yet. I mean, a car that has a naturally aspirated 502 chevy engine can run the 1/4 well into the 9's, take Jesse James 32 Ford. It has a 502 Chevy big block, and runs through the 1/4, as he said, in 8 seconds. So this car could run through the 1/4 in 10 seconds no problem.
Re: 10 second Quater it does do 1/4 in 10s. Check the Koenigsegg website. The guys who claims it cant because 1000BHP skylines can hardly do it. Thats because they arent prepared properly. ANY 1000BHP car should blitz the 1/4 in sub10. The 1000TT Viper does in sub8 with Nitrous! Most 1000 skylines just arent set up for the power. BTW the CCR does it in 9s flat. STOCK
Re: 10 second Quater I really wouldn't be surprised if it could do a 10 second 1/4 mi. I mean, almost 700 hp for a 2600 lb car? simply amazing.
Re: 10 second Quater dudes. The thing about those skylines is, half of them that actually do have 1000bhp have atorque curve that starts very small, say 350 is pound- feet, then by the end of their 9k-ish revs is sky high, say 6-800 lb-ft, so they really aren't good for quarter mile times. The half that are set up right, the full-on race kind, are only in japan, and they run boost that would make your lungs explode. The other thing is, the Skyline is going to have a weaker 0-60 because it is a rather fat car. Also, it is much more a track car than a strip car. The koenigsegg also runs a v8 rather than an i6, lacking turbo lag because it has a supercharger.
I have to agree with you, CanadasPorscheMan. While I'm sure it just shaves the 10 second line, I'm sure this car could do it.
