has anyone seen a video for the new skyline 07. and how would it compare to the new toyota super car. i will try to post a pic soon as possible.

 

the new skyline seems very bulky to me...and i dont know that ive seen the new toyota supercar..do you mean the AWd supra?

 

yeah the new supra 07. You said it was bulky but i have read that it will be lighter then the 350Z and G coupe. i don't know but i have talk to people that work for nissan and they said that some of them are told that it going to be really hard to get because they want to make it like the older skyline series like the R34 or R33.

 

i didnt mean heavy by bulky...the lines of the car seem very boxy to me...

 

what do you think about the old skyline Patrick? and how would you compare the old version to new one. I thought it was a little bit boxy too. but it's still in concept stages so they should make the right changes. check this pic out.

i FAR prefer the R34 over that...i like the lines alon the sides, but i really dont like the front end..also, do you have any drive train info?

 

yeah i do. the suspension is being built by lotus that company's suppose to be the best suspension maker in the world. I have also read that a triple-plate wet clucth is going to be in it. but mate the best part are the GT racing 6 pistons brembo brakes and the 7 speed sequential shift transmission.

 

what are they using for an engine?

 

They are useing two type of engine first is the V6 with around 473 hp and there is the V8 edition with 520 horses. i have heard that the engine is suppose to give 19 mpg for city and 26 mpg for hwy. oh yeah they are still arguing about twin plate clucth or triple plate cuz i might bump the price they intial wanted to set for the car. but i don't care i have the money to get it and it's going to be cheaper than the porsche or nissan GTR R34. Nissan said it in their report that it will be around 65,000 to 70,000 dollars for the U.S market.

 

not waiting for the new supra?
