I've been waiting for this one for years. Too bad I just bought by Blown Regal. The WRX with 227HP should be quick, but you know the aftermarket will have that number up to 300-350 in no time. Does anyone know if they use the same block as the actual rally car???

Later,
Dave

That's a decent car, but I can't wait until the Nissan Skyline GTR comes to U.S.
Japan says it was only intended for Japan, but it'll be here some day.

It would be really scary to see the Skyline here in the States.

Every import racer worth their salt would be running up and down the streets. Blowing many stock Mustangs away.

That would raise the bar in street racing and shift the power.

The Skylines are here in the U.S. through a company called MotoRex. Rumor has it that the new R35's are going to be coming to the U.S. when they are released in about 2003-2004, possibly under the Infinity badge.
