Has anyone read the article on the high-powered "special edition" Skyline called the Blackbird? Twin turbo, 550 bhp at 7500 rpm, 440 lb.-ft. of torque at 5600 rpm. 6-speed gearbox. By the time you are in 3rd gear, you are already over the national speed limit . 0-60 mph in 3.5 sec. Quarter mile in 11.2 sec and top speed is 198 mph! All-wheel-drive too and awesome handling! All this for a mear $115,000 (and it is street legal too!). :drooling:
