Yes its true no matter how I dogged it the Skyline is noticeably faster.
And it will be appearing on the next Clarkson vid, according to its owner.
But dont tell me all you "my Subaru is the fastest car in the world" folk, my P1 must be a 5hite one right.
No cats thrashed from new 12500 miles and Millers.......oh and a w3nker driver.
Waiting for a bite.

Birdy,

Mr Bird a w4nker driver? nah! I think he was probably working out which display to use on the Skylines telemetry .

Mr Hapgood, I think you would be careful with £60k woth of car on your first track day.

Steve's driving seemed fine to me when we went out on Saturday for a blast, and as an owner of a P1 I think the Skyline is in a different league in terms of performance delivery and quality of the car.

Like Arron I too have ordered a proper car, hopefully get mine before him

Arron

Why not buy a skyline and be done with it ?
Saw in last weeks Autocar two, year old UK skylines with mods, £18k less than it cost the owners. Now that is depreciation. Buy one of them.

Interesting comments.............
Chins I ordered a new M3 today mate and the Skyline is way outta my league in budget terms but yes If I could afford it I would......no doubt.
Please dont forget it has to be driven and as you all seem to think Steve is a to55er driver that makes it worse eh!
I think he`s gonna suprise a few of you on the next track day.
Keep dreamin.
Skylines are ****.we all know that.
Oh and dont forget it isnt standard eh.

Now how's that old saying go

A bad workman always blames his tools.

Suppose it depends on the spec of the skyline, in std form they both put out 280BHP
The Skyline is 200KG heavier, torque is about the same (i think, from memory).


So far the odds are stacking up in the P1's favour - Pilot error maybe?

So shall we rename this the BMW board instead. There is a total lack of good BBS for BMW as far as Ive seen.

Jonathan

Also hoping to get my M3 before Arron
