Skyline R-33 VSpec or M3 or Audi S4?

If you had the opportunity, then which would you get? I would get the skyline. Here are the specs:

Weight 3395 lbs
Horsepower 276 bhp @ 6800 rpm
Torque 271 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm
Acceleration
0-40 mph 2.7
0-60 mph 5.3
0-80 mph 9.1
0-100 mph 12.9
0-1320 ft (1/4 mile) 14.0 @ 104 mph



I didn't put down the r34 because it's 100k and well i don't think anybody on this board could afford one so......

I would get a skyline just cause not many people have it yet, same reason why i got a CL. M3s and S4s are everywhere. Oh by the way, i've seen at least 10 new MB SL600/500 on the road already.

plus, skylines can be easily modified.

stock, R32's are in the m3 territory in speed. 4.6s 0-60. However, the body styling leaves alot to be desired.

I dunno - there are not THAT many new E46 (new) M3's and they are awesome looking I think. I might have to be different and go German with the M3

twin turbo DOCH straight 6
AWD
comes with a carbon fiber hood from the factory
and seats four people also.
sounds like a winner to me

it's a whole bunch under 100k, but it is not in the us, and the steering wheel is on the wrong side. dont get me wrong, i could live with it.

it's my favorite car.

I'd take the R33 GTR...like the R34 better though.

I'd take the Evolution VII over all of these though

M3 ALL THE WAY...


I agree...the numbers and everything else about the Skyline are desireable attributes to a sports car..
But this is the king of sport luxury! not another car on the road that can touch this car in my eyes!!!

Definitely an M3. I drove my friends E46 323 and think that BMWs have their own character. I will definitely own a BMW later in life.

that m3 isn't available to the public hehe M3's are nice cars but shit if i had the money i would be the gtr r34 vspec any day of the week. It'd be a toss up between the carrera gt2 and r34 vspec. I would probably buy the gtr because of the front mounted engine. I don't want any part of a rear mount on the east coast.

Not that low. In Japan a brand new R34 GT-R V-spec II can be bought for low 40s.

haha i like the plates on the supra, "not auto". The skyline looks, well, worst then our CL. Our CL looks meaner than that i think.

The R34 looks alot better, but you have to admit...AWD and 1000+hp is bad!

Agreed, the body lines on the supra are more flowing but the skyline has body lines like bmw's. Not exactly flashy as the supra but still very nice.

Nah, have you seen the inside of the skyline? The vitals are displayed on a digital screen!

BEHOLD!



Interior
The R34 features a 5.8" liquid crystal multi-function display at the top of the center console.Seven items are presented in 3 modes. The select menu features in-depth information on the boost, oil temp, front torque, voltage, throttle, injectors, exhaust temperature, and intercooler temperature.
The next mode gives figures on the red zone of the gauge scales, how regularly and how hard you're pushing the vehicle. This can be reset at any stage to allow for online information to be monitored. The final mode, gives the driver an indication of exactly where the vehicle is in the gear ration, and advises the driver of the optimum time to shift up or down.

The gauge dispay has the tachometer postioned on the left hand side for instant and easy recognition of important RPM and vehicle speed information.
Once again Monoform bucket sets have been attributed to the interior, but this time the seats have been specicifacly designed for the GT-R. They feature a large shoulder and side support to provide greater lateral support. An anti-theft immobiliser has also been installed, this sytem matches the the internal code to the key code before the vehicle can even be started.

Well the Skyline would def. beat the M3. Although I would choose the Skyline engine and AWD with the LCD in the body of the M3...tight!!! BTW why isn't that M3 available to the public, it looks like just any of the new M3's?
