Well let me see...those european/aussie cars on that track most likely could hit the 10's with their quick 4 bangers with double ball bearing turbos. As for the Skyline, with the weight of approx. 3,400 pounds and 300 hp, i'd say that the skyline could hit it in a good 14's.

Why would i say its better? because i dont like those little ff cars. the skyline has more capability, and fu*k yeah it looks hotter. Would i care that it cant run side by side on the drag strip? No i wont. Those smaller cars and that skyline have its own weakness. Dragging goes to those smaller highly modified european/aussie cars, as for circuit courses, i have to say the skyline.
And based on the fact that i'm not into dragging because it only last 8-15 seconds, i like circuit/autoX much more because it's not all about the machine, its about the driver's skill that wins the race.
