You will need a lot of dosh spent on a skyline to pass a genuine 400bhp 4x4.
Take into account the cossies lower weight and better Cd figure,smaller wheels,big fat and flat torque curve and lower rev limit ect.Youare already ahead in theory.

People alwas brag about tranny lossses but what about the quality of power going to those wheels??

Technically a more correct way of putting that IMHO is that cossies make less BHP per LB/FT!!!!


As the reality is the cossie runs out of puff and dies at high rpm which is why it needs so much more torque just to make the same BHP figure.



Neither answer is really right or wrong though.
