Which would you rather have?
If you had the choice between these 2 brand new cars which would you choose an '03 NSX or an '03 GT-R?
I am not sure this one is a toss up... Handling(midengine) and style of NSX.
Or Handling(AWD) and Style and Mod ability of the Skyline?
Considering both are head turners and pretty rare which would you rather have? And if you picked a skyline would you have the steering wheel moved over to the left?

Definitely the Skyline. The NSX is a rare car, but not nearly as rare as the Skyline (in the USA), not to mention the Skyline is a sweet car, especially when its modded.
Especially a '03 GT-R Skyline.

Thats what would be sweet about driving a Skyline around here, most people know what it is and would flip out if they saw one around here, and it'd be awesome to have a right hand drive car in the us!

If you really want a GTR, why not wait for the next generation. I would worry about the aftersale service and repair and OEM parts since it is not carried into the U.S. by Nissan. Is Motorex responsible for it? Even so, it would not be convenient. Due to all these concerns, I would choose NSX. And for sure would not change the GTR to left hand steering, too much modification then it wouldn't be a new car anymore. Just my opinions.

I don't think the rednecks around here would know what a Skyline was, so I'd have to choose an NSX. 
Besides, I've always wanted one... underpowered and overpriced as it is.
'Course, I wouldn't kick either one outta bed for eatin' crackers.

Yeah I think I would have to get a R-34 V-spec w/ Blackbird kit.
For about $110k you get an R34 with 430 whp on 92 octane, 550whp if you put race gas in it. And you are talking about a car that run 4.7sec 0-60 and 12.7 1/4miles with the stock 280crank ponies and 293ft-lbs tq. It would be around 3.3-3.6 range 0-60 with the Blackbird mods, pretty sick, and they have a mod package for 700hp and still drivable....CRAZY!!!!!
What do you guys think of the Mosler Photon???
How sick is that car granted $210K is steep, but a car that pulls over 1g in a skid pad, 0-60 in under 3.5, and looks so hard.....
Oh I can DREAM....Too bad they won't take some Monopoly money, then I'd have some cool cars....

Revving at 9K...
motorex just makes them US legal... but not left hand drive... the way Skyline motor/tranny is setup, it will not be possible to convert from right to left.
I would go for Skyline R34 V-Spec II
