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.A business term for stepping back from the details of a task or project, to brain storm or refresh your mind by taking a look at the big picture.
"Listen, we're running out of ideas here. I say we take things up to 10,000 feet and try blue skying for a bit. Who is our target demographic?"

Get the Skying 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.

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.
