Exclamation Skyline In Las Vegas!

All I can say is OMG!!!............. The new Skyline looks just like the G35. But runs mid 11's to mid 12's!!!...

Yes I have seen the new Skyline. An it is good...

I went to the LVMS this pass weekend and there it was. The only thing that stoped it was a black NSX that was NOT stock running low 11's to mid 12's. They where off by 8_10's and a silver 911-GT3 was getting killed by the new Skyline and yea the NSX killed the GT3 too.
Wow of all the days I dont take ma camera to the track. There was a filme crew there.
Well I do have 6 pics of one new sky line from the LA IAS show.






I hope you guys can see them. If not let me.

im pretty sure the next 'skyline' is going to be different, i've seen the old concept pictures for the GT-R or R 35 spec or whatever they'll call it, but it certainly wasn't a G35 like this...im still excited

And that that is not a GTR.

jeez how many times does this need to be said? with the old skylines, the skyline was the base model and the top model everyone likes is the gtr. from now on nissan is making the skyline and gtr two different cars. our g35 coupe is the skyline in japan. that is what is pictured. the gtr is not out yet.

Yeah, that's not a GT-R. I've seen a picture of what the GT-R will resemble when it is released and it looks way better than the G35 coupe. Maybe I'll go find it and post the picture....

I know its not the GT-R model and the car in the 6 pictures is not stock. But a G35 with add-on's. I was at that IAS show.
The car at the LVMS was a new SKYLINE. There was a film crew at the track too so keep a eye out for videos.
How do I know its the new SKYLINE?. Well where the licence plate would go was a paper indicating where he bought the car. I did not see the car CO. Oh well. And I will post the pic of the GT-R.

Well, the Skyline you supposedly saw was not the G35 (aka Skyline) and it most definately wasn't stock whatever it was. My guess is that it was a modded R34 GTR. You can get those new from Motorex (www.skylinegtr.com) in California. All of our G35s (2 and 4 door) are called Skylines in Japan--there is no GTR version or turbo version of it out yet. There is no GTR out yet--and even if it was a test mule of an upcoming GTR you can gaurantee that Nissan would not have brought it out to a public racetrack without camoflouge.
