(R34's are illegal here)
Canada allows the other year cars but not the R34 as i think that one looks the best.

The porsch is over 100K right? the Skyline is going for like 70K or that is what the rumor is anyways as I do not think they have annouced the price yet.

If money was not an option I would keep my stang as my fun car and have a skyline for a winter beater AWD means it will go through the snow good right

Actually I saw a program that said the Goverment of Japan set this HP restriction so the reality is these cars have been putting out more HP

the new GTR has a cold weather option as well, it comes with winter tires and light gray colored wheels that are better for the salts and crap. but as for the price i think the MSRP is somewhere between 70k-80k but right now i dont think one place is selling them at msrp. more like 5k-20k over msrp, a couple guys in the GTR forums are just getting their cars that they ordered in feb and march.
