It's not just about what's got the quickest quarter mile time, let alone stock-for-stock. The Skyline is not only a modern-day icon, but there's much more to it than 0-60 and ETs. It's a deathly responsive track monster. How many cars come stock with ITBs? Don't forget the virtually lag-free sequential turbos, the most advanced AWD system Japan has seen, or the awesome Getrag 6speed in it. The Evo and STI are only faster before the first corner. Either way, not everyone is into just the fastest car out there.
as for the 53 vette....that's just a work of art, a piece of history....160hp 6 cylinder isn't gonna do much else
but yeah I understand it's pretty much the epitome of Japanese automotive techology, but 99% of the "omg skyrine" nut hangers don't know what makes
it's special, they just kinda jump on the bandwagon and like it because other
people like it.

Seriously though, comparing a '53 Corvette or a '69 Camaro to any modern car is wrong in and of itself. Both are historical classics that helped shape modern cars today. Without the balls-out of the 60's muscle, there would be no Skyrines.
