That's my favourite model of Skyline but £75K is taking the pi$$

Yuck. I've gotta admit, I'm not a fan for that sorta car!

1200bhp

Shandy Drinking Hairdresser's car.

For 75k I'd want the bonnet the same colour as the car.

Carbon does funny things to you.

I'm sorry ... but for£75k, thats just an ugly car. 1200bhp sounds wonderful, but ... traction? Never going to be able to use it ... especially in this country!

Gods ... I could have a collection of nice cars for that money. If only I had the money

Cheers

Saw this skyline do an 8.5 quarter mile...... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For £75,000, I'd rather build an Ultima with all the trimmings, to get a beautiful car that will out-perform just about everything on the road - maybe even get a few world records (as one has already).

I certainly wouldn't waste it on this tin box...

bloody awful.. oh, and quite slow!!

You'll get around 220mph top end out of that 1200bhp skyline. The 1000bhp skyline that Chris mentions is most likely the Top Secret one that was brought over here last year, 0-200 in under 20 seconds I think they've clocked it as doing topping out at just over 210!

Those times and speeds would be running at full pressure but for reliability it's just a case of taming down the boost and run 7 or 800bhp for the odd shopping trip!

So for £75,000 you're getting a car that can keep up with an Enzo effectively. The parts alone would come to near that for that car so it's worth the money if you've got that kinda cash burning a hole

You'd likely need an additional £75k a year to keep it running though!

A old school friend of mine had an 800bhp R34 road car as well as half ownership in a 1000bhp stripped out R32 drag car, and the cost to keep even the road car running was truly astronomical. The car was in bits at the tuners more than it was actually on the road, so much so that he's now got a RUF 911 Turbo and thats far more reliable and cheaper to run I believe!
