The only good thing about a V8 is the noise and rumble. Rotisserie's for the win. Plus you can argue all you want. what happened when the R32 GTR got on the mountain against the V8's, it used the V8's to wipe its bottom. Don't get me wrong I love V8's and so forth but I think with the proper tuning and spend the same money on both cars and import will always win. end rant
Wow your so miss informed it's not funny. I believe your take on a V8 is a pre 80s classic muscle car. So yes in this instance your correct but take a closer look. Your comparing a car that was primarily design to go fast in a straight line vs japs version of a super car. classic muscle cars are usually have a high ride, are heavy and are rear wheel drive vs a low, light, 4WD. Tacking the individual setups and driver ability out of the question then yes your 32GTR should win. But if it was just a stock T the good luck.
But for the fun of it lest say your 32GTR goes against a typical V8 like an Audi S4. my money would be on the V8.
Now for a more realistic scenario XR6T vs 32GTR. the 6T stock, the 32 crap exhaust, puff valve, intake.
Win = low revving 5psi 4L 6cyl
Loser = mod revving ???psi 2.6L 6cyl
Also add the the fact the the 6T is a full 4 door family saloon and the 32 is a 2door Sports 4WD coop.

"Cant beat cc's (ie displacement)."
Drop the same block into a dif car, compensate for the engine weight (more forward or back) to a good comparison.
Cant beat cc's (ie displacement).
Anything you do to a smaller engine you can also do to a big engine and results will be bigger too.
Its just that most of the cars with big engines are also big cars.
The best example if the Bugatti Veyron.
8.0L W16 - 4 turbos and 1000hp.
But you can easily get 1100hp from a 2.7 litre with 1 turbo. Mind you its a RH9 R34 GTR fro Croydon but hey its only 2.7litres. And then there is a 2.0 evo running 10sec all day down the quarter at 700hp.
Ah seriously good luck with that. if you can build be( in you garrage, buy your self, without any help) an 1100HP engine from a stock RB26 within a couple of days on a budget of 5K and using a turbo no bigger then a GT3580, no nos, no blowers THEN I would consider that you know what your on about.
Oh and the evo, i think it would be more comfortable to drive a go-cart down a mountain hillside(on the terrain) then be inside that thing.
