Default Tell me about skylines

Ok, so im over here in England and have seen quite a few skylines. I drive a low 12 second car. I know they have a TON of potential, but how are they stock? Should I tremble in fear everytime I see one? I totally restpect them and all, plus they look great, and they seem to have a big following. I just dont want to sound like an idiot the first time I meet a Skyline owner. Can someone give me the lowdown on HP numbers, Dragstrip E.T., AWD,RWD...etc. Just curious.

awd underrated 320hp heavy as shit (~3500+ lbs iirc)

0-60 low 5 second range

quarter mile as low as high high 12s stock @ ~106mph?




you have nothing to worry about

I wouldn't say that 3500 is heavy as shit esp. with AWD

I thought they were over 4K

P.S.,
Running a low 12, you shouldnt have a problem with a stock Skyline
