A decent AWD twin turbo sports coupe produced by Nissan which is not sold (unless imported) in the United States. The release of the Gran Turismo games and Fast and the Furious movies has given this car a mythical aura in the view of teenagers and young adults who are into the import scene. They view it as the end all be all of automotive technology, imbued with JDM sweetness by the hands of god himself, to which no other vehicle can compare. Of course, much of this is owed to the fact we don't get it here in the United States, if we did, it wouldn't be quite as cool.
Young Billy became quite distraught on the realization that there are indeed domestic cars that outperform the legendary Nissan Skyline.

Get the skyline mug.The king of the imports.
Here's why:
Fast
Looks amazing
very tough to customize to the point of rice.
Makes all Civic 'tuners' *cough*ricers*cough* with their 'mad tyte whips' shake in their shoes.
up until the current model, Skylines had to be grey-imported to the US and modified by Motorex to meet safety/emission standards. that company shut down when the head was indicted on kidnapping charges. any Skylines (Pre-R35) you see will be either kit cars or Motorex.
now the age old question.
WILL A SKYLINE BEAT A CORVETTE.
probably not. definately not in a straight drag race because, having FWD (or 4WD), they wont have as much momentum on the launch as the RWD Corvette.
also, the Vette probably handles/accelerates better. but until an expert compares them, we will never know.

Nissan Skyline GTR is an awesome car but the Vette is better, the Z06 is much better, and the ZR1 pwns all

Get the HR30 Skyline mug.The car with the most street credability of anything. Also, when modified, can pack over 1350bhp.
Widely accepted throughout the world to be possibly the best car ever, accept in america where the corvette wins on patriotic grounds.
The most up to date version is the
GTR R-35 Concept. Sweet looks and improved handling make it almost ultimate even before modifying. They have to change the front badge though.

That skyline in 2 fast 2 furios was shit! They should try getting more than a measly 750bhp outta that engine.

Get the HR30 Skyline mug.A Japanese supercar (cough) made by Nissan since the 50's (but only late 80's models and up are recognised) Just because they are in movies and in video games they are supposed to be fast. And to the ppl who think a Skyline can make over 280km/h unlimited, you stupid fucks better wake up and realise that your ricey skyline has ONLY 2.6 litres and ONLY 6 cylinders and 2 turbos , and that my holden torana SL/R 7400 has 7.4 litres and 8 cylinders. the engine is a 454 cubic inch chevy v8 engine, and fed by a carby. not fuel injection, none of that cock sucking bullshit. 2.6 litres is about 161 cubic inches so i would shut the fuck up rice boys, take ur plastic shit and go live in japan. From what I have worked out, stock a Nissan Skyline R34 twin turbo, without speed limiting, will make 247.3km/h. anymore than that, and you would blow that little engine, gearbox and drivetrain apart. my car makes 800hp from a stock 7.4 litre engine, urs makes 240 from a 2.6 litre engine, not bad considering the smallness of the engine but still shit.
my torana makes over 300km/h, and remember, 800 horses, so it shouldnt be a surprise!
CLASSIC NOT PLASTIC!!!

Get the skyline mug.a skyline could never "wax the shit" out of a corvette unless 1,000 hours of labor and $20,000 were dumped into every part of the car.
