350 GT SKYLINE??? anyway Killed! I was on my way home, halfway through my hour drive when i saw it. Just on cruise listening to some George Strait. This guy tail gates the **** out of me. I'm like WTF? The fast lane is open and you tail me in the slow.
I change lanes so does he.We do this for like 2 miles. I cant figure ouit if its a 350Z or that Infiniti G35. So he finally pulls beside me, banging his head. (maybe he's having a seizure?
Outta no where he nails it and cuts me off! It's on now Biatch!! But what it is I have no idea The rear deck said SKYLINE in chrome and had a 350GT badge to the right. And a plate that read QUICKRNU. So I slam around him pull up next to him tap the breaks to break lock up and let out a lil rev.
He nails it again I let him have a 4' jump, then it was over. I pulled him a whole lenght football field from 70 to 120. I don't know what that things is still but it sucks!

It's the same car. Like putting a S13/14 badge on a 240sx, I'd think?

A 240SX here in the States w/ a bunch of Sylvia badges does not mean that it is a Sylvia with the factory Turbo inline 4.
To me, it's like putting an SS badge on a V6 Camaro.
Japanese cars had a incredible position in the mid-90's w/ a bunch of badass cars (MKIV Supra, 300ZX TT, 3000GT VR-4, RX-7) but I don't think there is any decent Japanese sports car IN THE U.S. now. Yes, the Japanese Skyline GT-R is outta hand... Over there.
Unless you go four-door, which I think sucks for a sports car, viz. Lan Evo/STI.
Besides, American Muscle rules
I used to like imports alot more. I still go goo-goo-ga-ga over a pretty, non-rice, Rex or Supra... Kinda wish I had one to play around with, too, in addition to my car.

Im sure it was just a bagded G35 which I agree is dumb. There is alot of mystism surrounding the Skyline here in the states. That car is considered by alot of the ricer crowd to be untouchable in any type of race. The facts are the car isnt any faster than a stock LS1 in stock form. A friend of mine loves the Skyline, not because its some magical car, but because he likes the body of it. Even he agrees that the car is way overhyped by people here and it run mid - low 13s and around 105 mph.

I'm a huge fan of the Skyline, and it's one of my pet peeves when people put badges on something they don't have. Like someone already said it's putting an SS badge on a V6.

Bro, I am a huge fan of them, too... Wouldn't mind having a Midnight Purple Pearl R34 GT-R for fun. There is a company here that modifies them to meet Federal specs for a legal road car... Ameritech, I think. Then you just purchase the car through them. You end up paying for the car's transport, taxes/overseas b.s., modification costs, and the healthy dose of profit they make. In short, you end paying something like $80k or more if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, of course: None of here would probably pay something like that for a car like that. Of course, If I was somewhere where there were no TA's, I'd probably pay up for an analogous circumstance to get one. Well, if I could afford $80k anyway.
For huge fans of the car, diehard ones, good for them if they buy one. I'd rather pay that for that car than more for a slower NSX with notorious alignment problems. Some guy drove one (R32) to the dealer where my friend works once, and everyone was like, "Oh! That car can take a Lamborghini. Yeah, that's a skyline, blah, blah, blah" like neanderthals staring at a crashed alien spacecraft. Yeah, I have an appreciation for the car as an enthusiast. But...
It is sad how some people have so much rice for brains that they view the car like it's magical or something, knowing nothing about it. We can thank 2Fast2Furious for that.

Oh I understand all about the RB25DETT and the part time all wheel drive system the cars have. They can be made into a beast, but so can anything else. I just get tired of the "Skylines are the fastest cars in the world" and "Nothing can beat a Skyline, they come from the factory running 10s on low boost" BS that I hear over and over. Its dumb people that dont know anything about the cars that get on my damn nerves. As stated above alot of people see it as some magical peice of machinery that is untouchable by any other car.

We have two in MV, an R32 and R33 both from MotoreX. Good looking cars but they refuse to line up with me. Skyline's are rated at 271 at the flywheel but will hold more with higher boost. The GT-R? How many GT-R's were built? Hell, anyone can build a one off super terror but good luck finding one.

They wont line up with you because they dont want their "magial" car to get its *** handed to it and make it lose its "magicalness". If thats even a word.

in japan they have a law about cars being advertised as over 280hp the skylines a re underrated they are incredible cars much like stock ls1 and take well to mods as it is a turbo car. I said a skyline would destroy a 350z or g35 and its true skylines run low 13s and 350 s and g35 run 14-15's
