Skins247 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 The Skyline in the pictures is at least 12-15 years old. It looks pretty damn good considering. The Skyline has gone through several drastic redesigns since then. I think you're comparing this car to 2007 models and that is just not fair. Performance wise, this car is pretty much one of the fastest cars on the road in Virginia. Show some respect. If the guy that owns that car drove up beside me at a stoplight I would laugh at him for driving such an ugly car. Point blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 At least Butz sees things clearly. It's junk. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against foreign cars. In fact, I own one. But that car is nothing. And, again, who really cares if it can go fast or not? How often are you really going to get it up to full song in this country without forfeiting your license? If its so fast then put in on a hauler and see what it can do vs the boys in Bristol this weekend. It's also atleast 13 years old. The early 90s and late 80s didn't exactly produce the prettiest looking cars... but all things considered... The R32 could do much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins247 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I can bet you $100 plus you would give it a second glance because a) you have probably never seen one in person or on the highway / road and because it isn't normal looking with the cars on the road today. Of course we are not in Germany, but have you forgotten about the Mid-West? They have miles and miles of straight aways for top end runs. Seriously, if I saw that thing on the road I would think its some idiot teenager driving a piece of crap, thinking he's somebody. Like the other poster said, that car looks like someone took an old Honda and tried to spice it up and it ended up looking ridiculous. As for , do you live in the midwest? If not, that car is pretty much useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins247 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah, I have found that out :laugh: You wouldn't give $500, you must be crazy. You could turn around and sell it for $60,000. Hell, if I didn't like the car (such as yourself) , but knew I could make that much money, i'd buy it to re-sell it. $60,000, for THAT car?! SURELY you're kidding!! It may have a ton of money invested in it (which is stupid) but there's no way in hell anyone in their right mind would give that much for that car. You're nuts if you think that.

Skins247 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 What cars are running at Bristol?Pure drag cars, or what? I've gone down there and have won dyno contest left and right against the morons that show up there. Please say it is a domestic weekend, I know a friend of mine who would love to race some:silly: Nah, man, I was talking about putting it up against the big boys in Nascar. They are in Bristol this weekend. I was being sarcastic. But I didn't know they raced cars like that at or around Bristol, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I am dead serious, and I am talking bone stock Skylines. That year would easily go for about $40,000, but now that you can no longer import them in the US due to MotoRex (company who use to import and leaglize them) was shut down, nobody else does it. Which means the oldest ones, and newest ones, are the only ones that will be in the U.S. untill the new one is released here, but that one will never compare to the older versions. Kind of like the newer camaros and mustangs don't compare to the older ones. Nah, man, I was talking about putting it up against the big boys in Nascar. They are in Bristol this weekend. I was being sarcastic. But I didn't know they raced cars like that at or around Bristol, though. I was talking about the drag strip, but yeah, Bristol has a strip, they aren't in the same location however, I think they're both a little bit down the road from eachother, I haven't been there for a couple of years now.

DoGood28 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 According to Skins247, he would drive a car with 2 horsepower as long as it looked like a Ferrari. Good luck getting out of the driveway with your piece of crap. You continue to show absolutely no intelligence when it comes to GOOD or HISTORIC cars like the Skyline. Just the fact that you have never heard of it and believe that attractiveness makes a good car tells me all I need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me where I ever said I would drive a car with 2 horsepower (which is ridiculous) And I never said looks were the end all. I was simply saying that car looks like a piece of crap. So no matter what it has under the hood it's still a piece of crap. I like cars with a combination of HP and looks. That car only has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill let you know what I do. i) click quote on the first person you want to quote ii) type your message iii) copy everything. iv) scroll to the next person you want to quote and click quote v) click enter above the quote of the second person a couple time, so there is a fair amount of space vi) paste vii) now respond to the second quote, and click post.

Someone that puts such little stock in a car's performance is completely perplexing. Automobiles are equal parts styling and performance IMO. You seem to be COMPLETELY discounting this car's performance in light of its supposed "ugliness". A term that I am sure you will find plenty of detractors of. To make a long story short, just because you don't think the car is attractive in no means qualifies it as a "piece of crap". I also don't think you realize that this car is at least 15 years old. Get some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could put a race engine in a Mazda 323 and it will STILL look like a piece of ****. Just because they put a hopped up engine in it, the car still looks like a BOX.

Blighty Skins Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The Skyline is a car which only looks good if you're under 25. Inside is tacky to say the least...they put a G-force digital thing to show how many lateral g-forces your pulling. :laugh: Talk about tack. It's all plasticy inside too...that car in Britain is selling for next to nothing, nobody wants it. Also, what's the point of souping a car up to 1000 hp when you can't use it? Pity the chasis, suspension, wheels, tyres, transmission, brakes were only built for sub 400 hp. Are you going to upgrade/soup up that too? Otherwise that car is going to drive really badly...and will just fall too pieces i.e. eternally fixing/working on it...but I suppose for some people it's a hobby. Nissan also doesn;y have much of a racing pedigree, you'll note. Though I respect anyone's taste in cars...if I think back at what I was lusting after when I was 19 or 20 I cringe at the thought. p.s I forgot to mention...your not going to get the most out of 1000 hp if something is shaped like a brick...and...I've been inside that car and the handles, switches and basically all the parts come out of a Nissan Prairie family car....because think about it...how many sports cars do Nissan make? Not many..hence no sporting division like BMW (M power) to make custom sports items for it's models. p.p.s Nismo doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
