Some of you guys have intersting perspectives. You may not like them, they arent Porsches, but they are very quick and effective. The Skyline has raced in touring cars series all over the world. In Australia in the early 90's they dominted Group A racing so completely that the were banned, the formula scrapped and now we have a v8 formula to keep the bogans happy.

I shall never forget Mark Skaiffe starting Fredd Gibson's Winfeild Skyline, (on the old SHORT front straight at Winton, you AUS guys) having qualified 10th due to an off, pulling onto the grass after the flag and out accelerating the feild to turn 1, pulling back on in 3rd. On slicks, from a standing start. He was pinged for it, but what an awesome display of grunt and grip.

They have an solid racing pedigree.
