The Skyline I am not a fan of and the Nova doesn't read that fast. Was it better around a track?

No its Alfa Romeo 414b Azzure blue, just changed the gold pearl for amethiyst pearl?
I never got to take the nova round a track, i did beat a few UK imprezas while i had it, the jap ones were abit quicker?

The Skyline looked alot better in real life
