the Skyline is one bad A car, and i would pay 50 grand for it, soup it up even more and just go out and smoke all these people in there boxters and carreas just to show that you dont have to spend obsence amounts of money on a car just to have the speed. that and the skyline is a very nice lookin car. and yes it gives the Evo and Wrx Sti imprezza a kick in the butt, but i would still love to own one of those to. and who cares if its a Nissan, i would rather own a Jap import instead of a BMW or a Jag or anything, i would gladly admit that i paid 40-50 grand for a Nissan and when someone started to make fun of me for it, take em out to the track and school in my Skyline Grin

But the problem is, buy the time you've brought the Skyline, and had it souped up you will probably have spent just as much as anyone your going to smoke. Especially if all they've got is a Boxter.

If your gonna blow that much on a car, then at least blow it on a make that's worth it. Tongue

im not sure if (standard) skylines are any quicker than evo's......officially they make 276 bhp, but its more often 300. but these days you can buy an evo with 230, 300 or even 400 bhp...i dont think a standard 'line would smoke a 400 bhp evo..... Wink

Personally I'd rather save my self £47,000 and buy a Landrover. Then if some prat in a Skyline or Evo challenged me to a race I would agree on the condition we could have a crash afterwards. Grin

The new skyline has beaten the Evo.
And Boxter? ahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Grin
infact even a boxter owner would laugh at you if you spent 50 grand on a nissan and then a ton more on kitting it out just to beat a boxter.
As for jaguars, which do you mean? the 2 ton s type or
the X type which barely tops 200bhp for half the price of a skyline.
Sorry but for the 50 grand they are asking for the skyline you could buy. An aston martin v8 vantage, a ferrari 355. Both of which could take a skyline out back and whoop it. In a couple of years you could get a ferrari 360 for 50 grand. At least you can say you own those with pride Wink

thats true, but with a ferrari you have the worry of unreliability (which they are!), very high servicing costs and insurance.... at least with a skyline you know it aint gonna break, you could service it yourself (well, i could anyway) and though insurance would indeed be high, my guess is it would still be lower than a ferrari.

but id still have the ferrari!!  Grin

Its safe to say, if you can afford the Ferrari, or Skyline, Insurance isnt going to be too much of a problem, same goes for parts:)
I would actually put the Skyline above the Ferrari for insurance, its more of a street racer and more likely to be stolen. But thats just a guess. Your more likely to be found driving an exotic car like a ferrari than a non-descript Nissan.
Again who wants to admit to the cops you own a 50grand nissan Grin

ok..just a few figures..
ferrari 360   0-60 = 4.5 seconds
evo mr fq-400  0-60=3.5 seconds

ferrari 360   400 bhp, 275 ib ft torque
evo mr fq-400   405 bhp, 351 ib ft torque

guess which one costs half the price of the other....?  Wink

Guess which one is made by possibly the most famous and recognisable manufacturers of super cars and which is made by a Japanise company selling stupid cars to stupid youths. Tongue Grin

Yes, I'd rather own a Ferarri over an Evo. Tongue

Now there's a damn fine point. If you wanna go smoke some Porche on the cheap then why not buy an Ariel Atom. Grin

Cheaper than both the Skyline and the Evo too. Grin

i doubt that, i would say a ferrari would be the target of more car jackings than a skyline

The Skyline is one cooool car - apart from the Nissan badge. I think it used to have the record for the fastest production car around the Nurburgring at one time.

Unfortunately at the moment I see loads of them around these days & although some are really nice ones around, there are some really shabby 'used' one's being imported aswell.

Here's a cool one I saw today:
