god there is sooooooo much VN hate on this forum!
Yeah they can be a bloody hard car to drive to its limits (I used to own a modified SS), but trust me the Skyline was sooo much easier to drive after it, it takes real skill to throw a VN sideways and not hit things, even with an LSD and lowered suspension! That said there are a lot of horribly loud V6 ones around, but they do do mean skids for what they are, and kids love skids!
VL's are actually a worse handling car FYI, especially the Calais.
