I hate to inform people this, but the Skyline has always been priced around the Corvette (if not higher). It is the japanese equivelent of a Corvette or Viper.

BAck in 1995, when the Skyline R33 GTR came out, it's MSRP was about $45k, but a 1995 Corvette started at $38k. They sold well then.

NIssan made it very clear last year that their 'target' (as fara as performance was concerned) was not the Corvette, but rather the 911. We shall see.
