Can your current car beat 7mins 59seconds?
As thats what the R33GTR did when it held the production car lap record of the ring.
I wouldnt get one though, as i dont like Skylines, not becasue they not capable, as they obv are.
Personally if I wanted RWD id get a S14a 200SX and go from there. Fully adjustable (ie castor, camber, toe) suspension front and rear will cost you about half of what a rear beam alone costs on a cossie, parts of every kind are pretty cheap and everywhere, engines strong and can be tuned to big power easily, etc etc etc.
If I wanted 4wd id just get an Evo, prob an Evo3 and spend the rest of the money making it a weapon rather than a more standard later one.
Apologies - my comment has misled.
Race pace is to a degree not what I was talking about - the Cosworth is lets face it hopeless around a track such as the Ring.
I accept the basic R33 is a quick car around the ring, but it doesnt feel that interesting unless with the sunny side of 400bhp in my experience of driving them. This is subjective, not objective.
AMG - No interest whatsoever - I have an M5 which I consider to be a better car than the E55AMG. I have a friend who has one the same as yours Phil, and my M5 mullered it!
E46 M3 - nah - too slow in a straight line!
RS4 - too expensive!
