I'm thinking about buying a Skyline

[whiplash473]

I haven't read through the whole thread but if you buy an Ecoboost, I'll never talk to you again. If you buy a Skyline, I'll have a jealous hatred towards you, but at least I'll still respond to your texts.


EDIT: Oh for the love... I did NOT realize this was from 2016.

that is the first real argument FOR an ecoboost that makes me consider it.

About how much is the skyline your looking at cost? I'm just wondering.

At the time, $27k.

Sweet Jesus!

Sweet Jesus!

What can I say? I have expensive taste!

 

[AStangThang]

I understand, I like $3,000 to $6,000 cars and putting $25,000 to $30,000 in them for one sweet ads ride.

That's fine in a Focus if that's your thing, not in a truck.

I've towing my Mustang on a couple occasions with my dad's '17 F150 ecoboost. Pulled it like a champ. Probably tows better than a gas 3/4 ton truck from 10-15 years ago.

They do have their place in the world and they are impressive. Add two turbos to a 5.0 and watch the novelty fade away.

When the factory does that and sells it with a warranty I'm sure it will be nice but for now they don't. After driving identical trucks back to back I'd take the Ecoboost over the coyote all day. I'm trying to talk my brother into an Ecoboost for his '76 F100

I know. Dont care.

Makes sense

I agree with white, to each their own.

Let’s keep it civil and without attitude when discussing people’s personal preference. Each motor is a great choice and some prefer one over the other. It’s much like the preference between a mod and a pushrod.

Either way there’s no need for acting rude.

Let’s get back to op’s discussion as it is.

Skylines are awesome. But how much more awesome would it be if someone dropped a mustang body on a skyline chassis. You’d have a super bad awd stang.

Careful. You're starting to sound like a moderator. Also, how dare you give me new ideas.

Or dropped a Coyote or Eco-Boost into a Skyline?

Owner of this site refuses to acknowledge that 90% of the mods are no longer active. Someone has to keep people in line.

And I dare you to buy a totaled skyline and a v6 mustang and Frankenstein them. Hell, I’d come down and help.

More and more Skylines are showing up at meets around here. Cool to see things like variable valve timing in a car from the early 90's. My son goes gaga over them all the time.
