I love my v8 but today I went for a ride in a R32 skyline.
The only thing I know about this car is that then engine cost this guy $60k
and its silver.
With all four wheels spinning in 4th going slightly sideways 28psi on the gauge
All I could say was.....**** me!

Yeh... sounds familar, my brother who is a mechanic has been in a GTR that was doing 800hp ... he sed the acceleration at over two hundred clicks was faster than what my xr6 can do in first gear.. ouch!

Sounds fun. I'd still prefer a well modified RWD V8.

Would any performance cars really get used to tow boats - you dont see many FPVs or HSVs with towbars

For 60k i would expect it to lift the front wheels off the ground on take off

On the way home from calder my mates and I had some fun with a R33 GTR. It was so awesome, The guy driving was pretty cool too. He put on a nice show.
We would rev next to him and boot it in a VS SS lookalike. Our car would be flat to the floor doing about 120-130 the gtr would hang off until we were about 100m ahead then boot it and pass us like we were standing still.
It was so cool.
I want one.
