But yeah, more money and they're going to have to tangle with some nasty Porsches and the Viper. I think they need to try to Eclipse the power barrier of the 60k cars first.

ive seen a stock Z06 w/ slicks go high 10's


but the skyrine is in no way comparable to the zo6 or the viper, they arent even in the same class power wise or even looks for that matter

I think Japan (just like they do in their own country) are purposely leaving this car down on power. 10 psi is probably just waking up the engine. WIth a boost controller and bigger exhaust (not sure how big it is already) what makes you think this thing won't handle 20psi daily driven? That would put this car's power where? ~8ish +???? The looks of the car blow though IMO, but I say that about every new car that comes out. We'll get used to it.

Yup, I'm talkign factory stock with factory stock rubber, though. Slicks + Z06 = Deadhook and 10 second 1/4 passes.

I love the comments on the Up the boost and get exhaust etc... Any car can be fast if you mod it. And you don't have the argument of "Yeah but it will be cheaper", because it's 70k+ in the first place
