lol ah, the vspec II, that car is such a tease, 112mph top speed, my jeep would edge it out eventually. oh and no offense to you bro, but did you get that 12.9 from those videos @ vtec.net??

i wouldnt hold them much in high regard, have you heard of ringers? lol notice also when they pinned the skyline up against the italian supercars namely 911 twin turbo porsche, that the porsche (and others) left later and was obviously short shifting if you cant get a 450hp twin turbo to do better than mid 12's. i dont hold any of there 1/4 mile tests as a benchmark. everybody thinks these cars vary, mostly because they prolly never seen them run (me included) and those they have seen are modified. im just stating the tests ive seen on top gear shows , and relative comparisons.. where the hell did you see 12.9 anyway?
