I wish I could "get stuck" with a car like that. Even though I would rather take an R32 GTR.

stock, it's supposed to be about...250ps (about 245 whp or so), but i dyno'd it at 242 ps, and i've got some work done to it. it's decently quick, but it can't even come close to my friend's 311 ps R32 GTR, or his wife's EVO 3 GSR. hell, i bet my friend's turbo mr2 could beat it, and he ran that sucker into a tree.

I never understood how Japanese car models overlapped each other so much....Say you went to a Nissan dealer in Japan, you wanted a FR 2+2, you have the Silvia, Skyline, and 300ZX to choose from. All are available as na boring grandma coupes, to badass turbo powered.

Was(and still is) there enough sales volume for all to sell decent? If not why did they keep selling them?





For instance, what was stopping somebody from looking past this R33 GTS-T and getting a Silvia? It looks about the same, probably faster, and would be in a different(cheaper) tax bracket. Strange.



Anyways, nice car.
