No

Ever heard of a ''drivers car''? well the Skyline is the complete opposite to what a ''drivers car'' is.

Tell me what is exciting about a car that has 4x4, ABS, Power Steering, Automatic gearboxes, special gadgets that send power to different wheels when other wheels lose traction, and it's a car thats awfully heavy? the point is...the Skyline almost drives itself for you, I like cars that I have to drive.

The car isn't even set up like a real super/sports car is. I appreciate the car is fast, there's no deny that, the technology is fantastic...but it's incredibly boring.

I'd much rather spend half the amount on a Lotus Elise, whilst it may not be as fast...atleast it's a true Sports car, unlike the Nissan.
......... coming from username Fred Flintstone ...........


Oh the irony..




I totally agree though.



Anybody can make a car go fast or corner well. My passion is 8sec 1/4 mile diesels that launch at 70lbs of boost.

@ the first part of your post...

But even so with all the technology that is used on the Nissan Skyline, it still isn't the best way or the future of motorsport, it's just a cheap, tacky, boring way to make a car go fast.

The key of making a car fast is to make it as light weight as possible, Having the engine mounted in the middle of the car (mid engined) and having rear wheel drive...and doing away with the fancy gadgets such as ABS, Power steering etc which makes no difference to a cars performance (it makes it worse infact)...funnily enough the Skyline doesn't have ANY of those things...just look how a Formula 1 car is built (which pretty much proves my point)

Better than paying anything at all for a POS American car.
No such thing as a American car anymore...
