For those who do not know the exact performance of the previous-generation Skyline GTR (R-34)... think of the R-34, in AH terms, as the N1K2-J. Reasonably fast with very forgiving flight dynamics. R-36 will have more power and the same dynamics as the R-34.

And yes, this ain't some poorman's souped-up 350z. I can tell most people here won't pay $60K for a Nissan, but $60K for a Porsche Turbo/GT-3-beating Nissan sounds like the deal of the century:aok

I'll give it a 7... its lost its originallity, looks too much like the G37 coupe. I'd take the old body over the new body.

I'll believe that when I see it. I agree with VWE the older models were mucho sexy.

For $60K, I'd buy a Benz.

I'd give it 8 on looks. I don't think the picture at the top of this thread does it justice. However, I haven't seen the interior, but that always makes my mind up about a car I'd buy.

Much prefer the new EVO X.

I'm with you OOZ the R390 GT1 road car has to be one of the sexiest autos ever built.

I prefer Sleeper Cars myself. You don't get pulled over as much compared to the sportier looking cars. Plus you don't get people pulling up next to you at stop lights tempting you to a race, even though you'd have a good chance a beating them if you so desired.

That car is nice looking though.

I don't seem to see many sleepers around these days. Now days it's kinda the opposite, throw a bunch of stickerchargers and a ridiculos wing on your moms stock Civic and you and your boys can brag about how "tight that **** iz yo!". Maybe I should try and find a smashed up Terminator and throw the drive train in a Pinto or Mustang II.

I'll give it a 10 on performance and mechanics, and a 6 on looks. The front is too ricerboy from the factory, and the headlights look like they're from a cadillac or dodge because of the flat front appearance. Make it more restrained (like the original euro GTRs I saw all over the place in the UK) and let the aftermarket take care of spicing them up for those who like that sort of thing.

I will be in need of a new car in a couple of years and have narrowed my desired purchase down to a new vette. This was the one import that might have made me change my mind, but I hate the "fast and really quite furious!!!11one" look, and I hate the "I'm a gangster!!!!11one" look even more.

I'd be the one guy taking it to an aftermarket mod shop to put stock 350z panels on to replace all the goofy bodywork.

Looking at more pics, I'll bump the looks score to 8... But the flat-ish front still looks like a caddy or chrysler 300C and the side windows definately look pseudo-gangsta like the dodge and chryslers on the road today.

I like to see out of my car. The vette... now I think that looks cool. Always have.
