as long as we have a commercial based gov't you will never see the dissapearance of GM. Sure they arent doing well worst of the three actually but they are just falling from a much greater marketshare than the other 2. Being in the detroit area everyone here has something to do with the automotive world and this effects all of us its kind of scary in a way.

I agree that you'll never see GM go under.. The Government will definitely bail them out, just like they did with Chrysler, and Harley.

One thing they wont be able to help however is hurting foreign auto makers... back when Harley was in trouble they imposed an import tax to put the Japanese and european bike makers on an higher price level then the american bikes.

Considering there seems to be more "Japanese" cars being manufactured in the US then "US" car these days all the Government will be able to do is pump money into GM to keep them afloat, or maybe change some laws that would allow them to cut loose the pension responsibilities they've built up.

If ur talkin' about things like an Expedition or Yukon XL, I doubt that'll ever happen, lol. Unless Toyota decides to make an America only vehicle (since they've got a factory in the making here... on their way to be the Dell of cars).

I was refering more to my 96 Impala, I could care less about SUV's, I hate driving them...

Granted, there are some 'roomy' foreign cars, and even GM doesnt make a relatively large sedan anymore... Oh well... I was just commenting.

Its the taxing they are avoiding by creating factories in this country. And though it boosts local economy with the supply of jobs a majority of the money heads overseas to the HQ in Japan (usually). US companies HQ's are obviously here and they make factories elsewhere for the cost of production so the automotive world is much more intertwined than most international markets. Its very hard to control and even harder to predict

R34 is not the g35 chassis.

the current skyline sucks ass.
the r34 is capable of holding 1000hp to the wheels on the stock lowerend.... I'd like to see the vette do that.
I do like the Zo6 and it sounds baddass cammed and loudmouth. but AWD burnouts Pwn RWD Burnouts

Yes thank you for proving the skyline is so much better, it can do AWD burnouts and can support a 1000bhp with stock parts. those are obviously the most important things I think of when clasifying cars. Tell me again how is nissan doing in the le mans gt(2) series against that inferior Z06?

[Rylinkus]

Do you think given the price differential between the 2 you could replace the Z06 bottom end with a more robust one?

And AWD burnouts? Wow..... My friends Talon does AWD burnouts. Remember, spinning your tires while racing makes you faster.

But the smoke might distract the other driver and cause him to crash! Of course then Speed Racer will just press one of those buttons and have a gadget to fix it!

thanks man

Z06 Hands Down.  

I dont plan to get into this Rice vs. White Competition, but all I have to say is I would take a Z06 any day and every day over a Skyline. It's jsut me but I would love to have both cars but if I could only have one, the z06 would be in my driveway.

I could post videos of plenty of cars that run impressive 1/4s. The fact that one car runs fast is an indication of which ones are better stock. Or with mods. And certainly no indication of the total cost to get it there. And people are dicks? For not having the same opinion as you?

I would pick the Skyline, they are amazing!

[leijae]

look the fact of the matter is that an r34 is a great car because there aren't many of them here... the z06 is fast and cheaper true. However, the Infiniti R35 Skyline GTR is gonna kick the z06's ass. 3.5VQ with twin turbo, AWD, Brembo breaks, TWIN TURBO.... did i mention a twin turbo'd 3.5v6 which is already in the g35/350z with 300hp?
