new Skyline GTR vs 03/04 Cobra

**MBH** · 08-26-2008, 08:31 PM

Finally some GTR vs anything videos are trickling onto the net...

from a stop:

from a roll:

No, its not my cobra, and no the mods aren't completely certain for the cobra. My best guess is that its just a pullied/intake/exhaust cobra, judging by the sound and the speed it accelerates.

"Godzilla" my ass

in a straight line at least lol

Skyline did pretty damn good, leaving price difference out of consideration. Nice to see an even match

**John4cam** · 08-26-2008, 11:37 PM

pretty strong nissan, what mods to the cobra if known?

**u1arunit** · 08-26-2008, 11:41 PM

They will be harder to beat from a dig for sure unless the Cobra has stickies.

Did you also see the vid on SVTP with both cars having 600 to the tires?

Here are the cars specs if you are interested.

"No official numbers are available, but the 3800-pound GT-R is said to be capable of a 3.5-second 0-60 run, an 11.7-second quarter mile and a 193 mph top speed.
Providing the motivation is Nissan's new VR38DETT twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 that puts out 473 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 434 pound-feet of torque from 3200 to 5200 rpm. Nissan says the 3.8-liter is all new and is not related to the VQ 3.5-liter V6 that powers the 350Z so ably. The GT-R engine is a DOHC, 24-valve, aluminum engine that uses two IHI turbochargers and twin intercoolers."

"3800-pound GT-R" ...She is a bigg'n too.

Aye Mark, don't forget to call me when you get one in at your dealership. I want to come and see it and foam at the mouth.

Yes, but its nowhere near on par with what the skyline superfans have been saying. If it weren't for the extremely obnoxious band wagon and the relentless hyping of this car as a giant killer, I'd agree with you. Initially a lot of people (some still do) say that the car will hold its own against the C6 Z06, which would have put a big time hurting on a run of the mill pullied cobra.

Yes, the owner of the cobra stated that he has a pulley, exhaust, full suspension (not sure what that means?) and had drag radials (no comment on what kind or what width), as well as running meth. I think that should put his car around 470whp and 4000lbs with the passenger.

Yeah, I couldn't make much from that video since there was no sound, but the cobra is definitely a KB cobra (original video poster has a 600+KB cobra), but the GTR right now wouldn't have more than 505awhp if its a stage 2 cobb, which is pretty much the most these cars have made yet. A cobb stage 1 is a catback and a tune, stage 2 adds a midpipe and high flow cats iirc.
power levels for the car are something like this
stock GTR = 430awhp
stage 1 GTR = 490 awhp
stage 2 GTR = 505 awhp

Not yet. Dealers are greedy. The front end guys make me so mad when it comes to this. I guess if they can get someone to pay 10k over sticker it's hard to blame them?
