Where did you get this number from??? Every car magazine I have rates it at 13.5 and Ive seen reports lower than that. I would still take the R34 though It has way more potential and its just a way cooler car but for the most bang for your buck the Evo is a better value. If nissan brought the skyline here and we didn't have to pay all the import fees and modification stuff to make it legal then... would be much closer value wise

money aside..how many of you would tune the skyline to 1000hp? I bet you the majority of you would have a 11/12 second car....just like many on here have with an evo. Id take both.

It's like trying to choose between two pretty ladies...hee hee ... thats why I had to get both. There's no real comparing these two cars. They were built for different things and both have thier good and bad points. They almost compliment one another in a way, if these two cars could be combined, that be ... no words for it ... just wow.

comparin props i take skyline but if i dont want so much flasshy and want somthing easy to make fast in the STATES then evo. i dont think Buschur, AMS, Quantum, RNR, ATP, n all those guys are gonna be able to just take your Skyline for a week and give it back with twice as much hp it will take months to order all the ****, although it would be nice to have just because they are more rare than ferraris n ****. but not a car to buy and tune in US, i wanted one for a while and now im changeing my mind but dont give me wrong if the parts and tuners were here i would take a skyline! but theres just no resources for them here.

I would take the GTR for several reasons
1) its not nearly as common
2) NA engine has more whp than turboed Evo
3) It looks more like a sports car
4) AWD and AWS + traction control
5) Better interior
6) Has the ability to be modded to 1000+ whp (if you have really deep pockets)
