Skyline in 2008 - Automobile Magazine

Anyone else see the article?? It looks pretty good. Nissan is suppose to unveil a teaser concept at this October's Tokyo show. It says they are planning to use a VQ35DETT or up it to a VQ40DETT. Around 400hp and a $70,000 price tag.

If it does end up costing $70k, it better be faster than 4.5 to 60! If it is $70k, I think I will end up just going forced induction on my G... I love the look of the G and 400HP to the wheels out of a RWD car is about equal to 450HP crank on an AWD car due to drivetrain loss. No warranty... but by then my G will most likely be almost, if not completely, out of warranty.

Does anybody know the exact dates and location of the auto show? If so, I'll probably swing by the show with my buddy and take some pictures. I'll have to remember to actually take pictures of the cars this time and not just the hot Japanese models "selling" the cars. Man 80 pictures between the 2 of us at the last show and you thought we would have had more car picts
