R32 Skyline GT-R or RX-7 TurboII???
personally i would get the skyline. Specially R32 GTR, my dream car. rb26 can handle up to 1000 on stock internals, try that with a 7
RB26 also is very easy to upgrade. Theyare also more reliable than our cars by far. ATESSA is also alot better for the snow, specially in canada.

I would rather have an RX-7, personally. I like how the Skyline looks, but it just doesn't do it for me. Its like the Evo, it looks good but its basically a standard sedan on steroids. I could care less about about turning heads, so thats not a reason I would buy a Skyline. In fact, I like blending in. As far as performance, give me an FC any day. I like fast acceleration, but my car is plenty fast for me. I want handling, and thats something that an RX-7 will beat the skyline at any day of the week, especially with an aftermarket suspention setup. Skylines are just too heavy and bulky. The other thing I don't like is all the "drivers aides" like traction control and 4WD that senses any wheelspin and attempts to eleminate all of it. That takes away half the fun of driving. I like my car exactly like my FC: A bare bones, no-frills sports car with nothing to add weight that isn't neccesary. For the price of even an R32, which is what I would get anyway, I could get my mechanic's pristine FD with a custom built 20b single turbo swap, and then that would totally eleminate any performance advantage the Skyline had.

I take it you are looking at skylines because they will be legal to import and register in august?
Personally I would probably take the skyline. The AWD platform gives it a huge bonus considering the winters here suck. Plus they came with what, 280hp? (correct me if Im wrong
). Given its motor, I would imagine you could boost power into the low-mid 300s with little effort.Overall weight isnt a huge turn off for me. They are pretty porky cars, but so are f-bodies and corvettes. All three of those cars have the power to back up the weight and its not like this is would be a pure race car.
Where are you planning on getting the car? Import concern (nevermind just read the rest of the thread)? They have a nice pretty tempting white GTX listed on their auctions... but their prices are a bit skewed on cheaper cars. 50k yen = 5k canadian? Uhm, no thanks
What the...????? R32 GT-R is at least $30k from Motorex. It costs about $10k to legalize them through Motorex even if you can import one by yourself.

.. Also the R32 is a nice car, but i think the FC is a nicer looking car, lets face it it is a skyline though and they are rare and that just might be what makes them so appealing.Also why the eff arent you ever on msn anymore? lol
The GT-R all the way
1. Power (I have an NA RX-7)
2. Rarity (USA, everyone mentioned this)
3. BIG POINT : AWD (anywhere anytime is perfect driving)
4. I don't have one (I don't have a TII either but that's another story)

"lol, like comparing **** to chocolate....."
But nah, seriously i'd say it all depends on the application of the car.... but I gotta say that Skyline has a bit more of an advantage in my book..... tis just cool as hell (save for it's recent popularity in 2F2F).....
However, speaking on a fully cartoon influenced opinion, we all know what really beats out what when it comes down to it....
