who would trade

i've been looking at alot of skylines and stuff, and was just thinking to myself, if any of you with vr-4's (sorry base and SL's) could trade in ur vr-4's for a skyline r34 GT-r, would you do it. im just wondering what i would do, i love my vr-4, but for a skyline, i think i would trade it, even if it was slower, i just think that the skyline is an awwwwsome machine.

but vr-4's r still the best cars...

no i wouldn't for the simple fact the vr4 looks better, and is plenty fast for me

The only way I would trade for it is if I wasnt ever planning on modding or racing the car. It looks nice but the 1-2 shift would be kinda akward being RHD. And any performance parts would be damn expencive since they would all have to be imported. Ill take my VR4 thank you very much. I get enough "what is that" with this thing.

the Mitsubishi GTO MR beat the Skyline in every category in Japan, hands down, i'd take a VR-4 any day over a skyline. If i wanted a very fast sedan, i'd go for one of those v12 twin turbo mercedes.

well thats not a fair comparison really. you are comparing the Mitsubishi Racing GTO against a standard R34 GTR. a better comparison would be to compare the Vspec GTR or the N1 GTR against the MR GTO.

The R34 wins hands down in handling and in tweekability. and there is every chance that it is more reliable too. as for speed... im not too sure on that... But lets look at it logically. if the MR GTO was better then all of the Japanese workshops would probably be using them instead of Skylines.

that being said, ive heard that a MR can run a 12.5 as stock but i have no evidence to prove or disprove that theory.

I know I am one of the few out there - but I think the Skyline looks like shit. Its styling is bland and unimaginative. I've seen better lines on a Yugo :disappoin.

Needless to say, I wouldn't trade a VR4 for such a putrid looking car. I don't care how much faster it might be. If speed were the only issue then I probably would have gotten a RT/10 instead of the VR4.

lol, and if money were not an option. And I wanted a insanely fast car with great looks, I would give McLaren a buzz.....F1....omg (needs to check pants)

Ummmm, but I want to keep my VR-4 between the skyline, it looks boxy and almost like they tried to rip off the corvette bubble lights in the back. And I dont understand why they are so much faster and modable than the VR-4, we almost have a liter more displacement! The only thing I can see is weight...But still, why cant fast VR-4's like Matt Monet's get heaviely modified skyline times.... Im a personal believe that more time and effort by like 100 fold has been put into Skyline, and no one has really ever taken a VR-4 all the way, but we are starting to get there. BUT HANDS DOWN! VR-4!!!!

I'm with Yogs, I don't really care for the skylines styling. I never really liked the whole hype over the car either, I'll stick with my vr4.

signal actaully has i beleive a couple gto's in there garage(i seen one of them it was a white 2nd gen). just not put out there like there skyline's

What I don't get is why don't they put the 3000gt in movies? Is it the fact that it was designed by a drug lord to be able to burn cops or is it just because they are not made anymore and those movies like Fast and the Furious are just there to sell cars???

Yep, 100%, I am with Yogs, the skyline is very unattractive and besides isn't the VR4 a bit more rare....*keeps hoping mitsubishi never brings back the 3000GT*

yeah they say in australia and of course japan the skyline is a dime a dozen, like seeing a mustang here in the states. the vr4 is a lot more rare in other places i beleive.

Well used Japanese cars are all a dime a dozen because of the nature of the Japanese car market and how finicky they are about cars (which is why they make such good ones :) ).

im with all you guys!! if i had a VR4 which hopefully in a couple of years after i get my SL i will get one, i dont think i would even think of trading it for a skyline. in my opinion skylines might be very fast but they're overrated. specially here in the states. they make it seem like the skyline is the fastest car in the world. its also very ugly looking and in looks could never be compared with a beatiful 3000gt.

hmm, interesting, i do love my vr-4, but i just think the skyline is a cool car, unlike yogs, i like the fact the the skyline is one of the fastest cars in the world, but still looks like a normal car...

its not one of the fastest cars in the world by a loooooong shot. maybe one of the fastest japanese cars but thats about it.

Not even close, doesnt even make the top 10...prolly not even top 25...Its quick, but should be by no means compared to an F1, S7, XJ220, F-40, F-50, Diablo, GT-2, GT-3, Vector M-12....ect.....

Not even close, doesnt even make the top 10...prolly not even top 25

hehehe, probably not cause then there's shelby cobra's, shelby series 1 ferrari f-355, srt-10 viper, Zonda c12, koeniggsegg c 8s, gallardo, mercialago....... woooo the list goes on for years

oh you have no idea......

not that im disagreeing what what has just been said, but you cant really compare a skyline with shelby cobra's, shelby series 1 ferrari f-355, srt-10 viper, Zonda c12, koeniggsegg c 8s, gallardo, mercialago... they are even in the same league and definately not in the same price range. as grunge said "Its quick, but should be by no means compared " it like comparing a civic with the skyline. its just not a reasonable comparison to make.

if someone was considering whether or not to buy a skyline they wouldnt be thinking, "hmmmm i could get a skyline.... or i could go out and get the latest GT3 porche"

the skyline isnt one of the fastest cars in the world and it makes no claim that it is.but for what it does and for how much it costs, it does it obscenly well.

voung VR4 "maybe one of the fastest japanese cars but thats about it. "

and thats what it was being compared as. GTO vs R34 GTR. and as far as that goes. it is faster and handles better.

GTO (normal not MR):
206kw
426Nm
1680kg

R34 GTR (normal not vspec)
206kw
392Nm
1540kg

plus that the GTR has alot more options when modding due to the popularity of it.

as for the looks. thats a personal thing. everyone has a different opinion on that and they are entitled to it. I think the R34 looks quite nice. the GT-T better than the GTR but i do think that the GTO looks much nicer. THe skyline has more of a sporty look where the GTO has a much more refined and classy look to it.

well anyway. just my 2 cents :D

i agree. i wasn't comaparing the skyline with those cars i was commenting on him saying it was one of the fastest cars in the world, which is why me and grungeholic said what we said. the skyline is a awsome machine, no doubt about that, and is one of the best japanese cars next to the tommy kaira.

What I don't get is why don't they put the 3000gt in movies? Is it the fact that it was designed by a drug lord to be able to burn cops or is it just because they are not made anymore and those movies like Fast and the Furious are just there to sell cars???

there is a 3000gt in fast and the furious, its in that short movie that connects the first and the second, its a first gen i think, with some body kit, and a 99' spoiler on the back, the cops find it at that hotel, so he abandans it.
