I never got the Skyline fanboism nor Type R bullshit. I’ll listen to your explanations. PowerPoint presentations will be frowned upon. :nono ---

IDK bout the skyline, but the GSR is cheap to buy, relatively quick right outa the box, and can be made fast (for a Honda) with not too much money. ---

Out of all the people Shawn you should appreciate the skyline, due to the similarities between the 3000gt and Skyline’s. Bullet proof blocks AWD AWS Twin Turbo 6 Cyl. Heavy as boats. Two door. But one has a mad tyight jDm following. :confused Jealousy? :ponder ---

The Skyline is a fanboy car because of 2Fast2Furious, which made it look like God’s gift. The GS-R is not a fanboy car, the Type-R is. ---

People like them for the same reason you liked the vr-4. Who wants to drive around in a shitty 3000gt base model, when they can actually be fast? ---

And I’m sure people who owned lower model Yugos wished they had enough money for the best one :lol I dunno about the cult thing. I think some kids just think that having Vtec means thats its crazy fast or something, which is not the case at all. ---

I wouldn’t say that 2Fast2Furious was the reason people like Skyline’s so much. Word got out about them loooong ago. Maybe it’s just be, since I’ve been a fan of the car before almost anyone I know, before FandF1, Gran Turismo 3, etc… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/explain-this-type-r-bullshit/236028.md?page=2)
