Saw a Skyline at lunch.

It was only an R32, and not a GTR (4whl drv) but it was still pretty nice. Just sitting up in the corner of the freddy's parking lot by sheri's.
There is just something about a 280hp (yeah right, more like 320 stock) twin turbo, inline 6 in a car the size of a honda prelude, that just seems like it would be a hell of alotta fun.
Of course the factory brembos and etc... wouldnt hurt either.

So if youre cruzing around Vancouver and get smoked by a little rice-rocket with right hand drive, dont feel bad, its a pretty rare car.

Was it dark metallic grey (almost black) with black wheels and a young guy with black hair driving? If so, then it's my buddy's friend Tyler. It's one of the only street legal Skylines in Oregon so I'm pretty sure that's what you saw. It isn't twin turbo, it is single turbo. It has an RB20DET motor (DET= Dual overhead cam, Electronic ignition, Turbo). It doesn't have Brembos either. The car is not that fast. It is a low 14 second car at best, and it's bone stock too by the way. Skyline's are not the lightest car around either. My friend installed the same motor in his 240SX (a much lighter car) and it ran a 14.9 (with traction problems though). Don't worry much about it. It looks sweet though and I would love to have it despite its performance shortcomings!! The GTR is a much faster and nice car though.

There was a 4wdr. one at PR a few weeks ago. It had some mods and ran 12.1 at 108. It was right hand drive as well.

Yeah, if I was going to spend the 30-40 grand on one (which I aint') I would get an R33 or newer, and it would have to be a GTR (v-spec with luck).

Low 14s is enough to take most stock mustangs (non-cobras), low 12s is deffinately much better.... It would be kinda like a supra with all wheel drive.
