slightly OT, but if I were to buy a car right now and was limited to 350, STI, and EVO, I would take 350 in a heartbeat just because I trust nissan more. WRXs have weak trannies and synchros between 1st and 2nd gears are known to fail - the future doesn't lok good either for these cars. If you thought the current WRX is somewhat ugly, then the new WRX will look hideous with it's ugly front grill. As for the Evo, I don't see it lasting for over 100k miles without some major repairs - how reliable can a mitsubishi motor be?

Was the G35 from Infinity or was it built by some guy?
It was obvoiusly someones car that they suped up, but what i'm saying is the engine was fit PERFECTLY into the engine bay, and it said SKYLINE across the top. However the outer shell was clearly an Infinity G35 coupe, there was NO difference as far as the body and lines were concerned. I'm trying to find pics of it now...

the new skylines are G35's in america. There is no such thing as a G35 in Japan. If and when they do bring the skyline to america it will be a G35 Skyline Edition

Is the new Skyline gonna be a 350 motor with a turbo or a totally diffrent motor with a turbo?
Either way, for 70gs is a skyline really gonna be worth it. A Corvette Z06 makes 500HP, 475 LB FT of torque and weights 3130lbs. The sticker price is like 65k or something like that.

Theres one with over 150k in my garge right now daily driven with over 400 HP to all 4 wheels. The new Evo IX with a mivec head looks very promising too. Theres already Evo 8s with over 80k miles still on stock clutches, and running perfect. Well, you know what happens when you ***-U-ME

If you have a 350Z your probably getting passed.

A skyline is a v6 too producing up to 450hp.

A skyline is a v6 too producing up to 450hp and I bet it will be more relaible.
