RE: First kills!

yeah, there were right there with each other, and the supra turbo had like 330 hp or something like that. nothing insane. They are alot like the terminators tho in that you can throw anything at them and they handle it just fine. so when modding any 3 of those cars its really all about just adding power and not strenthening the motor to take it. thus the vast appeal of all 3 cars.

I was just recalling a blog or something about someones love of the GT-R in which they said the thing came with 600 factory hp. the GT-R is just a recalled skyline that nissan decided to supe up.

I think the reason the cars were so beefed up was because they were raced so heavily in Japan. Some people don't realize how many different models the Skyline came in. There's even a 4 door. Some are only rear wheel drive as well.

Edit: I remember the Skyline you are talking about. Nissan went and put their best parts on the car. They did something similar when the new Z came out. They sold a refurbished 240 through their dealerships to promote the new car.
