There are quite a few Americans that like the winding road, circuit racing, and auto cross.

Unfortunately, with NASCAR their biggest motorsport series (like our V8 Supercars) so people assume that's their thing.

Just like I don't give a flying f**k about two mechanically identical cars with fake taxi bodies, a lot of Americans don't give a stuff about NASCAR.

Anyway, here's Clarkson's review of the current Z06. And here's Tiff's.

Both are guys that don't have much time for American motorvated sofas, and they both love the circuit behavior of the Z06.

yep ill take one!! sign me up, i think its a hot thing, just hope its got some good technology under the skin. hopefully the french people will still let the japanese people to build the ultimate supercar.

Not to open a can of worms, but...

The Chevy Z06 is a massive amount of car for the money. Something like $60,000 for a car that compete with cars costing twice as much. Even though it's GM, will likely fall apart in about 5 years, and every douchebag down the street will own one, they're still a force to be reckoned with. It should be interesting to see how these two cars match up--Best Motoring or Top Gear, are you listening?

The G35 is NOT a Skyline. The fact that some idiot at Nissan decided to call it a Skyline to please you couch-racers is also irrelevant. The G35 bears absolutely no resemblance to the GTR 32, 33, or 34 in any shape way or form. Some idiot at Nissan thought to play off the name and some of you gullible souls probably bought it so you could brag that you haved a Skyline. Well sorry you do not. You have a nice car, but its not a Skyline.

someone should break it to the poor boy that the R30 was a bastard child of the C210 Skyline... which then evolved to the R31 and consequently R32.

The Infiniti G35 is a "Skyline" since its identical to the JDM Skyline of the current era. Its a logical "clean sheet" continuation of the R3x series.

Otherwise, someone ask the poor boy if the R32-R34s were "playing off the" name since they have no resemblance to the original KPGC10 :(

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
