Oh yes...AWD sux from a roll...here we go again 
Tell that to my buddy in his Mach 1 from a 3rd gear roll, oh wait those are probably slow from a roll too.
Nice runs Wis...definitely not something you see everyday

to be honest with you, i dont think the driver was at what i'd call 100% skill level. i mean, he is after all, shifting with the wrong hand. 
it was close, but unfortunately, this is my first R34 encounter, so I have nothing to gauge off of. I've had several R32 encounters, considering my friend used to own one, but that's a bit different car.

VERY heavy! and pushes barely 300hp- which is a very good matchup... as someone said- it only runs mid to high 13's stock... throw about $1500 and that changes to low to mid 12's...

nah... the EVO is a certified P.O.S.
(

For some reason though- at all track competitions I've seen, or simply read about- the Skyline always pulled the best numbers- usually up there with a well modified Supra- then you'd get into the Ferrari's, SC NSX's, EVO's ect... Sti's would end up a little farther down on the list- the EVO is definately a much better track car (SCCA)

i think a properly driven skyline from a stop would beat me. from a roll, i hardly have enough R34 races to say whether this is the norm or not. i believe the R34 skyline runs mid 13's at about 104 or so?

It's rare to even see one on the streets here, although we do know a couple guys around the area with them. I couldn't believe it happened when I ran one, I thought I was dreaming. Definetly the best run of my life, So far . You know of any other 3's in your area? maybe you'll be lucky and run into some others, but I doubt it. 34 is the rarest in the US.

i've had a few, meaning i've raced one several times. my friend had an R32 for about a year. in fact, he was the one (following me in his eclipse) that told me it was an R34.
