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.....

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

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.

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.
