It says it has 52-48 weight distrobution. Its top of the line model says it puts out 268 hp and 260 lb ft of torque out of a VQ35DE (NEO). So I guess its just a nonturbo V6. It also has the exact same body as the Infiniti G35:(

Nissan has a terrible problem with fixing things that aren't screwed up.

Why did they have to change the body style of the s14 every 2 years? The s14 and s15 have to be some of the best looking cars in there class. And now this thing with the skyline:( If you ask me they have brought shame to the name and this will probably be an end to the model and it should have gone out on top.

hold on a minute slugger. The changes in the silvia are a bit much but the Skyline change is not so bad. The new look is kinda weird but it's still a skyline. (tailights, surfing line) I guess they changed it to get a larger world appeal. I dunno but I like it.

remember it will still have the other things that make it a skyline.
  • computer controlled all-wheel drive system (ATESSA-ETS)
  • 6 spd getrag transmission
  • dohc 32 valve 4.5L V8
  • or 24 valve 3.5L V6 Turbo
  • approx 400BHP
  • underboddy air duffuser thingys
  • 20" wheels ?
  • carbon fiber hood


anyway you look at it, I want one....................

i agree w/ most of you. the skyline shoulda gone out the way it was. the r32's - r34's were amazing with the RB26. if this new skyline don't get that motor or sumthing better, i'm not gonna have as much respect for it. i will still have respect for it though, because whatever it turns out as, it will be to expensive for me to buy : )
