if you get the skyline it'll attract more attention, good for the shop

but you'll probably get a different kind of attention with the chaser

Id have to agree with him on that, only because it would grab alot of attention.

I would probably say chaser. BUT, people that are just getting into the scene don't know squat, and won't recognize a chaser.

Id say an early model gtr is inexpensive and is widely recognized ever since fnf. I really don't think the skyline is common, just famously hyped b/c of the movies and shit.

How many skylines do you people see on your way to work??

You could even get a cheap ass gt-s, and it will still get you the same recognition, not many people know the differences anyway.

well the car will be a test bed on alot of what we wanna do.
Even if we wont be getting any of the same type of car in the shop. So I know we wont get customers based on these 2 types of cars but its nice to have something different that sets us apart from the rest.
Our main focus is on Datsun Z's, 240sx's, watercooled VW's and MR2's.
BUT my main goal is to provide any engine swap you want in any car.... you want a LS7 in your spitfire.... YOU GOT IT!

Neither car is gonna stay stock also, both will be 700+whp cars with alot of detail work done to them.

Depending on the year chaser you are looking at, I would go with the chaser. But only if it's a newer one.

The older ones are cool and all, but you can just take a cressida and do an engine swap and have basically a LHD chaser.

The newer ones however, are extremely bad-ass.



Other than that, go with the skyline. They are cool, and even though everyone hates on the popularity of them, it's cause they can't afford one.
