Ferrari, no if ands or buts....

but you guys are forgettin that skyline has 2 rear seats that can sit two midgets (gettin then nothing) and it also has a decent size truck.

But the Ferarri has that patented V-8 snarl that NO other car company has. And with 400hp how can you say no? And on top of ALL that you get one of the BEST looking cars on the market, and you also get to say that you drive a Ferarri as opposed to a Nissan. And as for luggage sapce, and more seats.....who cares? If you can afford either one of these cars, i doubt that these will be your ONLY cars...

hahahha but he said overall, and no one every mentions practicallity. but yes the 360 is an extremely hot lookin ride, i've seen 4 already. too bad its not photogenic. i still would have a hard time chosin between this or the legendary gt-r though. you know? if your from the u.s. you would know why i would rahter chose the gt-r.

I think the skyline is better handling....probably more comfort....looks is your opinion....i dont know how fast the modena is so I cant compare it....

but these are 2 of my favorite cars, I imagine the nissan is more reliable also

well your comparing the slowest lauch times that i've seen for the R34. why not compare it to the more average numbers? like the upper 4's? some where inbetween 4.7 and 4.9. thats the average that i've been seein from alot of gt-r owners on this forum. plus why would the older R33 be faster at teh quarter then the newer faster R34 v-pec II? i've seen a lot best motoring videos where they drag stock R33 and it does 13 flat sometimes and the average would be 13.2. now compare that cheap turbo on the R33 to the dual ceramic turbo that the R34 has mated with the getrag 6 speed as to the older 5 speed, then you have a much faster car that is comparible to the 360. no joke. i've seen the video wheere they were doin comparo's stock for stock on best motoring. plus that was with a v-spec I and before tghe new and improved v-spec II came out. the drag results was only off by .2 secs. not too shabby for a nissan.

Well all these numbers/facts are off of Supercars.net.......
But the thing i think you're missing (as most people do) is that a car is not JUST about performence. Its the same reason why the 360 beats out the 911 turbo in tests, (it was either C&D or MT i dont remember) even though the ferarri is 40K more and the Turbo does beat (by the slightest margin) the 360 in most performence tests. Or why the BMW M3 always beats out the Vette Z06 in comparisons...sure the vette is a better performer, but i mean the interior is garbage. Anyways back to the point, Ferarri represents passion, and perfection. Just the fact the Modena creates a downforce with no visable wings is impressive enough for me, throw in that ferarri snarl, and the classic gated six. ANd there is no competition, throw on all the turbos, and computers youd like nothing beats the amazing feat of true craftsmenship and engineering. Dont get me wrong i love the GT-R its just no Ferarri. If it was up against a Z06 or Viper, sure......but not a Ferarri. No.
