If it were so easy, you could easily open a dealership and sell a bunch of Skylines, yet skyline importers come and go, and very few illegal skylines actually make it here.
Another question...with sky-kits.com. How long till it delivered? I mean the picture is taken in Japan...the car has to be dis-assembled, shipped, and re-assembled. Do you feel comfortable buyng a $20k picture?

Get the Skyline... screw the vette. Many people can get a vette and a vette is nothing special anyways. I don't take any glances at vette's on the road. To me its just another American sports car. A Skyline though would make people turn there heads. It being rhd too will turn heads. You barely see these on the road. I've seen 2 on the road. Other then that rare and since its legal sure why not get it. I would if I had the oppurtunity.

keep the vette, parts are easier and cheaper to get and who knows how the skyline was put together, not worth the headache for some overhyped nissan, now if it were an enzo or something like that id be all for it......

his vette isn't normal, that rumble would turn my head, but the GTS would be nifty to have around here, whats the diff between that and the GT-R?
is the GTS not AWD?
i don't think parts would be too hard or expansive to get, you just can't get them immediately, but i don't know.
your call, def. more attention, but you'll get like 500% more ricers revving at you too

I don't know much about Skyrines but I know a little about Vettes and there is no way I'd sell it. Jeeze GM only made what, about 300,000 of them?

I'm not one of those people, but I can see where they're coming from
