Why a skyline ?
Well, it can be tuned to around 600bhp (though 450bhp would be easy to attain cheaply + reliably)
4 wheel steer, rear wheel drive characteristics, better build quality. The list goes on..
Rather, you should ask, why a Scoob ?

Dave - the reason I asked why was as in why ask the question....
I would choose a Skyline any day of the week - I'm getting pissed off with my scoob and I am not blind to the fact that a scoob is not as good as peeps think...I wasnt asking why choose a skyline
Bri - u trying to wind peeps up or what?

How much do these r33's cost
STI5 second hand should be had for about £15kish with a few goodies - how much is the r33 in comparison?
I've never seen a Skyline with 450hp so cant be that easy to achieve or they'd do it.
I cant comment on which I'd chose as I've never driven a Nissan

Not sure what the Exige is? - is it the really small car that a bloke over about 6foot cant get in?
If it is - looks a bit of a womans car? and is hardly the most practical car around
Good for track if you can get init - would'nt wnat to be in a crash in it though

Steve - I have considered an Exige. Im 6 ft 3 and 16 stone and it was fine to fit in...
Believe me 450bhp in a skyline is no bother... there was a 700bhp beast at the ring last trip and peeps like Top Secret in Japan get 1200bhp

-- "Though getting 450hp isn't cheap if it's to be reliable.
450hp in a Skyline isn't that fast either. Too heavy."
Not so.
450bhp out of a Skyline costs you about £2K (Middlehurst Motorsport) which isn't too much per bhp and is very reliable (i.e not a "chip" job).
450bhp = 300bhp/tonne.. Which royally p1sses on a scoob.

Some strange answers and ideas on this thread!!
I had an STI5(325 BHP)now got a GT-R 33(400 BHP) and the Skyline is much smoother and faster once off the lights. Obviously it is heavier and a good launch is a bit more difficult but nothing my OS Geiken twin plate clutch can't handle.
So the Skyline wins, and another thing is if you are doing longer/motorway trips its a lot more comfortable.

What I meant was I have not personally seen a Skyline with more than 450bhp
I've seen plenty with around 350-400bhp
But not more than this power
Sure there's plenty around - just not seen - there was a Skyline shootout in a mag recently but none had particularly high power that I recall
I'm mixing up the exige then - perhaps I'm mistaking it for the old Lotus jobs - which I could'nt fit in.. my mistake
david Yu - Godzilla - not exactly the most realiable car in the World
