Barra vs RB* What Is The Best Turbo Sedan?

[@deanpolis4516]

F6 will always be my first choice due to its practicality and performance overall. That skyline tho is very cool, nothing can beat the old school 90s JDM era of sport cars. Both cars are so different yet almost similar.

[@RossReviewsau]

Agreed! They really are so different but both so good! Was cool to see the differences back to back

Enjoyed the comparison, Ross. I agree I wouldn’t mind owning both but if I had to pick I’d have the F6. The BF F6 is one of my favourite cars based off design and capability. Thanks for the video.

Need more german barras on the channel - would love a comparison with some straight 6 beemers. We got a tuned m235i recently (N55 not quite a B58) and it's about 360rwhp; 12.5sec ish 1/4 mile. Great little car

[@Xlerv8]

Well done, mate, very good comparison between cars. As my old man worked at Ford, i will always have a bias, but can appreciate the JDM goodness of a Skyline, as my old man also had an old school 4 door version of it. They are such wonderfully created driver's cars. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing.. both are very fun’ but I love a Barra too

Killa vid as always champ. I'd pick the barra every time over the rb or any car matter fact. There's just something special about the barra that just makes me smile from ear to ear, hence why I've oven 5 Falcon's. Hey mate, also if you're interested in flying down to Adelaide in maybe a year or so and doing a review on my 605rwhp g6e turbo that has a fair amount done to it, I'd be down to letting you the 1st person other than me to drive it. Just got a respray and got built zf 6r80 hybrid trans in the works to support 800+ rwhp to be done before everything is set in stone, if you're interested.

I own an BF F6 ground up build every suspension bush caster kitted teins built motor diff fuel system ect. F6 built is a completely different animal v JDM they're Grand touring sports car produced by Australians 🇦🇺 for our rubbish roads. I've owned many JDM car's now I own F6 once you sort the front end out on the F6 caster & camber wise the steering is faster and much more accurate. For me this made a huge difference especially when very spirited mountain ⛰️ driving 😂 Epic work Rosco like the comparison video 🇦🇺💪🇯🇵💪🏁

[@RossReviewsau]

Awesome work brother 👏

[@auscarlover7485]

Hey boss what work did you do to the front? And brands you used? Keen to get this responsiveness in steering

[@50jun]

@auscarlover7485 The front bottom control arms have eccentric bushes fitted to push out widening the track. The tops having a kit can't remember maker's brand, it came with a stack of offset shims longer high tensile bolts allowing both control arms to push outwards and forwards. This changes the caster camber and Ackermann steering geometry.The Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii... My F6 drives and handles at very high speed allowing stability & control in corners BF handling is usually very uncomfortable especially under brakes or very hard wide open throttle. I hope this help 🙏

[@spaghetti941]

Funny i was comparing these two cars in my head recently. I miss my old 33 that was 320rwkw. It was a monster. But its also kinda limited space wise being a small car. I was thinking maybe i could settle for a barra if i was to get one. But r33s are a cool place to sit. Being small and light is big for me.

Great video mate 👍 I'd take the skyline for the fun of it because we both love to drive these simple car's. But the Falcon looks better, sounds better and more practical for Australia. It would really come down to where I'm living at the time as to which one I'd pick. Falcon would win most of the time, but if I was living in the mountains or daily on the Twistys I take the skyline. 🙂

Another excellent video mate. I feel like the skyline would be a fun car to zip around on weekends/track. But i feel the f6 would suit the cruise power daily.
