Simply put when correctly modified, it is capable of going against high end Ferrari and/or Lambos. Some of its respected competitors in the Japaniese automotive industry are Mazda RX-7 and Toyota Supra.
The Nissan Skyline in 2 Fast 2 Furious is not a GT-R, that is because ALL GT-Rs are AWD, and with the one in the movie is RWD. I know that because once the race starts in the begening of the movie, the rear tires spin like crazy, while the front have no effect, they just roll.

technically goes under the cateogory of "school" this is because it's a lot shorter than saying..."playground for wealthy, self destructing adolescents"
person 1: what school you going to?

person 2. yeah, rich kids just run wild.

A japanese car that resmebles a line in the sky. Car company that manifactures this xiaomobile is probably from japan. Has been known to transport people from point A to point B. Contains up to or more than 3 gears. Capable of outrunning a pink s2000, a yellow supra, and a red rx7. Must be a middle aged undercover white cop that "lives life a 1/4 mile at a time" to purchase. Usually comes from the factory with four wheels. Unbelievable carry capacity for bright neons. Comes in a variety of color including: blue. what can i say? its a fast car when you hit teh NAWWWWWWWZZ

THE most over rated car ever. It comes stock with 276 horse power and people claim that it is a 'Supercar.' If not for Gran Turismo 3, and 2Fast 2Furious, people wouldn’t know what the fuck it was. A perfect example of Mainstream America embracing the Japanese and worshipping their works of 'art.' Much like the Supra, people think the Skyline will eat anything. That is BS. If you want to spend huge amounts of money, and make it have 8798 horsepower, fine. I can do the same with a Yugo. But stock for stock, the Skyline isn’t that fast. It’s that simple.

Leave it to the Japanese to name a car the 'Skyline.' Fags.
Ricer: Yo, my Skyline makes ALMOST 280 HP after I put the new muffler on it!!!1

Educated guy: Thats nice. My Cobra makes 390. Stock.
