i get ohh so very irritated at people dishing on Skyline GT-R's... these cars were mythical machines way before the PS2 generation came into play... Car and Driver- December 95- "the predecessor to this car (the R33) appeared in 1989, the year Nissan cooked up the first twin turbo and intercooled 4WD Skyline for Group A an Group N track racing. Enthusiasts around the world salivated over it's technology, as did we when we tested a GT-R that had been sneaked into the US and tweaked to about "350" hp. We called it "so good, it's scary"..." beter yet, CAR magazine (uk), July 2000, versus a Euro spec Audi RS4 Avant wagon- "The Japanese, masters of self-restraint, even have a 280bhp 'volentary' power limit. A very special 280 BHP, by the looks of it, because the 280bhp Skyline is marginally heavier than the RS4, and generates more drag. But its every bit as quick as the 380bhp Audi."... "What makes the skyline really special is the way it responds. This car translates driver inputs, one on one, without adding or altering, without delay or distortion, and without making decisions before they are due. The clutch is light and sharp and progressive. The six speed gearbox is a two finger affair that combines short throws with total precision. the brembo brakes are instant on, and they never seem to wilt, not even after 5 consecutive hot laps on the ring (the Nurburing). The throttle dives deep into the footwell and is a joy to modulate, with effort and response strinking a perfect balance. the steering is supprisingly light and always alive, supplying an blueprint of the road and the car's reaction to it. At 2.5 turns from lock to lock, it is also quick enough to give you a head start against the laws of physics".... yes this car certainly sounds overratted to me... To say that skylines are overrated because they have humble chassis beginnings, even with performance oriented models like the GT-S, is such a distortion to the actual picture of reality, its laughable... sixth gen 205's start out on the food chain being 7A-FE powered... S15's only have 164 hp in standard form. Mk IV supras- 220 hp... need I continue?
