roomate's getting a skyline gtr

[bell]

well it's looking that way anyway, he came across a killer deal and has been working on technicalities for a couple days (bank/ins/etc.), it sounds VERY promising...and pretty spooky at the same time. oh..and this one in particular is somewhere around 650hp he wants me to drive him around in my turbo dodge so he can learn to shift with his left hand.....i can see it now........clutch in........clutch out....uhhhohhh booooossssstttttttt...

correction on the hp..........it's been dyno'd at over 1000 but is currently at 850hp

AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, IIII LLLOOOOVVVVVEEEE SSSSKKKKYYYLLLINNNEESSS!!! Is it an R32, R33, or R34? Doesn't matter much, I'm jealous either way! Is he looking for a new friend by chance?

Whats so special about it?

[bell]

it's an r32


what's so special about it?!?!?!
the bias control for the differential and 250+hp for each wheel translates to STUPID FAST with enough grip to give the yellow bird a run for it's money AND it's VERY difficult to find them for sale in the states unless you have some serious bank.

Sounds good, but it looks ugly, IMO.

this is a machine where looks come secondary..........the right foot will explaine

Brian, that's a cool looking car. Awesome to drive, too...

There's literally thousands of them here in Australia. There's enormous import loopholes for Japanese performance cars and something like that could be yours here for approx US$17-18k. Believe it or not... Even with those mods! It's hard to find a standard car these days. They've all been modified along the way.

I have been for a ride in an R32 GTR V-Spec (which was an animal) and the guy paid roughly US$30k for it... it was 12 months old at the time.

we'll know friday if he's going to get it........
