The Skyline
Drew’s angry rant about why this the most over rated car in history
Aw yes the "skyline", the Godzilla of Japan, THE Japanese super car,
blah blah blah. The skyline
GTR r34 is regarded as the greatest Japanese car of all time, and is worshipped
and has a god like status. I once thought that the skyline was a great car beat
any car and was so amazing, because like if u like
change the turbos and do like all this stuff its like
really fast and like stuff. But then I look at the numbers, and realize the
skyline is just a trendy status symbol, like a Gucci suit that only 1 out of
ever 200 people will realize that u paid 5 times as much for. But to be
unbiased I’m just going look at the numbers. Numbers are not biased (if u
have any other sources feel free to tell me)

There you go rice bitches those are the numbers. What do you want more, do you want a z06 that beats the skyline in every way, and cost 40 grand less? Hmm 40 grand, you know costs around 40 grand, the 427 TT lingnifelter corvette upgrade which makes a Corvette run low 10's. How can u say a Skyline is a better car, I just don’t get it, are u blind or just to ignorant. I know what you are thinking u can upgrade it, but corvettes are just as easy a set of cams and a intake manifold (which I promise u would cost half as much as it would for a skyline) will get u 100-125hp and still be streetable. Hmm a 100+hp gain on a 400hp engine that would be like hmm 500hp, which if memory serves is the limit on the stock block Skyline. That isn’t the limit on a LS6 I can tell u that much.

There yet another car that the skyline beat, because skylines suck. 1/3 the money and beats in almost everyway but top speed, but top speed is for poser. Fuck posers haha.
Skylines suck hard, they get beat by everything. Okay I am leaving aside the whole thing
that skylines are supposed to run on crazy octane Japanese gas, and don’t
like the water down stuff the epa
makes us use, the hp figures on a skyline suck. I think people In Japan get fuggin wood when they go over 200hp..
don’t get me wrong if some one gave a r34 I
would be overjoyed, then sell it and buy a lingfelter.
