The new 2005 Nissan Skyline Z-Tune GT-R would be a good car to take and it only costs about $168,000. The downside is that they are only making about 20 of them.

Lousy Handling???? It has all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. Of course the one on The Fast and the Furious was "dumbed" down by disabling the all-wheel drive and four wheel steering. :no

I don't know the specs on the Z-Tune but Skylines are notorious for having extremely powerfull engines but lousy handling :(

You have been poorly informmed:

There might be other cars with lots of grip, but hardly any of these will respond the way a Skyline does. Driving hard into corners one can feel the all-wheel-drive system distributing the torque between the wheels for maximum stability. Any driver input is converted into action immediately without delay. In correspondence with the 56% stiffer bodyshell over the R33, the GT-R communicates with the driver as if it was one with him.

i have never heard anything about any skyline ever having bad handling and actually see more about how good they are at handling.
