    360

    SOOOO, I was driving to work this morning on 59 paying attention to the road and what not when i hear a vrroomy sound to my left, so i look over and i see 4 tailpipes and 4 round lights->360 modena challenge ..in blue! So i'm like cool, ive never seen one of those on the road before...anyway he was driving pretty aggressively and weaving and hauling ass so i just drove regularly but then sped up when i saw that he was getting off at my exit and then he got off at the exit that i was getting off at. So the light is red, 2 lanes...but theres a car already in the right lane so he goes in the left and i duck in behind him. So i was like hmmmm let me try something..so i revved, and to follow suit he did too :shock: :shock: . Oh man, i almost melted in my seat, we were right next to an underpass so the sound bounced around a bit...ive never heard a ferrari at high rpm's in real life but it was sah-weet, now i know why they use word like "melodious" in magazines and stuff. So anyway, light turns green and i see some gray exhaust smoke, some black tire smoke, and hear some exhaust music and he was GONE he had already chirped 2nd by the time my mouth finished dropping and started to go. Its not like i was gonna try to race him, but that was pretty rediculous. Anyway, there's my story.

    P.S. disclaimer. this was pretty cool to me, but it might not seem too cool to those that live in a car capital city in california or something like that and see 360's everyday :)

    Dude I know exactly how you feel. This one pulled up to a stoplight here, not racing or anything, and I almost cried when I heard it rev. That road it was on is poplulated by ricers, and when i heard that engine it was the nicest sound Id ever heard. Ya man, I know what your feeling.

    Why does it say you have an engine swap here.......yet in your other post you claim to have a turbo and 100 shot of NOS.

    Which one is it?

    I was bored and decided to drive around...cruise i guess. and i was on I-10 and i the freeway wasnt congested yet. In my rearview mirror i saw a car coming pretty fast with really bright lights, at first i thought it was it was just an annoying rice rocket. Then it got closser, i thought i saw an oversized grill, but when it got even closer, it turned out to be an oversized intercooler. I changed lanes to let it pass me so i can see what kind of car it was. My god i thought i saw a skyline, i promise u guys it looked exactly like it no cheesy body kits, the fit and finish looked perfect from behind i saw the nissan badge wtih the word "Skyline" perfectly spaced out on the back. The paint job was the color changing one, gold and greenish. I wanted to make sure it was a real skyline so i sped up, luckly the freeway was getting congested, i was side by side with it. I was assuming he wasnt driving aggressivly. But to my disappointment it was a left hand drive. But i swear it looked exactly like a skyline on the outside....such a tease

    it coulda still been a skyline........a lot of imported skylines are converted to left side drive. I'm pretty sure that's all what motorex does to all of them they import.

    As far as i know, Motorex never converts them to left-side drive. They keep all imported skylines RHD as far as im aware.

    Importers, dont change to LHD. people who spend that kinda money keep it LHD :wink:

    I dont know what kinda car it could have been?

    The specs are the same as the standasrd Skyline (they just dont come in the GT-R version with 4 doors). Either a straight 4 or 6 cylinder.
