    Can't see the video at work, but the pictures are to die for.

    If I ever get super rich, I'm importing and right-hand-drive-converting an R32, R33, R34, and one of these.

    Skyline are easily my favorite car in the less than $500,000 range.

    The technology in that car is unbelievable. I was talking to a sales rep at Mossy Nissan and he said they had 7 coming in. All owners had to put a minimum of $10,000 down, non refundable and the car is delivered to their home. That car is insane.

    SURE, once I buy one for me, pay off my student loans, pay off my house and my truck, save some money in the 401K and my kids's college fund, then I will start saving for yours.

    I heard that you have to put $5,000 down in cash just to test drive it :(

    A $70,000 bargain.

    Early dyno tests are showing the car making a fair amount more hp than advertised. Nissan is sandbagging.
    Convert the fuel system to run E85, tweak the computer, put in a bigger intercooler, and enjoy your 600 hp Ferrari eater.

    Um... no.

    You'd need about 1700 hp for that.

    The car is kick ass!!! but don't have the $$$ to get one. Corvettes,vipers,Porsche, BMW M series, Mercedes AMG models all bow down to the king of the streets for now.. Heard Chevy is coming with a bad ass Corvette that will compete with the GTR and no I'm no talking about the ZO6.

    Per the link you just provided...

    This is clearly 7 minutes, 25 seconds to complete one lap of a (seemingly long) course. It has nothing to do with the 1/4 mile.

    Still would prefer a Skyline (R34 specifically).

    But this is pretty sweet. People gonna hop on this like they hopped on the Lexus IS-F. ;)
