Hey, that was as good as it got in the early '80s in Japan. That was the best luxury sports car available then. Mine was actually the Paul Newman signature series. It was very high tech for over 20 years ago.

i hated the way the gtr35 concept looked. while im a huge fan of the older skyline, my fav being the r32, the gtr35 concept kinda grew on me. in the next couple of year when im looking at a new car to purchase, this will prob be what i will get. that, or the new rx-7 or maybe the new supra...who knows, they should all be sweet

I'm gonna have to go with freestyle on this one. Modern car designs don't impress me at all. Everything is getting so much bigger, even the sports cars. I parked next to a new Z the other day and it practically engulfed my FC. And then look at the G35. 20 in wheels?! Thats outta control. SCC did an article about wheel size stating that you go faster on smaller wheels. 20 in is for style, 15s are for drifters. Even the EVO VIII looks pretty big. That's just my dual lincons.

anyone see the crossfire....i had the luck of going to test drive it...my friend and i were driving down the raod one day in NJ and saw like 15 crossfires driving, so we pulled upto one at a light and asked the guy wats going on - theyre having a nationwide test drive thing and people can test drive them. so they told us to follow them to the place thy had setup with events and **** about the crossfire and then they let us test drive it



it sucked



it was auto and slow, but my major gripe was its ******* UGLY!!!!! ill try and get pics up later but the **** is the worst ever

skylines are beautiful, i like te fact that they arent curvy they are one of the cars that can pull it off. the way they style the car gives it that strong sturdy stance but AWD will help it out handeling wise



anyway a v8 turbocharged motor that sounds interesting im looking foward to seeing what parts theyre gonna be coming up with.



and mike when did u testdrive the crossfire? hehe u shoula drifted the biatch
