ok, i never said there is anything "wrong" with the car, i love the G35.

a straight 6 has characteristics that a V6 does not and vice versa...
its not all about power you know, its the delivery...

have you ever driven a straight 6 car?
have you ever driven a Skyline?

maybe thats why you dont see it.

No i mean it will come out in 08, as a 09 model. I doubt all manufacturers notify ALL employees about cars coming out in a year or two.

So, I guess all the R&D used for the VQ engines in JGTC mean nothing. People need to stop bitching about the V6 and get over it. And yes, I've driven a 3 series with a straight 6, and nope, haven't driven a Skyline. I guess you're the expert in that field.

I think, on paper at least, that the skyline is worthy of more respect than it has been granted. Though I have never driven one, how many cars have the mechanical features that a GT-R had, not to mention for under $100,000?

4WS that changes whether the back wheels steer with or against the front wheels depending on speed

AWD that is primarily RWD that diverts power to the wheels with grip while slipping capable of 100% FWD or RWD

TV screen in the middle of the dash with all the gauges you could want

276 [b]official[b] BHP, almost 300 to the wheels if put on a dyno

I forgot where I read all of that, so sorry for the lack of citation.

I would rather have a GT-R N1 than any Italian supercar

If there were one of those hypothetical situations where you couldn't sell the car.
