Skyline powered tr6

Nmna. Description is a little painful to read, but some funny lines like "power to weight ratio is deathly"

I want to hate that... but I can't. If I had the "toy money" laying about, I'd buy it.

$4,500 to dip and strip a body? Somebody likes to throw their money around.

I love it. The ad must be written by an English as second language type person.

I like "No test rides unless has $45K cash in hand."

If I were test driving a car with deathly power to weight ratio, I'd want both hands on the wheel, and not have one hand tied up holding $45k.

It's also not a GTR engine. Just sayin'.

Yea, I'm going to be walking around with $45k in my pocket or in my hand. Get stopped for speeding...searched and that money gets confiscated.

'Please show up with $45k cash'

I am sure you get a better take if you profile your targets a bit before you mug them. That's just good marketing.

I'm with you on this. Strikes me as one of two things. 1. Its the adult version of "Free Candy". OR 2. Somebody spent 45K building this thing. They are at once foolish enough to assume they can get 45K back out of it, and smart enough to know knuckleheads like me would pretend to be interested just for a free hooning.

What it means is "no joyrides". If you can't pay for it, you can't test drive it. "Cash in hand" probably isn't a literal demand.

Seems 100% reasonable to me.

Keith, Keith, Keith, stop it. It is a lot more fun to imagine a dude test driving this, drifting around a corner in 2nd gear holding a big stack of bills in the left hand and trying to figure out if he can hold the wheel with his thigh so he can shift to 3rd without losing the money out of his left hand.

Sorry. I have to deal with too many joyriders in high power/weight cars so it hit a sore spot and I forgot my funny.

Credit where credit is due it looks like a pretty clean build. Of course if I spent GT-R money on the build I would expect it to.

I've... built some dumb stuff.

But even i don't "get" this one.

I'll take that drivetrain, but in a GT6 please.

But why a TR6? Out of all the cars I would want to throw "95k" at, that would be last on the list....different strokes for different folks I guess....

The swap platform itself serves as ironic counterpoint to the drivetrain, it's an artistic choice.
Like an Isetta with a Merlin V-12, or a hybrid electric 63 Continental.

I'd rather have 3 r32 gts-t skylines that already possess that drivetrain.....
