The Nissan Skyline GTR R34


Summary, Beastly is the best way to describe this car. A extremely hot ride that is not sold in the U.S. that everybody is gonna wanna get there hands on after reading this. It can go from 0-60 in just 4.9 seconds and 0-100 in 12.3 seconds. It has a inline-6 Twin Turbo engine which slams 480 horses of power into it. This AWD car tops off at 155 mph and is never afraid to be modded to go faster. This car is also easy to tune to your taste. Let's face it though it's not a good looking car (stock) and it's extremely expensive. However with a lot of money and work you may one day have yourself a very nice Skyline GTR R34.


Pros:


-Insane amount of horsepower.
-Sure to attract the ladies.
-Recognizable to most car lovers.
-Greatly made by Japanese Nissan engineers.
-Comes very fast (stock)

Cons:

-Expensive beyond reason.
-Not very good looking.
-Bad gas mileage.
-Right side steering.
-Very attractive to robbers and cops.
-Insane insurance rates.


Would I buy this?


If  I had the money and the time to fix it up I think that it may make a very fine addition to my garage. This car may be great for a racer, However it may not be the best car if you plan on driving your kids to school everyday.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9

Summary,  Everybody has known from the dawn of time that the Evo would someday take over the rally car industry, and I think that this model is the one that has done that. This is no ordinary tuner, it takes the rally world to a whole new mind boggling level. It comes standard with Recaro racing seats, BBS rims, and a turbocharged 2 liter 286 hp Mivec engine. Not to mention it has a nice spoiler. Although there is a new model of this car (The Evo 10) I feel that this is the last model of the Evo that is really great.    



Pros :

- Supercar acceleration.
- Mind blowing grip.
-Great price for the performance.
- Enough seats for all of your friends to enjoy.- Good looking factory body kit.

 Cons :

- Almost Toyota,like build quality (Not that there
is anything wrong with Toyota).
- Racing seats could get uncomfortable on
 long drives. (Otherwise very stylish)
- The Us models loose some HP compared to the Japanese models.
- Insane insurance premiums.
- Certain to catch the eye of both cops and
 criminals.


Would I buy this?

- I most certainly would! This is a machine like no other in the world. It is cheap, has super-car performance, it's pretty good looking, and there is plenty of room for the whole family. Overall I would recommend for you to buy the Evo.
