Default An interesting hypothetical question concerning the Z and the Skyline....

Here it is... given the shots we've all seen of the new concept skyline, and the ones that have already been built (and that mostly reside in Japan)... what would you do if someone just gave you one? Say last year's Skyline GTR.... If one fell out of the sky (no pun intended) onto my driveway, I'd sell it, buy a Z, and put the difference towards buying a house. I'm not trolling for points, just seeing what you guys think - if it HAD to be another car I traded in the Skyline for, I think I'd rather have a Viper or a 911 or an NSX in that price range.... Thoughts, comments?

The Skyline is my dream car. I'd keep it forever.

I'd keep the skyline, put a few small mods into it, take it to shows, win every show, take all the money I win and put it towards a new house. :P

Default The Skyline is the King of imports!

It can be modded relatively cheaply to beat a Viper and NSX. Never would i trade it in for the above.

I think I'm going to agree with you on this one. You can get 60-80k for one of those over here and that's a good hunk of change. Not to mention you'll have to insure the car and I'm not sure on how much that would be for us college folk. I'd much rather spend 30-36k on a Z and have 40-50k left over to buy a new computer, and SAVE! GTR is a great car, but I don't need anything like that.
