have to say i agree
while the scene between jap imports and v8 supercars couldnt be more polarised, i have to say that many folks with skylines have a healthy respect for what a high displacement v type engine can produce
while i love my gtr, i know its not the same as a countach engine, or a corvette engine, etc. its all about the aims and the application, and the more i learn about each the more i appreciate different philosophies....
would love it if a skyline had the instant torque a 7lt v8 had, but those 7lt v8's dont have the 'push me back into the seat' acceleration that a turbo does... - each to his/herself, i know where my love lies that said, i like engines tuned for response and streetability, because im no speed racer and dont delude myself otherwise - tho i wish i had the budget to pretend ;D
and id have to agree with ruby - regardless of the engineering specifications, it'd be a real rush to bear witness to any tight knit team do what they have trained to do, what they are best at... oh, but to be a fly on the wall...
