New Skyline GT-R

[RatMotor]

As a general rule, I hate rice-burners, but the specs are pretty impressive:0-60 in 3.5 sec, quarter mile in 11.7 sec, 192mph top speed, >$80k. Dash is awful, but the engine looks nice. Still rather have a Viper or 'Vette SS for the $.

Those are some impressive factory numbers.

I'm not sure what the horsepower rating is, or how much boost they're making, but these things are gonna fly once some reputable tuners get a hold of them.

I've been waiting for a Skyline to come to America for 10 years..... It's been the Unicorn of Japanese performance cars....

Now that it's here, it's actually on it's way it'll be interesting to see what we actually get.

I surely wouldn't pay $80,000 for one.......

And while I'm at it, I thought that cars of this ilk weren't supposed to be called "ricer" or "rice burner" anyway. "Whaddup widdat....?"

i have a friend who imports them from japan well the older ones at least. they are amazing. the problem isnt so much buying it, the insurance is outragous. one was for a 53 year old doctor for a show car, he was paying 16k a year basic coverage

... he was paying 16k a year basic coverage

That's about what I'm paying on the truck. :dontknow:

Funny... I know where this pic of the blue one was taken and have been there numerous times. Save your money guys. There are many faster and cheaper cars than Skylines. I see them everyday over here and have seen them get spanked "badly" by hopped up 5.0 Rustangs and other speedy machines. Yes, I'm still around... just lurking

Hello to everyone.. yep, I'm back. Been busy restoring my 55 Chevy over here. Just about broke me of all my $$$ but now nearing completion. Thought I would chime in since I have been absent for so long. How's everyone doing? Haven't been able to keep up with all the happenings. Silverback still out there?

When I worked at Infiniti, there was rumor of a Skyline in our future. . .

To me, that looks like a souped up G.

I still dig it!
