Hey everyone,

Just been thinking lately about getting on my opens (a while away but still) and I always had it set in my mind i'd upgrade from my VT V6 and get a VY/VZ SS for the power and sound.

All and all I am just plain bored with the power and want my next car to be something to modify for power. I have found myself looking at Skyline R34 GT-T's. I love how they look (when done properly and not riced out) and you can see when people spend some cash on mods that they bloody fly!

I was just curious stock if the R34 GTT even stands a chance against a VY/VZ V8 and for whatever money id want to spend on them, which one would be more likely to give me fun and enjoyment in my driving?
Also if anyoen can make anymore preferences of a choice of car im all ears! $20K is a realistic price for me at the moment.

Thanks alot in advance.

the GT-T should easily keep up with a stock SS up to around 140km/h before the SS starts pulling ahead.

Personally i would get an SS and mod the engine to the point where no ricer could touch it :p

i'd go the skyline, not just because they are fast but because they handle heaps better than any commo

VY Berlina V6 / R31 Skyline
$20k will get you an A5 fresh import R34 GT-T and some cash to play with from Edward Lee. That would be my go, better on petrol, easy to get power out of, and will handle better than the VY/VZ with so little effort.

Provided you don't mind having a 2door v. a 4door car

May want to get an insurance quote on both for further comparison as well.
