[mkiv] Viper vs. Z06 Corvette

[Mohd A.]

Here is a great link with excellent large pictures of the new 2009 Nissan 
GT-R Skyline,
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/nissan/nissan-gt-r-ar45992.html

3800cc
473 HP at 6400rpm
433 lbs-ft from 3200 to 5200rpm
Twin Turbo
AWD
and a lot more.........

Nissan puts all their new sport cars on the plate, 350z and the Skyline, 
Mazda puts out the RX8, what can Toyota put out to top them all? 
traditionally Toyota always plays the 'wait and see approach', I'm hoping 
for a surprise!..
otherwise the skyline is the future import Japanese sport car...
