When did a luxoboat have the potential to beat the Skyline GT-R at the tracks?

Right....so you got a chance to test drive the prototype RL with the "tuned" version of the V6 right? If not, then you are making blind assumptions. :joshers:
Oh by the way, funny thing that you mention about the Q45. That's the definition of a failure...and it even had a V8! :lmfao:
Point is this....people who buy these class cars don't put it in their top priority that X car has a V8 while the other car has the similar hp but a V6.
