"Sorry to say, but its still a Chevy!"

Thats not talking negative, Im describing what I wouldnt want in an 80k dollar vehicle. When describing the likes of a Ferrari, Lambo, Zonda, Porshe, and Chevy and trying to determine what women would prefer, do you honestly think GM should be in there? This is why I said, it is still a Chevy!

You gave me a link to a race between a Skyline, Subaru, Lambo and C6 Z06. The point of you doing this, still amazes me, becuase the Z06 lost! It could not beat a stock Skyline, nor a Subaru STI.

Using your logic, I could call a Ferrari "Just a Fiat", or a Lambo "Just a VW."
I dont know about you, but I would prefer lightweight a suspension(lighter than coils) that has been proven time and time again. Every time GM had test mules out for new vettes there were some with coils, and every time the leafsprings got to production.

Do you even know what a sedan is? There is your ignorance once again. The GTR is a 2 door NOT a 4 door sedan.
OMG you need to call Porsche RIGHT NOW! They have a book shelf on the rear of their car what were they thinking!!!!!!
*sigh* how old are you? 40? 50? Your about as dense as my grandpa...
And just a FYI the 300ZX TT > then your brothers 350Z.

Yeah, and the Ford GT engine is essentially a reworked Mustang motor, but you can't call the Ford GT's engine a "Mustang motor." Just thought I'd jump in on this one.

But at least the Ford GT and mustang engines are made of the same material. the LQ and LS are not even composed the same.

:Wow, lots of ignorance in this thread.
First of all, Im a vette man to the bone. I love everything about them, and can tell you almost anything. I love both of these cars for what they can do.
But if you came on here bashing a skyline GTR because 1) its an import, 2) you know nothing about it, or 3) call it a ricer because it was in MOVIE; you are not a true auto enthusiast, more like a fanboy. Wonder how many times the vette was badly portrayed in a movie?
Opinions on styling are one thing, but facts on performance and build are another. The GTR is an automotive masterpeice, and has been since the R32, much like the vette but in different aspects. Sure the vette outperforms it hands down now, but if you compare like years this is not always true, especially 89' - 96' GTR's when the vette was somewhat lacking.
When it comes to performance per dollar, the vette kills it (in the USA), but that doesnt change the great technological aspects of either cars. Nissan dropped the ball on the later year GTR's in performance IMO. They were such good performers they didn't bother improving it much.
The GTR had technology 20 years ago that some higher end cars still don't have. It performed better than most supercars. And as far as the RB26DETT goes, it is hands down one of the best motors ever built. Not to down play the LSX's though. If the US had a market that better supported the RB26, it would easily be among the serious competitors. Theres a reason why they are the kings in japan.
Take this from someone who has owned a few vettes, built and owned RB26's, and doesnt care what some trick (ho) thinks about either.
This thread was doing great till the fanboys ignorance (both sides) stepped in.

Its funny to see people stick up for a car they don't own or have never driven. Ricers like the Skyline because they never made it here and they can spout off myths and most domestic guys won't be able to say there lying. I think its funny because I am pretty impressed by the Vette. Thats why I own one, I can't really respect people who nut hang and adamantly defend cars they don't own. That would be like me owning an Aveo and declaring that the Skyline was a pos.
I know alot about the Skylines, even contacted Motorex and went and looked at a modified R32. Also rode in a HKS Blackbird and a R34 V Spec. Impressive cars but even the Japanese and Europeans comment on how cold and clinical they are. But if I hear another myth about a Skyline making 1,000 reliable hp for 200k miles on stock turbos I swear I will punch someone in the face!
