no one mentioned "the driver" as the key element ?
any car model can be altered to perform well in any form of racing under the right budget.some vehicles are easier than others.
there are many variations of the skyline and each are engineered and "priced" according to it's class.
did you know that nissan (nismo) is selling used skyines that have been restored with performance mods resembling their GT500 champion vehicles.
*remember also that the JGTC was created because of the skylines dominance in other race forums.
this "used~new" skyline ,although rare and expensive ,it's just an example of how Nissan focused and engineered a true superclass car.
did i mention it's the quickest production car ever ?500hp, 10 sec Z-tune R34.
American engineering could never be denied it's rightfull position as the pioneers and still cutting edge performance cars.like the skyline rare and expensive...
it's like the way you love your women....through your eyes ...
