skyline

[Shadow1]

It's a bad ass car imo, but I'm more excited about the new NSX which will probably be released in the year 2378 or whatever

There's a site here in holland and I've read so many articles about it that I'm getting tired of the GT-R.

Did you ever see the size of it?

Yeah, they're massive. It weighs as much as my Grand Prix... which is an extremely large car (also a 3.8L engine, with forced induction... that's where the similarities stop, though! )

thats the problem i have with it tho. its freakin huge. turns me off from it. i mean i wouldnt mind seeing one, just like i wouldnt mind seeing a R34 because i rarely see them. but its too big in my book

my neighbor owns a 73 skyline. ill post pics when i get a chance. that car is effin beautiful. i nearly nut in my pants every time i see it.

I would LOVE one of those... Those old ones are hard to get out of Japan. The GT-R models are damn near impossible (I've heard stories of people getting their lives threatened for trying... dunno if they're true)

I honestly see some merit in every Skyline model... even the original Prince offerings (though they got cooler when Datsun/Nissan took over)

its a pretty big car, but in person it doesnt look soo bad.

just gotta remember every bit of that car is more aero dynamic (& functional) then the r34 and previous versions.

Yeah, but you put the after your statement, which suggests you're unhappy with the change to a V6... His point was that there was likely a very good reason for it (and I'd have to agree... even though I do find the I6 to hold a certain charm!)

The "" Was there to represent my thoughts on not being a skyline. That means my chances of getting one are even worse.

It's like hearing about my favorite TV show being taken off the air. Now everything is collectible...

yah..booo hooo hooo, it does the ring in 7:26 with its "V6". I dont understand why people are so obsessed with the motor orientation and location in the car. The goal is to be as fast as possible, i think the engineers at Nissan might actually know what they are doing.

7:29.

ZR-1 ran it in 7:26.

Viper ACR ran it in 7:rediculously low number.

ZOMG, it looks like the GT-R is ready to eat the R34 GT-R!




saw a black one last month, filling up his tank with Shell V-Power. I just laughed at the amount he filled up.

I know it's nuts. i read in a mag today that with the $115k price tag cime the ZR1 and a trip to Pheonix to go to a High Performance Driving school completely paid for by chevy....

NUTS! also it said 0-60 in 3.4 seconds well before its recommended to shift into second!

I <3 Chevy

HOLY DAMN it's BIG...

still kicks ass

Actually, it is about 3900 lbs, which is about 300lbs MORE than your GTP.

It is also quite large in person. People are turned off by the size of the Accord coupe? Welcome to the Accord coupe with AWD. It isn't a bad looking car, and it certainly is fast, but it is too heavy, and too big.

The next NSX should be just slighly larger than the old one, despite offering more power and just as advanced technology.

Presently, I dislike the trend of increasing hugeness from all brands.

yea some automakers are taking the "go big or go home" saying literally.

I can sort of understand it for sedans and such, but not for full on sports cars. The classic recipe has ALWAYS been high HP, light weight, and small size.
