well, everyone here is from canada, and the R34 skyline is not street legal here so you might not get the best info here.
BTW, 48,000 pounds is more like $100,000

I prefer the 911 Turbo GT2, but if you can get a Skyline go for it, be sure and post up pics...

I believe he is converting into US Dollars not CDN, but yes CDN dollars would be around $100K or possible more

I think it depends what you want out of your car. The R34 I believe would have more HP potential by going single etc. etc. a Porshce 996 C4 however is very nice but I don't believe turbo.
The 996 in North America puts out 320BHP, I assume it is different then in Europe so if anyone knows the European Spec post them up.

All in all, if it was me sign me up for ar34 Skyline and some 10sec time slips:clap:

Have a good one!
