Right, I'm thinking of chopping the Lancia in for something a bit less tempramental, however, I want something as quick. I don't really want a Scooby or an EVO although I may consider them if things don't pan out.

The question is, what do people think of the R33 Skyline GTR V-spec. It is a 2.6l I6 twin turbo, that produces 286 bhp (choked for Jap regs) and 271 ft/lb of torque (these are the official figures, believed to be higher. It will do 0-60 in 4.9 and go on to a limited 155mph. All this and it has a fancy 4wd system to help in the corners too. 450bhp is easily acheivable and that will still keep it very reliable.

What I want to know, has anyone actually drove one? I've heard they are quite boring to drive because they correct any mistakes for you. It is undeniably fast with the potential to go much faster, but is it a proper drivers car or would it bore me after the Lancia experience?

Cheers for any help and advice PH peoples
