Okay I know a lot about vehicles, engines, and that kinda bull, but i want to hear some guys or gals, that have EXPERIENCE in the field of cars, I'm looking for power, comfortableness, control, and stick shift. I'm not to big on the price, shouldn't be a problem for anything under 150k. Here is what I know The Nissan GT-R has a kick ASS VR38DETT engine, a 3,799 cc DOHC V6. Two parallel Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries turbochargers provide forced induction. off the factory line this engine outputs 480 bhp at 6400 rpm and 434 lb·ft at 3200-5200 rpm. The Dodge Challenger also has a kick ASS, 6.1-liter SRT hemi V8, 425 horses, and 420 LB/FT. What do you guys think. REMEMBER EXPERIENCE REQUIRED TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION, NO FRICKEN 12 YEAR OLDS!
 
I would go with the Skyline. It will be a better/faster/better looking car than the Challenger.
 
Hi,
I'm a Porsche owner, and I'm wondering if you have $150K as you claim to spend why are you buying little cheap toys?
Albeit the Skyline has some potential, but don't you want a real car? The $150K range has some really cool cars, and you could do better for your money. Just wondering? A GT3 could be had for that price range and it's waaaaaay more car...that is if you can handle it!? In fact if you want a Dodge get a late Viper if money is not an issue. In fact a GT-40 could be had too with that money, so again I ask why don't you want some real muscle and speed with some flare too?
 
I would go with the nissan. They do tend to run much longer and between my last car ( Dodge) and my new car (Nissan) already I can tell the difference. Not to mention my guy works on foreign cars and they are in the shop alot less than american made.
 
Dodge has a reputation for higher maintenance and repairs. You need to know this fact. And when you move into high performance engine, it multiplies the issue.
 
I think one of the main difference between these two cars is the fact that the Skyline has power and agility and the Challenger relies heavily on brute force horsepower.

There are other cars fall into this price range. Have you considered the C350AMG or a porsche 911?

Well, good luck with your purchase.
