no one in japan wants to spend 76k on a skyline. n bringing it to the u.s u would not be able to drive it on the road. it would cost as much as a 911 t n performance is nowhere near the 911t

On paper a US Spec EVO or STI is faster for half the price. According to all the numbers i've seen a R34 pulls a 13.7 in the 1/4 stock, and its heavy, so most cars can out handle it. I don't get what the big thing is about.
specs
different specs page same results
I mean yea its cool that its RHD and all, but its not the monster everyone makes it out to be stock.
Now if the japanse government didn't regulate the HP output to 280 it'd be a different story i'm sure.

that isnt a stock skyline first off. it is a Nismo Skyline people, which means that car is running low 13's or high 12's I estimate
NISMO Modified parts spec. list:
Turbine, Camshaft, Injectors, Oil Cooler, Radiator, Intercooler, Clutch, Muffler, Intake Manifold, Suspension set, Front Bumper, Side Skirt, Rear Spoiler, Shift ****.
Personally I think most people would agree they would buy a z06 or c6 any day over that.
ohh want to be exclusive you say? get yourself a Lotus esprit v8 TT for 68 grand. Yes the MSRP is 90 but we were able to pick one up for 68 from a dealer in town < yes it was new!
we would have boughten it but my but no way someone thats 6'3 can fit into a lotus.
BTU lotus will kick a vettes, skyline, porsche 911T, viper,Ferrari 360 @ss around a track anyday.
the weight distribution is perfect! the car is balanced.. skyline is heavy
.02 cents

That Esprit though... MAN. The first time I saw a Lotus on the street, I about rear-ended the car in front of me from just staring. I love them. My neighbor's ex-husband had an Esprit for his daily driver, but he decided it was impractical, so he bought a 350Z and a G35. The Z is gettin modded.

Rep Power: 364 I was in love, too. It was an older guy driving it, and he could totally see me and my dad gawking at his car. He drove by (he was making a left turn and I was going straight,) and we gave each other thumbs up.
/me needs a Lotus.
