There are probably a lot of ppl in this forum that would totally disagree with me and probably want to beat me for saying this, however, I still would rather have my Evo. What a car she is... I can't think of any other car that represents such a powerful bang for the buck. Don't get me wrong.... The Skyline is by far a very nasty piece of equiptment and she looks beautiful, but I wouldn't be able to convince myself to spend what I would for an evo on a skyline. They're not street-legal in the US (to the most extent), and with Mitsu's proven 4G63 engine and a not-too-far-behind AWD system (compared to the skyline of course), you could not convince me to buy one.
In a short bit, sorry, not trying to knowck one of the nastiest cars out there, but I think I would much rather have my evo with even $10,000 mods and me doing the labor. I'd have one hell of a nasty "street car". Just my $.02 though most of you prolly wont agree ith it..

I agree....the Evo has to be the best value for money performance-wise of ANYTHING. I think the Evo is gorgeous as well. Sure the Skyline may be better....but by how much? It wouldnt cost too much to make your evo pwn a Skyline would it? The Evo does EVERYTHING beautifully. I can't say I'm an expert on the skyline tho.....Originally Posted by CtSilver03Evo

there's a link to a fully legalized and HIGHLY modified R33 GTR here in a ohio for sale for much less than 105k. He overpaid but it's up to the buyer and how bad he wants it.

R34 cannot be legally registered with a license plate, especially in California. It can only be on a "show and display" status tag. Nobody has done the crash testing of (3) R34's in order for them to be legally driven on the streets. I am speaking about laws in California, not sure about other states.

True. Did anyone bother looking at the pictures on that other site? In every photo it is lacking a license plate. Looks questionable to me. That being said, how much of a rush would it be to open one of those storage containers off a ship and seeing a JDM Skyline or pre VII Evo? I mean I get excited when I get my car parts from UPS, a whole car must be rediculous..... Originally Posted by h22gordo

If he wants to spend the money... it's his money.
There are LEGAL registered R34s prowling the streets of the US.
...and this thread is moved to other cars.
