my son wants to know which is faster, the porsche turbo carrera 911 or the nissan skyline?

Question

quarter mile, and top speed...

Answer 1

A Prosche compared to a Nissan is like comparing The Pittsburgh Steelers to a local high school football team. Hope that clears it up for you and your son!!!

Answer 2

If you're talking the 1975-1977 911 Turbo Carrera, it does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds, the quarter mile in 14.7, and has a top speed of 153 mph.

The 2007 Carrera Turbo does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph...and a quarter mile time in the 12 second range.

As for the Skyline, released in the U.S. as the Infiniti G35, the specs for the 2008 model haven't been released yet. The rumor says Nissan is shooting for 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, an as-yet-unreleased quarter mile time and a top speed somewhere in the 180 mph range.

Answer 3

In standard out the showroom form..... definately the Porsche, since as far as I remember (from when i last bothered to look), the top speed of them was pushing past 180mph.
While the Nissan Skyline as far as I recall is restricted to 275BHP & 155MPH under Japanese Law.

However, the Nissan Skyline is a very popular car to tune, and I have heard of examples being tweaked to well over 1000BHP, but I don't know if anyone's ever clocked the Topspeed, but the Bugatti Veyron also has 1000BHP and been officially clocked at over 250mph.
Don't know how accurate this is to go by, but I have a Nissan Skyline in my garage on Playstation2 game "Gran Turismo3", tuned to 877BHP which I've had do 386kph (239mph) on the high speed bowl, and hit 400kph (248mph) while having a slipstream race with a RUF (modified Porsche 911) in one of the challenges.

Answer 4

The 911 is THE benchmark by which all other sports car are judged. But for the record, the latest 997 Turbo has been tested by MT in the wet did 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. The older 996 Turbo was a true 200MPH car, so how much faster on top end will the new one be?...

Balance, turn-in, feedback, tactile feel, brakes, cornering, high-peed stability/solidity are all something to consider in a sports car. The 911 has them all in spades.

Porsches record in endurance racing also is shattering at Le Mans, Daytona, etc.

If you son wants to read something about a technological uber-mobile, do some research on the 959. It was and still is probably the most technologically advanced product put on 4-wheels devised by man(and real world technology that was passed onto not only future Porsches, but other mfg's who bought the rights to use that technology.

Answer 5

i'd get the Porsche. The GT-R is actual slightly speedier. yet Porsche is the chief in turbocharging technologies. also they're widespread for making the fastest 6 cylinder autos and the finest 6 cylinder engines. The 911 speedy also receives extra acceptable gas mileage and it would probably very last more in an staying power race because there engines were made for racing. they could cope with extra. that is Nissan's first genuine supercar. they don't have as a lot adventure. also, there is not something like declaring you own a Porsche. Porsche is a admired sportscar type. Nissan is a familiar type. they don't concentrate on any certain type of vehicle.

Answer 6

according to automobile magazine, they are projecting the 2008 Nissan Skyline as a 3.2 second 0-60mph car, with a top speed near 180mph.

the 2006 Porsche 911 turbo reports a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds, and a top speed of 192mph.

The Porsche speeds and times are real, the Skyline times are projected for 2+ years from now, but are estimated to be slightly faster in the 0-60 range, but a lower top speed.

Answer 7

Based on 0-60 I would have to say the porsche.

Answer 8

911

Answer 9

Porsche.

Answer 10

the legal speed limit on nz streets are 100 kilometre per hour, so both cars are fast.
