Stillen announced earlier that they have completed preparations of their GT-R, and are ready to race the 620 horsepower beast in Targa Newfoundland. The Stillen R35 Nissan GT-R goes 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, hitting 130mph at 11.4 seconds, on its way to a near-200 mph top speed. The car clocked an 11.0 second quartermile, crossing the line at 127.9 mph.
Driver and company founder Steve Millen will pilot the car in the rally. He also oversaw the car's overhaul, which included "months of tearing down, shaving weight, developing new products, building and testing." You can see some of the vehicle's testing in this 2 minute 48 second video.
Amongst the refinements are new intake and exhaust systems, a new boost controller, and adjustable sway bars, springs, and endlinks. AP Racing carbon/ceramic brake pads and rotors were also installed. Status racing seats sit on custom frames, and the whole exterior is wrapped in carbon fiber.T
The 1,400 mile (2,200 km) Targa Nefoundland rally begins on September 12, and concludes one week later.

What a sinister looking Skyline. Sorry porsche this thing will eat your gt2 and maybe even a gallardo as a light midnight snack. I would not be able to drive this thing to its limit.

If you spent as much $ on a GT2 modding it it would be a very very close call. This would be like a GT2 CUP or something, or the GT Gallardo racecar, or the R8 LMS in which case sorry this thing would be the one getting eaten alive.

i think thats an unfair comparison. one is a track prepped machine the other is a rally one. take a r8 lms or gt gallardo racecar on a rally track and this thing would eat it alive

skychao ... this thing is no more a rally car then any of the other vehicles mentioned. Targa's are generally tarmac based races, like a rally format - point to point - but still road races for road cars like GTR's, Porsche, Lambo's, ferrari and a whole heap of others ... Comparisons with R8's and Gallardo's are fair ... Performance for $$$ spent - thats what it is all about!!!!

That is what a stock spoiler should look like...growing upward 6 inches or so. I am not sure if the current stock spoiler actually works or is just there as a cosmetic piece. If it is just for cosmetic, I would rather just take it off and seal the holes to prevent any water leak.
