^ Not that I'm hitting on you, but maybe they just like the guy driving???

Maybe they're thinking, "Damn, what a ugly car but let's pull this guy over anyway."

I wager it's anything BUT THE CAR, IMO.

Oh, wait you're from Oklahoma... No offense, but Miami is very different. I might be a pimp myself in your hood too.

Miami's all about gold-diggers.

Nothing turns on the girls out here like my SWEET mullet and champion bred pitbull in the back seat. What really gets them is when I open up the redneck convertable (T tops for all you Yankees) and let the mullet wave out the top like a victory flag! That right there my friend is how I do it.LOL

Yeah GTRs can be very fast. The RB26 has been known to make 900+RWHP with out ever having to remove the head. Should be interesting to see what kind of power Nissans new GTR will be able to make when it is released here next year.

You guys have it all wrong. If a vid of a 600 rwhp racing a stock Skyline was put up WITHOUT ANYTHING SAID AS TO WHY IT WAS PUT UP, I would have said the same thing.

Any car can be very fast, it all depends on who's packing more power under the hood, just looking at the name of the thread tells you who is going to win and obviously weight and traction

'00 Formula A4, 3.23's, lid, catback..pacesetter's coming on soon

Too bad the prototype has come NOWHERE NEAR the Nurburgring C6Z06 lap times...

I hope they REALLY TWEAK it more before it's released.

As it stands now, either way, it's the hottest Japanese GT right now, outclassing the others BY FAR... I've always been a big fan of all the GT-R's.

I thought it was put up to watch and discuss since the TC didn't specify... But then again, that's just me. My thoughts never coincide with those of normal human beings I've been told.

I have to strongly disagree. Maybe because where I am is %90 ricers, but I get way more looks by women than most other cars. As for the skyline, I totally respect that car, but it has no look. It really does look like a DD. performance wise it is great though. I would love to see them in the States. But it does NOT look performance, not even for a Jap car.

I've seen a few skylines down here, if you want to get really shifty, you can actually buy 'em cheap in japan, pay for shipping, and flirt the car around the DMV's and legalise it through Arkansas, Louisiana, an 'Bama.
They are still econoboxes... and they only have vastly inflated value in the grey markets. Yea, great power(and they require more work after 600whp than a ricer's idea of turn up teh b00st!), but I've seen more ratted ugly ones than clean exotic looking ones.



Skylines get "AZN" panties
F&Y-bodies get "36DD, blonde, blue-eyed" panties.


but what competition from Japan is there...? It'll take more than a great engine to get a world beater... like how about a diet?

I honestly don't see how this can look anymore DD than a GTO... To me, it definitely looks like a performance car.

UMMM obviously you don't know what you're talking about... The GT-R hands asses to nearly every American car (not the Vette) and many European cars stock vs. stock on a road course... That mean it's NOT just a great engine but a world class GT chassis as well, don't you think?

Or a viper for that matter. What other american supercars are there? (not talking about Saleen S7's or anything like that) The Supra and Skyline are the Japanese supercars whereas the 'Vette and Viper are the American supercars. Stock for stock, the domestics take the win. We all know that the Skyline and Supra are freakin beasts modded however.

That's a pretty cool vid! Fast *** skyline, but it does still look like a WRX more than a real sportscar.

Yup, the Viper too.

So you have a car that only the Z06 and the Viper are faster than here for a cheap price (R32-R34). I think that's pretty damn respectable.


I don't see how anyone can say the car's just "an engine" and that's it.

Let's see the old Skylines on the 'Ring and see if they're just "a good engine and that's it.":

7:28-7:40 - Porsche Carrera GT
7:40 - C6 Corvette Z06
7:40 - Mercedes SLR
7:43 - 996 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
7:43.5 - Lamborghini Murcielago
7:44 - Pagani Zonda C12S
7:46 - 996 Porsche 911 GT2
7:52 - Lamborghini Gallardo
7:56 - C5 Corvette Z06
7:56 - 996 Porsche 911 Turbo
8:13 — Dodge Viper SRT-10
8:22- Nissan R32GT-R
8:23 — Aston Martin DB7 GT
8:23 — Porsche 996 Carrera 4
8:24 — Subaru Impreza WRX STi
8:25 — Callaway C12
8:26 — Mercedes Benz SLK 32 AMG
8:26 — Nissan 350Z
8:28 — BMW M5
8:29 — Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG
8:34 — Acura NSX, 276 PS
8:35 — BMW M3 Coupe, 321 PS
8:35 — Brabus-Mercedes Benz C V8 Sportcoupι (02/2002)
8:37 — Honda NSX 3.0 (07/1991)
8:38 — Honda NSX 3.2 (08/1997)
8:38 — Mercedes Benz SL500
8:39 — Honda S2000 (01/2000)
8:39 — Morgan Aero 8 (04/2003)
8:40 — Holden GTS, on an in and out lap (2000)
8:40 — Chevrolet Corvette C5 Targa Automatic
8:42 — Lotus Exige (11/2000)
8:44 — Chevrolet Corvette C5
8:49 — Jaguar XKR Coupe
8:49 — Renault Clio Sport V6

I don't think the GT-R is "just an engine." Sorry.

The old R32 GT-R is faster than alot of AWESOME cars.

The fact that the new C6 and Viper are faster than the old GT-R's says alot about how awesome our Vette and Viper are in the twisties. It doesn't TAKE AWAY from the GT-R, it adds to them that they're even close... All these cars are badass.

And they're not all "supercars" either.

Yeah... 22 seconds faster than a C5 definitely ain't shabby. And that was the R32 Skyline, which came out in 1989, I believe.

Panties thrown by the Emo Metrosexual male STi and EVO owners don't count.
