Default The infinity is the skyline?

Driving off after work yesterday saw the back of a car and saw the words "skyline" long emblem or something. I was like WTF. Looked like a G-35 piggy or something? Is this true? That car has no power.....skyline ok.... Infiniti owners think they own a skyline?

Skyline does not = R34. It's a model name just like a civic or accord in japan.

And yes the G35 is the skyline.

In Japan the Infiniti G35 is known as the Nissan Skyline.

Heh, if those numbers are correct, it would be for race 1 through 5 and then the S2000 would be needing a new clutch.

I am not S2000 bashing, but I have to think that the G35 is going to put up its numbers with a lot less effort than the S2000.
