Top Gear: 1000 Horsepower Nissan Skyline R33

Next question, why would someone spend a 150,000 pounds on that squeezebox??

I agree 1000%

Are you kidding me? 1000HP... READ THE NUMBERS people!
AWESOME CAR!

What numbers?

1k horses by stuffing an old tin box with a overpowered engine?

It took years for Bugatti to create a 1k machine that would prevent from melting.
The damn thing has 10 freakn' radiators.

This is not an egineering masterpeice, it's just another frankenstein creation doomed to fail or be forgotten by a tuner who wants to put out some kind of name for himself, like they all do.

As far as this overpriced taxicab, the fare is not worth 1/5 the price.

The answer's real simple:
Because that someone wants to.

That thing is faster than both of these cars you guys mention. Did you guys here what he said??
"The fastest car in England today."

Ford GT? omg, comparing this car to a FORD? lol

What's wrong with the Ford GT?

1000hp thats not even that much, today the streets are filled with supras and couple skylines with 1000hp+. there are even street supras with 1500hp.

I know that we have haters that will continue to hate. But the bottom line is that this engine is a V6 that has numerous possibility and when the next generation Godzilla motor is transplanted in the new GTR. It will have more hi-tech advances than any machine that is attached to four wheels.

Usually cars are designed to run 100,000 miles. Sure its sweet, but it is obviously can't use that power on a track, a drag racer at best.

If that car was a Bugatti with a Nissan body you guys would be saying "GREAT CAR!". Just because of it's name and the passion the import tuners have to modify their cars you look down on it. Face it guys, it's the truth.

Here is a real tunner car with a good price.

Hennessey SRT-10 Viper Venom 1000
0-60 time: 2.25 seconds
0-200 time: 19.5 seconds
Top speed: 250+
1000 hp @ 5000 rpm
1100 lb-ft torque @ 3800 rpm

Price: 180,000-225,000 dollors

TOO bad that Hennessey takes your Viper and your money, sells of parts from it, and delays it until you give up. And I doubt it's stable @ 250.

The 250mph is just a claim, they never tested it.

Skyline is a good performance car, no doubt about it. But unfortunately it is also ugly.

Ugly?!? You're trippin...dont fall.


G

what the skyline is not even close to ugly, i mean i love STI's, but a skyline is way nicer and eye catcher then the STI. these day the streets are filled with STI's. you would be lucky to see two skylines a year at least where i live.
