Now I know the R34 is illegal in the United States. But if you had the choice between a Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec or the New 2009 GT-R which would you take?

I also know that alot of you are going to say the new GT-R is way faster and this might not be a far comparison. I personally would take the R34 V-Spec because I really loved that body style. Nothing taken away from the new GT-R, its HOT, but I love the R34.

What do you guys think?

the r34 here... the fact that there is no manual, yea i know that the new transmission is suppose to be quick and very good, but there is something a sports car should have.. the feeling of banging through the gears... and i still think the r34 looks better.. there my 2 cents

If it were a free car, the R35. If I had to pay for it...neither.

I would take the R33.

that doesn't even qualify as a question. Any enthusiast, any REAL driver would go for the R34. The R35 is a sport touring car, like an AMG Mercedes, the R34 is a sports car.

Stock vs. Stock, the GT-R performs slightly better. But the R-34 is only at about 25% of its potential in stock form, where it looks like the GT-R is at about 90%.

Definately take the R34 out of the two, I would prefer an r33 GTR, so hot. R35 is just too much money.

To be honest, now that the R35 is released and I've seen what it actually is...

I'd be torn, really.I love the R34, but the R35 is really impressing me.

Now, if it was a MINE's R34 (or a Z-Tune) then no question!

Agreed, the R34 is just a better looking car IMHO... but then again it wouldn't hurt to have all that power for that kinda price

a lot of us are basing this on what we heard but most of us never got to drive it. I know I didn;t

but the wow/cool factor of the R34 alone is worth it
