Oops, I skipped the 6-cylinder, my choice would be the nissan VQ-series that powers the 350Z, G35 (V35 Skyline), Maxima, I35, Murano, Pathfinder and the V6 Altima.

Thank You Cano! what good is a mega-buck car..if it's still a plain old car(stock). I'd rather have a $50 POS and sink as much as possible on GOOD quality performance parts, and end up witha unique looking vehicle that can EMBARRASS those "pretty boys " in thier DADDY'S car!!!

I know there CAN be creativity in the imports, but I have to see some of it yet. I mean, some more. its hard to admire the engineering feats that can be performed in these cars because most of them are already engineering marvels, but, for example, some of those 3-rotor mazdas are way cool and exhibit some hard thinking to make them happen. some of the engine swaps are cool, too, like that rx7 with a supra motor on it, and the list goes on and on... but as I said, its more difficult to apreciate it in import cars... and dont take that wrong, Im totally WILLING to see some of it. so, SHOW ME!!!

what about the skyline....I know it's rather expensive but it does have some good engineering points.

yeah, but, please READ... I said that they are ALREADY engineering marvels. I think the skyline its one of the most advanced, complex and impressive cars on earth. THAT is why its SO difficult to make a technological statement on them. but, for example, lez take this certain 69 Camaro and make it OVERRUN AND OVERCORNER a Skyline. and no stock Skyline, but a modded one. yeah, a 69 Camaro. 45 yerars old. if someone makes SUCH a statement, I think it will be MUCH more noticeable thatn to make a skyline top at 1100 hp. the same with the camaro. its a MUCH BIGGER statement to make one overrun and overcorner a skyline that making it have 1100 hp... after all, there are many more that are MORE potent than that...

so, yeah, I know the skyline IS an engineering marvel, but that is factory-developed. show me a tunned skyline or a tunned whatever with some THINKING into it, rather than some bolt ons.
c'mon. it can be done, no?
oh, and, about a 69 camaro overruning a skyline... Its true. there is such an animal.
