honestly, i was gonna say the Skyline, cuz i love 'em, but, i didnt wanna get jumped by everybody.......but, i agree w/ D.......again. imports/ricers(honda, acura, neons, etc) will always be remember as economy cars. full street cars anyway, unless its a Mitsu GSX/3000GT VR-4 thats pushing over 800hp or something....but, V8's "own" the American Heritage of speed/hp/torque, etc, etc

Not true about the course racing thing.
Can't remember who exactly posted it, but it was in the Off Topic section of this V6 stang beating on ferrari's and crap.
I think it was a Kenny Brown car or something like that.

well I have to admit...american cars will always reign in the 1/4....but what about rally or course driving....a skyline will OWN any american car in a course........and no american muscle will touch an evo/sti in a rally....so to each their own....
Silly I tell you. Ever heard of a Ford GT? ZO6 Corvette? Hell, 3rd gen Camaros?
There's plenty of 4WD trucks with turbo's that'll run the **** outta those cars in the dirt....

Oh also, I just came home from running a quick errand, and on the other side of the road was a '67 or '68 GT 500, not sure if it was authentic or a clone, but it was definately restored and packin' a big block cobra jet with nasty cams and had a sound to melt for. I bet he hates imports too :)

i love the ford gt's....B-E-A-U-TIFUL cars !!!(imo). and yeah, torque is what gets you there. hp just keeps you there. but why is it, most of the time(say with a 5.0), factory: 225hp/300 lbs/ft, that when you do mods, the hp usually goes up more than the torque. just the way parts are made and designed, or, how does that work ?? i wish i could drive a skyline. itd be wierd tho !! right hand drive. that take some gettin used to racing. i mean, yeah, ive shifted w/ my left hand for mom n dad when i was younger and they were doing something, but, racing w/ my left hand.........idk about that. id probably f**k up A LOT !!!!! oh well. its a skyline. if i lose, i still look better than most of the cars on the road. well, maybe not most, but a A LOT of them

i'm suprised no one started some sh*t about me asking if anyone has driven a Skyline.i have not driven a JDM skyline. however, there is a guy named Cameron Amherst who used to live in georgia who built a G35 coupe into an R35. i drove that. it had the attessa and super hicas systems and about 350 whp. that thing was fast. i'm talking mid 12s. and he built it to spec on the model coming in 06.

why u surprised about that ?? people should know not to f**k with a skyline. therye bad-ass. so what if its Japanese. BIG WHOOP. AWD, inline 6, 6-spd, @ 280hp from factory. sheeit. theyre fast from factory. the awd helps out a LOT. now, non-gt-r's, they have traction problems, but, gt-r's, out the hole, you can kiss your ass goodbye unless you jump, or they cant drive and dont kno how to launch an awd car.......built on the model of what ?? the Skyline ?? i thought it was supposed to be '07 ?? thats what i read in one of my import mags.....think it was Super Street. oh well. either way, were supposed to be gettin them when they come out. but, theyll probably deny us that too....deny us everything else good. THE BASTARDS !!

if my sister had a dick she'd be my brother. shut up with your stupid hypothetical **** bench racing.
and just a fyi, all wheel drive can slob on my knob. it's just for people who can't launch. they waste way too much power.

I hate friggin imports!!! I do like the fact that Dodge made a import killer at a good price. I however would never own a car like that. Sorry but i want something that everyone is forgetting about TORQUE!!!!!!! Your SRT4 might be fast as hell when you tach it up and run the snot out of it but what is it like around town to drive. Just cruising at low speeds can you give it like 1/8 throttle and feel that twinge in your back from the torque pushing you back....i doubt it. I currently am looking for a stang to play with.....I have a 66 corvette and an 87 Turbo T. The turbo T is faster it will turn mid 12's to the Vette's who knows....mid 13's i'm guessing(never had the heart to beat on her for that long a distance lol) Point is though the Vette is so much more fun to drive. The power is right there all the time!!! Step on it a little bit and your gone....Buick you have to wait for the boost then it moves...plus if its a hot and humid day forget it the Vette will take it then.....In summary the little Neon is a cool car but the old statement i think still rings true....."There is no replacement fo displacement"
mood.
