Ok,

Skyline sucks.

Ferrari is a nice car, but owners suck.

Blah, blah.

I own a Carrera, but think the Boxster is awesome. If they made a 2 seat, mid-engined Boxster Coupe, I would buy that in a second.

By the way, lots of girls drive Boxsters. Lots of girls drive Carreras, but no girls drive Skylines, cause thay suck.

(ha ha)

ONLY girls worth (yadda yadda yadda) drive Boxsters.The rest, well, You dont even want to be near that trash. They tend to be so ugly that even the TIDE wont take them out.....

<strong>Oh this is such a crock, here's the info on the car:

The Nissan Skyline GT-R.
Year: 1998 Status: Currently in production
Engine: 2.6 litre twin turbocharged straight six. Power: 280 bhp
0-60: 5.2 secs, Top speed: Electronically limited to 155 mph.

Now here are the records for the Nordschliefe circuit at Nurburbring:
Now from the Nurburgring website:
Northern Loop historical records
Class Driver Car Time Speed Event
Formel 1 Clay Regazzoni Ferrari 7.06,4 192,8 km/h GP von Deutschland 1975
Gruppe C Derek Bell/Stefan Bellof Porsche 956 6.25,91 194,33 km/h 1.000-km - Rennen 1983
Motorcycle Marco Lucchinelli Suzuki 500ccm 8.22,2 163,6 km/h GP von Deutschland 1980

Notice that a motorcyle that turned an 8 minute 22 second lap around the course averaged 163 mph. Since by Nissan's own admission the Skyline is limited to 155mph, there's no way it could have broken the 8 second barrier.

This "unofficial" claim of breaking 8 seconds will have to remain.
</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Look more carefully at the records and you will see that speeds are in kilometers per hr.
So the 8:22 163.6 kph = 101.7 mph

Even Derek Bell's 6:25 at 194.33 kph =120.75 mph.

Both are well within the stated top speed of the Skyline.

Christer you are so right it's threads like this that seem to prevent me getting an answer to a genuine question on this forum. See retrofit 2003 roof below - any ideas guys. Please it would be much appreciated.

Funny posts- some r a little too sensitive. I drive a 03 986 2.7L and love it man. I have chest hair and can grow a beard in about 3 hours. No I am not a woman. Ha.

What ghoul dug this out of the graveyard?

If the Boxster is a girl's car, then buy me a pink skirt and call me Nancy. I've been looking for one for months.

Here in Southern Cal I see lots of (beautiful) women driving Boxsters and it doesn't bother me a bit. I usually drive mine with the top down and they usually have the top up....must be a hair thing..........

If someone says a Boxster is a girls car, they don't understand what a "Sport Car" is. Or have never driven one.
