Haha!


Ok.

 

So basically its the rarity then..... I understand their abilty to modify, however, EVERY car can reach the same abilities as a Skyline. Yes, Skylines look nice, but some people are sooooooooo hung up on them a Ferrari Enzo or Saleen S7 could park right night to it and these people wouldn't even notice. I guess I just don't get it.

 

STi and Evo. Simlar performance. Both have many performacne aspects where they own the skyline gtr.. espeically price, handling, and gas milage!!!

 

Neither of which are twin turbo 6 cylinders.

 

besides being made a purpose built race car from the ground up, dominating every form of racing that will still allow it to compete in, having the most advanced all wheel drive system, a block that can shrug off 700+hp with no modification, having virtually every japanese aftermarket company making parts for it, its not a special car at all.

"...merely raising the limits of usable adhesion wasn't enough for Nissan. It had to have a purpose, a way to convincingly show the world just how much faster its precious GT-R had become. And what better place to prove themselves than on the famed Nurburgring circuit in Germany? The lap time the firm set out to achieve, though, seemed virtually impossible - could the GT-R become the first production car to cover the circuit's 22kms in under eight minutes?

The 1989 Skyline GT-R had crawled around in eight minutes 20 seconds, and the Porsche 911 Turbo and Honda NSX-R could each only manage eight minutes six. The new GT-R's aim even made the Germans smile. It could never be done. But they did it. Seven minutes 59.78 seconds. A truly spectacular achievement, putting the '95 GT-R into the history books and making it the car every manufacturer will have to beat.

Nissan went for broke and left Germany with a legendary lap time. The elusive eight-minute barrier is no more. In taming the mighty Nurburgring, the GT-R has redefined the concept of cornering. Again."

and this is for the R33.... The R34 sports a more advanced awd system, a chasis thats 50% stiffer, its rb26 produces more torque, and it tops everything off with revised aerodynamics resulting in better high speed manners.

"Nissan has confirmed that during recent tests at the 12.9-mile N?rburgring circuit, the R34 has lapped quicker than the previous production car record set by the old Skyline GT-R, but because they weren't going for a record, an official time has yet to be released. Rumour has it that the new car may already be up to 10secs a lap faster... "

If the new incarnation can live up to its namesake i say start saving cause 70k is a bargain for this level of performance.

 

Well, I was at the Best Buy next to Cheaspeake Square mall today and I saw a Blue Infiniti G35, but I had to take a double take cause there was skyline badging all over it. I didn't get to see it too well, but there was most definatly skyline badging on it, different rims, different front then a G35.

Not sure if it was just some dude with a blue g35 that put the skyline badging him self or what. So, food for thought.

 

He's on here. Beautiful car. I don't know what part of it is 'food for thought' though..

 

LMFAO... I thought poopras had enough hype of thier own?

 

I dont obsess over Skylines at all, I just think the R34s are insanely sexy looking

 

what are you talking about, you can buy a USDM Skyline from the Infiniti dealer, it's called the G35. If you are talking about the GTR model, the R35 model should be out in both the US and Japan.
