Default Newly Released NISMO Skyline Z-Tune

Any of you guys see this car? Just saw it in the new Sport Compact Car Issue. $150,000. 1/4 mile in 10 flat. Absolutely Sick!

If you read the article they are actually all used Skylines that Nissan bought to "recondition" into these "new" models. 150k for a used nissan is pretty steep, im sure they'll sell every one.

It is used but NISMO strips these cars down to the bare shell and then build them from the ground up. Just look at the parts used in the link. If you compare this car an its performance to a Lambo/Ferrari/McLaren, it seems to be more or less a bargain.

Yeah it is a high quality build, but it doesn't have the prestige that the Lambo/Ferrari have. There are plenty of cars that will go faster than a F430 or Galardo for a lot less money. Most people buy these cars for the experience/status symbol more so than outright performance numbers. Just my .02. However i do think the collectors and/or fans of the Skyline will no doubt buy these cars in a second.
