And it smells GOOOOOOOD!
It isn't rice if it's fast. Things like the Supra, Skyline, and Evo are all examples of import power. What do we have to complete with those cars? Corvette, nothing, and Neon VR-4? We've got nothing to complete with the Skyline, it is purely awesome in speed trim. I could care less about the appearance mods, just make it look clean and build it to lap everything else on the track.
Remember, if it's "right" wheel drive it's all good. The only import to be rear wheel driven and suck is the Mazda RX8, look at the trash we still sell that's rear wheel drive (cough Mustang cough Pickups cough heavy sedans).

I honestly would take a 99+ Nissan Skyline GT-R over a Grand National any day. How can you compete with a Twin Turbo, 6-speed, AWD US exotic? Sure its a right Hand Drive car... its just alittle more uniqe then another black G-body 
Plus their more costly, and the re-sell value would be WAY above the resale value of a GN that has probably been raced already and had its fare share of abuse + 15 years of life.
In Japan Skylines are as common as v6 Mustangs, so a majority are in fairly good shape and have just been daily driven.
Too bad the cost to import on to the united states is well over half a mil.

If you were serious about purchasing one, you go through a place named motorrex in california. What they do is they have an account basically in Japan, and they purchase skylines (and other non us version cars) and set you up with a car of your choice. They then take care of exporting the car through Customs and all that bull. Then they take the car for a couple of months and basically get it up to date to make it US legal. Theirs a bunch of saftey feautres that have to be adopted. And then they will ship it to where ever you are.
I think I got carried away on the Million, but its pretty dam expensive once the whole process goes through. I saw a 1995 GTS for sale in Florida, asking price was 65k.
