Close buddy got a... a.... SKYLINE?!

A good buddy of mine who tunes cars, has been telling all of us that he has a car in the works. We always complain about him giving up his 350Z for a beater. But oh man, Yesterday he shows up with a Nissan Skyline right from Japan. Right hand drive and everything. On top of that, he's pushing close 700hp to the wheels. The car literally launches you to your seat at 3k rpms. It's twin turbo, blah blah i dono but the car is sweeeeeeeet. No camera but buddy took a pic to put on his forums lol.

thats awesome, a lot of money to make it legal here though. Don't know him personally, but there is a guy with a yellow skyline in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Those things are awesome in person and I bet your friend's looks far better then the one around here, that blue is hot.

if i wanted a skyline i would have bought a skyline. Even if i had both cars, my rx8 would still sit pretty in the garage and the skyline would be my daily driver..better mileage..LOL

Yeah he doesn't drive it everyday obviously, and he holds the car at his garage about 45 minutes away from me. We're gonna be hanging out tonight so I'm gonna ask for interior pictures, and the dyno he claims he has. He told 720hp to the wheels. Ouch I know.

He bought it from a dealer who imported it about 20 minutes from us. Had 60k miles, he got it for $42,500. Bone stock. Obviously new engine, no more back seats, and all this stuff. I'm not supposed to be saying this, but he shredded one of his friends 911 turbo. I wasnt there to witness, but I heard the 911 had absolutly NO chance from start to get go.

And if anyone is interested, that supra is all business too, He's pushing twin T88's from what I heard.
