The Nissan Skyline-9th Best Sportscar Of Alltime

[Roy]

Far too many GTRs at Auto Salon these days for them to be realistically considered one of the top 10 sportscars

[funkymonkey]

haha, once P platers start owning a model, or if they get modified by rajab or those barbi guys, they should be gracefully withdrawn from supercar-dom.

another ibtl thread methinks

[32line]

Don't be quoting me about not appreciating. The time and cost of spent getting my car bare metal resprayed, all the mods etc are unrecoverable. you want to buy it? $70K - it's yours.

Bottom line - old technology, better cars now.

well no shit sherlock...a 2007 performance car VS a 1989 performance car in technology....geee, hmmmm, yeh i wonder which would have more advanced technology.

and i WILL quote u about 'not aprreciating', because i refuse to believ u truly appreciate the skyline. sounds like u wasted ur money resrpraying and modding ur gtr...u shoulda purchased a nice new car with all the fantastic new technology and safety features.

[Ronin 09]

ok mate, I can't help you understand.

[32line]

nah, its kool...i understand completely.

[ricsvtr]

Its built off a passenger car. How can it be a "supercar", which should have a bespoke platform?

The only true supercar made by a big Japanese car manufacturer is the NSX.

My biased opinion...hondas are gay....

[32line]

its a shame the NSX lacks supercar performance...

the nsx-S Zero and nsx-R are the exceptions...

LOL...nope. Still Hondas so still gay

Maybe if they had all that technology in an alloy bodied 4.5L V8 sports car...then it would be ok S2000 shoud at least have a 3l V6. Look at their F1 team and tell me they have a clue what they are doing

[Roy]

Actually, i think i will stop before getting banned or sacked from my job for wasting time...all because im bored. Interesting that the Skylien made the Top 10. I love mt Nissans but the ZED shoud have been on that list before the Skyline!

[funkymonkey]

you're just biased because the Z came with an RB20

[Ronin 09]

RB20s are shit too, Roy.

oh come off it Roy. With the exception of toyota, Honda was the force to be reckoned with in the late 80s and early 90s..

we both know producing an engine that goes like stink and a complete car that goes like stink are two VERY different things..

is it ok if the F1 boys start whoring the thread? :sorcerer:

[Roy]

Honda shoudl stick with building engines. That they can do. Running a GP team or building an exciting car???? Some Euro fella should tell Honda Execs that it needs to be at least 3.0L if its going to do anything in the streaight line department with all the weight they have to carry these days

Now Chev and the Corvette...yeh baby

[funkymonkey]

Now Chev and the Corvette...yeh baby

What a co-inkidence... next DECA then Brisby? I'll even let you hold an extra steering wheel in the passenger seat and pretend you were driving.

[Beer Baron]

why stop at 3litre? are you half a fag or something roy?

big block or not on the list I reckon.

[GTRgeoff]

Not a real survey. The great Aussie sportscar is missing. V8 ute with a massive gas guzzling DONK!!

Ooops, iron block so it can't make it.

Can't believe Marcus is on the rags. Mr Nice usually. The GTR must getting to him........

now where exactly do you draw the line between super car, sports car and MUSCLE car..??

[GTRgeoff]

It's even a hatchback....

[Roy]

now where exactly do you draw the line between super car, sports car and MUSCLE car..?? :unsure:

Meh, today the line is right here. Tomorrow over there, somewhre else another day

But sports car is built on its own platform and is built to go fast.

Supercar is built on a stand alone platform with lots of exotic materials and engineering ensuring that performance isnt compromised by silly stuff like grouns clearance, visibility or price.

Muscle cars and performance cars are things garnished from mass built ho hum cars and tweaked to get the shoppign done in a god awful hurry.

And if anyone bags the RB20, i will mince them up and use their refuse as egine oil.
