Hmm... sorta weird, having screens in the head rests. Not only useless, but probably a bit uncomfortable. Probably hair gel and products all over those screens.

It also reminds me of MTV's new show "Pimp My Ride" where they take a $900 Toyota Camry and put $20,000 worth of stuff in it. Just crazy.

Looks like that car fell off the bling tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Thise monitors are probably there because its a show car......doesn't make it any less fugly though.

I think that is a Toyota Soarer from Japan. those cars are not cheap. Right hand drive too. what a waste of a nice car. Here is a better one

yeah, btw Dayle from motorsports warehouse has a soarer...

those do sorta look like eD 15 or 12s... only with a logo somehow stamped into the cone... weird

the logo says Earthquake, they appear to be the Magma series which means $400 to $500 each, 12" and 15" respectively.

while this car looks tacky (IMHO), no expense seems to have been spared in making it so.

toyota soarer in japan = lexus SC400 in america

limited motor options in america.. japan gets a twin turbo straight six (same as skyline i believe), but we can get a v6 or a v8, both rwd.. nice cars, my friend has a v8..

Actually the Toyota Soarer/ Lexus SC does get a twin turbo straight six in Japan - but not from the Skyline GT-R, but the Toyota Supra. The Soarer/Lexus SC/ Supra are all built on the same platform and manufactured by Toyota.

*slaps forehead* d'oh! stupid mistake.. i knew that..

but wait.. doesn't the supra get a V6 and the skyline gets a straight6?

[Chiketkd]

You're going to kick yourself alacrity024...but the Supra has an inline 6. Check out the following review by Road & Track:

Road and Track '93 Supra Article

In the specs section they state it's an inline six, but if you look at the very last picture on the bottom page, it shows a long straight six engine under the hood!

P.S. The skyline gets a straight six as well.

the skyline is kinda strange in the fact that its a "slant six" basically all at i think a 60 or so degree angle, and i think its so the turbo plumbing was easier to set up... but i'm not really sure
