My friend calls me and say you have to come to Timmies and look in the parking lot... I was planing on hitting the meet spot any how so I cruised on over and what did I see?
his new car..
a White 92 Sky Line GTR... I don't care what any one has said about them not being all that Impressive.. Until you've rode in one with some one who knows how to drive your opinion is skewed... Because it was amazing! I too was always skeptical of it's "aw inspiring performance" but Wholly crap that thing must have been an super car in 92 because it still is now!
the acceleration in this thing snapped me back from not to 200k in a shorter time than I was comfortable with and the breaking just about slammed your head of the dash if you wanted... the seats were as good as any sparco or recaro seat if not much better and it just screemed exotic ,,, the only thing that reminded me it was a 92 was the sound of the clutch fan..
I could List my mods.. my times and even my future mods here.. but there the same as yours.. with a little less conversation and a lot more action!

if your impressed with that then you'd be suprised how they opt out the name brands we know here with all the tech stuff & added features one normally wouldn't think of on a car.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

If it was not about RHD I would have one right tomorrow.
For less then $15K , getting a cool RWD car is a steal.
Saying that thinking you like to drive RWD cars...
For my taste and driving style RWD cars are way more fun to drive.
This is very personal tho..

Unless that mustang was AWD... then there's no comparison... becasue the GTR defiantly is...
point that sucks... theirs an axil going through the oil pan!
and as for ugly.. well I like a women with substance not just looks.. so I guess that translates to cars too.
and zX5... well it runs fine now.. a lil prob in the head... taken care of now...
