Final decision:

EA Fairmont for it's interior space,performance and economy.
next
VL Calais space and the V8.
third
TN Magna, for Price and efficiency.
forth
Skyline, Handling but feels cramped.
fifth
Cressida, getting old smooth and quiet.
last
Volvo, couldn't keep up....

No sh*t that the Magna was faster than the Skyline, those things are so over-rated. For a Nissan engine the RB30 is a joke.

I dont believe one bit that the Magna is faster than the Skyline.

magna manual vs line auto = yes

autoauto = dunno

manual vs manual = nono

0-100 the magna is only faster by 1/8 of a blink of an eye lid, but by the 400m mark, the skyline had over another half a second on it.

remember, this was in 88, crap autos. also those nissan rb30's were freak engines, some are real slow where as others are real fast. just not too consistant performance wise

skylines are top cars, used to have two of them. I sold my last one for my Verada. In my dreams I am still driving it. :sook:
