Default Playin with a Skyline

I was driving down University in College Station and saw a Skyline. I just punched it for a second to see if I could get a reaction. He punched it for a second and that was it. It did not seem all that great to me. What would it take to beat one of these things?

I heard a turbo, barely. I know my Camaro would have eatin him alive if there was no traffic. I really did seem weak. I just hear some people rant and rave about them.

If you heard a turbo then I dont think that your 302rwhp camaro would "eat him alive". Thats just from what I have seen turbo ones do.

brandon if i am not mistaking it is a brueish collor correct. if it is i believe it is an acura or something with body work done. i have seen a car like this before and someone else said something about there being a skyline in town. i am prety sure it is not. i cant remember what model car it is but when they do some work on them they look like a sky line. but you never know could be.

a guy in phoenix here has a skyline(real one, not a kit) not sure if it is stock or not but this thing is quick as hell, I am tellin ya this thing MOVES!!

I beleive they are U.S. street legal (could be wrong) they are just not available in the U.S. as a production car.
