The skyline,I drivern a Turbo Skyline of that age..I know for a fact,If it can beat a Holden Commodore SS with 5.7ltr V8 LS1 with some basic mods,I chose the skyline over the corvette.I drivern both R31 turbo GTS and R32 GTS-T..Very quick in the right hands.

more economical and pratical?? are you serious??? The C5 Corvettes have great gas milge, i believe its 19/25 or even higher than that, also the corvette is easier to repair, and cheaper, and AWD can be a burdan on everyday use, and more expensive to repair. Also corvettes can be daily drivers.

LOL, great comeback blah.

and if the sun explode we are pretty much fucked too.
well, just to add on to the skyline's drivetrain, they use ATTESA E-TS .
Unlike many contemporary 4WD systems, it did not introduce the undesired understeer or corruption of steering feel. Instead, the GT-R cornered with RWD car's throttle adjustability and neutrality to inspire its driver.
