Default Whats your take on the R34 Skyline GT-R?

What do u guys think about the R34 SKyline GT-R???
Honestly, think its number one out of all the cars coming out of Japan for a number of reasons.
1) 4WD
2) Aftermarket availability is fairly large
3) Rarity
4) Look decent

however!!!
Ive seen some EVOs spring up on the HP numbers enough to compete Supras and Skyilnes but with alot less weight. Back to the subject, what are your pros and cons on the Skyline?

Well the pros.... the absolutely amazing potential of the engines and the total drivetrain itself. The functionality, the technology, the user communication with all its digital readouts and guages. Its not made of cheap every day jap interior plastic. Its confortable and very easy to drive. Not to mention its easy to modify. Also a dissengageable front diff... so you can have instant RWD.

The cons include a 10-90 AWD setup... although this can easily be changed. It is not sold in the US thanks to your pain in the *** government... although this is no fault of the cars. Its really expensive in general ... and even more expensive to get in the US. I cant really think of anythnig else that i dont like about it...

I probly have missed alot but.... thats all i can think of off the top of my head

I really dissagree with you there dude. Although the car is not a supercar it is deffenatly not over rated because the chassis can handle astronomical amounts of power and still be very able to drive. The technology is amazing
