For some reason I think the 6k RPM redline is a misprint. Especially if Cosworth is tuning it.

and Patrick go ahead and post up that link, Id definly read it.

ive done a comprehensive review of the history of the skyline, and in stock, or next to stock form, the skyline has been destroying cars in its racing classes for decades...it was only recently brought to the attention of the american public thanks to the games and movies...

if anyone is interested in reading it, i could post a link.

Now really would you think anyone would say no? please post and stop teasing us.

I didnt read all that but it probably mentions somewhere about when they put the Skyline in the Australian race series with all the V8 holdens it destroyed them. So much so that they changed the rules so 6 cylinder engines couldnt compete.

It's name is just too big to be compared among the ranks of sub-400hp cars.

only because the F & F crowd and the GT series on Playstation. The cars are ok dont get me wrong but even the R34 GTR was nothing more than a 3500lb 320hp at the crank car.

But at the same time, with the stock setup, you can up the boost and instantly grab another 100-150 whp with only minor work. It's that out of the box expandability that, IMHO, makes it such a special car.
