2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec review from UK and Ireland

Leather on drivers seat looks a little more 'aged' than passenger side (through more use). Not really a fault though.

Why the GT-R?

-------------

Currently for less than £60,000, there is no other car I'd rather have than my GT-R.

O Driving it gets you as much attention as being a superstar. They are _rare_ outside of Japan. Only 80 R34 GT-R official examples in UK.

O You don't have to become so fanatical about where you park it, unlike your average Ferrari owner.

O Prices are going UP with some late NUR models now fetching £60,000-£70,000! Even '99 models are now selling for £36,000. Ever since production ceased and no alternative supercar exists demand has gone up! This will get even worse on June 6th with the release of 2 Fast, 2 Furious! (The GT-R R34 is the star of the film)

Alternatives:

-------------

When I choose to trade in it will be either the new V35 GT-R (if its any good) or a Ferrari 360 or perhaps the new 'baby' Aston Martin.

Performance:

------------

Its on another level. This car is basically a street legal race car. Don't believe the 280bhp, its near as damned 320-330bhp from factory. Change the exhaust/downpipes and you seeing 400bhp!

With some tuning the GT-R can easily out pace a Porsche turbo or Ferrari. Handling, lets just say _nothing_ on the road can match a well tuned example, OK, perhaps the new Enzo :)

You really must drive one fast in the twisties to truly appreciate this car!!!
