challenger twin turbo SCARY but far as looks they have grown on me my favorite thing about skylines was always the tailights at least they kept those so im happy. amazing car a real giant killer.
They were worried about breaking the car because it was not on loan from Nissan and BELONGED TO A PRIVATE OWNER. Top Gear had the same concern when they got an Enzo to put around their track. They eventually got Nick Mason's on loan since getting one from Ferrari was impossible.
It really is well engineered to drive like that when it's so heavy. A great edition to the GT-R line, and finally available in the US. Thank you Nissan. Message to Honda, bring back the NSX. On a side note though, "Faster than the Z06 and 911 Turbo, only the Viper was faster through the cones." Yeah, the Viper can't handle. I guess the other 3 can't either.
yeah your right, my dad works for nissan and you get people that use the launch control at every traffic light and of course the gearbox is gonna fail after a while
um, alot of companies have an intelligent awd system, mitsbuishi has had them for years, honda duz, which also means acura duz so its not like its a new concept. toyota also has one and will b used on the celica.
Hm but their intelligent systems don't mainly drive the rear wheels and apply power on the front wheels only if really needed, do they? That's what I thought was new.
It will still (hopefully) make some of the ignorant domestic fanboys shut up and maybe change their mind about japanese cars. In my opinion the main thing that will absolutely make the Nissan clearly the better car is the intelligent 4WD - and no one can deny that, because this car combines the absolutely best of both FR and 4WD worlds. I always wondered why nobody would develop something like that, and Nissan did it. Must be awesome to drive.
No doubt dude, but i heard it voids the warrant. That really sucks, if they made such an amazing car, might as well have a warrant on the launch control...
Still an american muscle guy, but I've always liked the skyline. It's a true Import car unlike the civics and sti's and shit. But there are still all motor v8's out there that can take it. And if GM got off their asses and actually built a bad ass twin turbo production car with a v8 it would be over.
lol, I found that part weird too. I mean, you look at a beast like the Viper with its huge ass engine and think "its 0 - 60 must rape everything els..." and yet it corners very well =P.
Can we both tokyo drift around it lol? If my goal was to handle better. I could lower it, go to an irs, stiffer spring rate etc. and do pretty good against it. Not bad when my car with the mods is only 22k after all its 8 years old and worth about 7k. I should hope it could out handle the old stang. I would love to have this skyline I'm not bad mouthing it. I'm just bragging on skill at modding my mustang. If had this car and was modding it I would be in the 9's I just love drag racing.
Alright, so just for clarification, what is the next fastest Japanese or Asian car? I'm not talking about a modded fanboy car, or a concept, i mean production. NSX?
its not far cheaper, its going to b about equal to the z06 and is seperated by only a few tenths in all the tests. i got nothing against the r35, its a great car, but dont go bashing other companies bcuz nissan made this car.
WOW you see what computers do for stupid drivers that have no skill? yeah Launch controll? AWD? Even a granny can drive this thing fast. The question is: Who's driving who? Some day most car will be driven by computer, mainly to keep idiots from driving of a hill.
HAHAHA, durka durka, supra's, skyline's, honda's, whatever. They're all junk. Go buy a Lancia Delta S4 instead (ITALIAN, duh, already better...). Better handling, 0-60 2.5 seconds (that was measured on a DIRT ROAD), and well, one of the most impressive sounding cars.

Good test. Fairly definitive.
Great review. I want one!!!!
Eight(8) cylinders in V-formation. Angle approx. 45degrees. :)
1965 Cobra- 0-60 3.5 seconds. We did it already.
Owned... Simply owned...
The Beast.
at 2:17 this is the ultimate AWD car in the world!
agreed. i think they should have stuck with a bit of the skyline originailty.
They were worried about breaking the car because it was not on loan from Nissan and BELONGED TO A PRIVATE OWNER.

ya , only problem , they stopped making them 20+ years ago and its 0-60 was never confirmed.
yeah your right, my dad works for nissan and you get people that use the launch control at every traffic light and of course the gearbox is gonna fail after a while
Sweet! especially for stock. If you played with the tune and up the boost wow! But my old stang could beat it in the 1/4. I run a 11.26 at 129.38
um, alot of companies have an intelligent awd system, mitsbuishi has had them for years, honda duz, which also means acura duz so its not like its a new concept. toyota also has one and will b used on the celica.
i saw one today on the freeway and I almost crashed in awe.
Jesus Christ. There is no faster car in the world for the price. As if the previous Skylines weren't genius enough.
omg dude i just wet my pants man lol
cant wait for this beauty to come out in the U.S.!!!
this is the god of all cars
That's incredible.
Switzer GT-R rules the world
ohh.. means the engine is shaped in a V-formation?
@megawelderguy haha, wait till comes to a turn, not minding coming to a stop.
Hm but their intelligent systems don't mainly drive the rear wheels and apply power on the front wheels only if really needed, do they? That's what I thought was new.
isnt all the porche looked the same?? 200k more for different spoiler
this shit will smoke lambo and ferrari!!!!!!!!!

hahah Damn right. The V-spec will shit on Domestics and so will the Evo Spec which is rumored to be a 2 seater
nvmm.. as in the cylinders oni right?
No doubt dude, but i heard it voids the warrant.
That really sucks, if they made such an amazing car, might as well have a warrant on the launch control...
wht do u mean by V8?
11 seconds in a quarter mile.. for any production car is fast.
Still an american muscle guy, but I've always liked the skyline. It's a true Import car unlike the civics and sti's and shit. But there are still all motor v8's out there that can take it.

..... are you serious?
I missed the point of your comment.
lol, I found that part weird too. I mean, you look at a beast like the Viper with its huge ass engine and think "its 0 - 60 must rape everything els..." and yet it corners very well =P.
id get 1 if i get the money though
specially when its 3900lbs
the greatest thing is that the USA selling model is watered down, isnt that a punch in the sack?
amazing... Still, Id take a Z06 over that every day. Nothing like a V8 !
how on gods green earth can they squeeze 500 hp out of a V^ wen thats the same they get from some V8s or V10s
Can we both tokyo drift around it lol? If my goal was to handle better. I could lower it, go to an irs, stiffer spring rate etc. and do pretty good against it.

I would love to have this skyline I'm not bad mouthing it. I'm just bragging on skill at modding my mustang. If had this car and was modding it I would be in the 9's I just love drag racing.
nope
id like to see ur mustang beat it round a corner
that shit is heavy whats top speed?
It turns out that it's just Nissan build Versa like cars for Chrysler and Chrysler build trucks for Nissan.... nothing exciting.
Alright, so just for clarification, what is the next fastest Japanese or Asian car?
I'm not talking about a modded fanboy car, or a concept, i mean production.
NSX?
its not far cheaper, its going to b about equal to the z06 and is seperated by only a few tenths in all the tests. i got nothing against the r35, its a great car, but dont go bashing other companies bcuz nissan made this car.
my supra twin turbo beats it modded, none the less an extremely powerful production car.
Nice but take out the electronic awd and turn it in to a rwd and lets see the out come oh wait never mind just get a zr1 lol
370Z
wtf is kneesan i know nissan not kneesan
holy shit
jajajaja lol just remember to activate the launch control!
Yep.. just wait until the Vspec and Evo spec arrive.. Muscle car bitches will be pissed off across the US ahhahahaha
