I'm biased as hell myself, but I truly do believe the hype, the MKIV is the best of the best.

I guarantee that if MKIVs weren't available in the States, they'd be on Skyline status, too.
i've driven in a 901HP skyline GTR34 nismo version. this car excelerated so fast i felt body parts being pulled apart and im not over exagerating. The cornering is amazing but this dudes car rear tires let go accelerating thru a slight corner then he drifted it and str8end up like it was nothing. truely amazing. AWD and RB26dett is an amazing thing.
