I think the overall shape is very muscular and organic in a good way. BUT too many have plastic-chrome and silly colours and the can look awful.

But if you look hard enough you may even find there's Sapphires that look awful too, believe it or not!

Most performance cars look horrible IMHO

If you look at pulsars scoobs all the cossies none of them look nice really..........(not confusing nice looking with aggressive )


cars that look good as well as go fast i think as of supercars really........rarris porkers etc

below that you have cars that perform and dont look nice (to the general public) and then cars that look nice but dont perform well.

Horses for courses as they say.

P.S i love the look of the R32 and R34

I reckon that's about spot on.

Beautifully designs they are not, but purposeful in looks they may well be.

Its a higher engine spec than mine but he doesn't have the Nismo front bumper that I have.

Gorgeous car massive spec. Its for sale... wants over Ł80k though but its one of the best out there.

I don't like R33s or R34s (which I personally think are bought by "curb-crawlers" - i.e. the "look at me, I'm driving a Skyline" brigade ).

R32s are where it's at, the original Grp A homologation cars, lighter, more raw and more manly - none of this medallion crap .

Something that looks like this, but with SteveN's engine would do me fine .

i love em - think the 33 looks best, not keen on 34 rear lights. Guessing the 32 is best to drive though.
