Prepubescent? How about all the people anywhere from 12-90 years old that get twice as excited about a '69 Camaro or a '53 Corvette? A Civic Si could take them both. 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.
