I vacillate about selling my car and not. I'm considering a V35 Skyline as a replacement and have looked at a number of them and have to say I like what I see. It's funny how, just as my car is running the best it ever has and looks (in my opinion) really hot, I think about selling. Maybe it's the improvement path that's come to an end and I need something younger to spend time making it how I want.

Dave, Yes I have driven both the 4 door 8 speed and the 5 speed coupe. Of course the 4 door is practical if you frequently carry passengers (which I don't). It has slightly less power than the coupe and of course has to be heavier. Interestingly, the coupe has a wide fold down section behind the rear seats which the 4 door does not have. For a naturally aspirated car, they go like a shower of ****. I don't think I would need to do too many mods for speed. Just a set of decent wheels, free flow exhaust and that would be about it. Not quite as much luxury as the LTD I now drive, but I find I don't use everything I have in any case. So the verdict is still out there as to whether to go for it or not. Perhaps the worst thing would be leaving the SC environment.
