Default S2K vs Skyline GTR 33 & 34 (Stock Vs Stock)

First race was wid skyline gtr33.. it was me alone in my car and him alone.. We both stopped at a red light when he asked me to race his stock car.. it was a direct imprt from japan (right hand drive) We both took off well.. and it was even in the first gear.. 2nd was intresting along wid 3rd,4th and end of 5th.. Everytime i would get to around 8000 rpm till 9k i would inch away from him.. so by the end of 5th i was atleast car ahead of him. It was one of the best races ... cuz it looked like he lost ground wen he had to shift and i was still in da lower gear wen he shifted to higher...

Second race was with Skyline GTR 34 (also right hand drive stock).. He was right behind me.. tailgating me for a while.. wen i decided to punch it.. I took sum tight corners and turns.. he was right behind me...then the road opened to a str8 highway.. i downshifted to 3rd and around 105 kms.. i punched it.. to my surprise i was gaining on him.. not by much though.. but id say wen i stopped... i had atleast 2 car lengths... iw ent all the way uptill 230 kms...
Later we both pulled over and he was surprised by s2k's performance.. He wants to meet up again and do sum runs.. from Dig ...
What chance do i have from dig with gtr34.

Are you sure they were GTRs? Because I don't think the S could keep up with R33/R34 GTRs from a launch or a roll, especially the R34. Those things run high 12s stock.

I don't like to use any C&D or R&T data but they tested a couple skylines over the years and posted high 13 low 14 times at about 100mph or so. Remember these cars are about 3600lbs. Someone correct me if I am wrong this is from memory.

Probably the owners are still getting used to the RHD car if you guys normally drive LHD vehicles. Shifting could be really tricky on RHD cars if you are used to LHD.

With any properly driven GTR r32, r33 or34 you have absolutely zero chance from stop or roll.

Are you sure 'the r33 wasn't a GTS? A lot of people put GTR badges on GTS's. I have raced several GTS and the results were very similar to what you described.

The r34 could have possibly been a GT-T although from a roll GT-T are still pretty fast.

Don't know about the GTR33, but I've read quite a few tests on the GTR34, and those can be very fast. In stock trim, they're able to do high 12's, low 13's. When modded, they are monsters, like...ummm....Supras.
