Have you ever had the chance to drive a real muscle car?

Neither an NSX or a Skyline were designed to be the best straight line racers. For one, the skyline is AWD (at least when it's not a family sedan), and the NSX has a no-balls motor. h:

That is not why people buy them. And if somebody does buy a Skyline to drag, they don't do it stock unless they just want to see what they can do before modding it. (read, RWD conversion)

of course not all Lines are AWD enless you opt for a GT-R. Either way all R32 models came with the AWD function. A friend of mine owns a 92 R32 GT-R.Tuned to 800whp.Its a beast.anyways,I was talking about the design and appearance of the car more then the performance.Basicly replying to yah first comment.

They're hand built with full aluminum frames. I've heard Honda actually loses money on the sale of each NSX...thats how expensive they are to make.
