I am also pompous and opinionated.

Actually I think we have an idea - you don't like them domestic and purpose built to race in the GT class-- I mean you just said so - with your jab at "catering to the import crowd" - right?

I am also guessing since you didn't say something like "Wow nice car, but bad name.." you probably don't like it..

Which is what we all know - and the "Mines" Skyline would not own it... they would be able to compete in the GT class - in fact both may need to be detuned to qualify for the GT class limits.

Originally Posted by tuffguy also, my original question was if ford has used GT-R in the past, or if they're simply doing it for the import crowd. i did not criticize this car or its merits. i'm not the one who said 'let's race for it'. and if we're gonna race for it, why would i choose a stock R34 to go up against this beast?

Why would they do this for the import crowd? It is pegged to be a factory provided race car.

And I never criticized the Skyline on it's merits or it's sole claim to the GT-R moniker - I simply said "if you want the name back - let's race for it".

I cant see the pics

it's right there, check it, it's not on the main page of this post.

and btw, DAM that's a nice mustang, i especially like the grille so nice, i don't like the wing though a little ricey to me, american muscle car shouldn't have rear spoilers. this car kinda remind me of the old BOSS mustang.

RC45 - i think remember ford slapping "GT-R" on something at an autoshow a while back. ford has the focus, and i know that GM's been going pretty hard after the import crowd. didn't they display an autocross version of the grand prix as well?

"catering to the import crowd" should indicate disapproval, not that i'm a fan.

So what do you drive?

[blah]

When did autocross become associated with Imports?

Lots more pics for those that want them. I think it looks great. The spoiler isn't all that great, but at leasts it's functional. I guess if I were to have one as a street car, the first thing to go would be the spoiler.

fuck yes that is a nice looking car they really went all out on the details gotta love the full length headers too. not too many racecars with O2 sensors though. I like the spoiler very Cobra-R like.

wow very nice set of pictures, and in reference to my previous post it wasn't to upset anyone just my opinion, and to elaborate further i mainly have an issue with the styling of the cars, this and the GT40 resemble too much their predecessors for me thats all, but hell everyone else seems to like them, i am just one of those few . Nice to see these future concepts compared to the cars :roll: they produce now

They have been reposted on page 2 - I guess you didn't bother to follow the discussion either...

Damn...thanks for all the pics. The thing definately rocks.

Just a side note, as for comparisons of apples to apples and Mine's Skyline to the Mustang GT-R, I see the Mustang as a factory car since it's being produced by Ford, straight out of the box, even though it's basically a race car. If you want to compare it to Mine's Skyline, then you have to let a tuner get a hold of the Mustang and pump it more...it would definately be one heck of a shoot out!

I think it looks really good, except the spoiler makes it look kinda like a Honda. lol
