America vs. Japan: Which 6 cyclinder is the fastest

[Mighty Thor]

We know that Japan's fastest 6 cyclinder is the Supra.

America's fastest 6 cyclinder is the Grand National.

Pit these two together: whose the fastest?

The highest HP rating a Turbo Supra has ever gotten was 1600rwhp. Or I could be wrong.

The highest HP rating a GN has ever gotten was 1500rwhp. Or I could be wrong again.

The fastest Turbo Supra is at 7 sec.

The fastest GN is at 6 sec.

OR, I could be wrong. But nonetheless, to me, putting these two together would definately be the race of the century. [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

What about stock for stock?

American Engineering vs. Japanese Engineering without the added engineering.

For America yes.

Your trying to compare an Inline 6 to a V6, and then different years of cars etc... It's not going to work at all. Plus, "the fastest", you have to consider traction and actually getting down the 1/4 track not just a dyno.

And if you wanna get really technical, you gotta consider this:

It's sports a highly modified 24V 5.9L Cummins I-6 Turbo Diesel

True, but it's always these two 6 cyclinder cars you always hear about that's up there with the V8's(force inducted). In some cases doing better than a lot of V8's.

I know there's also the Skyliner, Typhoon, Syclone, 300zx, TTA, and many other 6 cyclinder cars.

But it's the Supra that's Japan's best and the GN America's best 6 cyclinder cars.

i would still pay to see the race. 6 cylinder vs 6 cylinder. american enginnering vs japan engineering. that would be awsome, ste up like an endurance race.

haha supra sucks ***... but a T-type woudl be much worse in an autocross, woudl be better off in a cyclone then a GN in an autocross.

I think its 287 hp, but it only can't be rated higher than that. A lot of people say the engines produce more, but its just rated at that for a gentlemen's law.

Stock. Otherwise you are just proving one build and tuning company is better than another.

[v6man]

i was talkin about stock, the different ways the motors are made as in the enginering behind them.
