You've got to compare apples to apples. A std Ferrari against a std skyline head to head and it will be close. Unless off course your setting it up against all the hairdresser models from the 80'ties

If you compare Nissan's topmodels like the R32, back then the F40 was Ferrari's King
But keeping up with an F40 in a Skyline isn't going to be easy on the straights, although in the corners an F40 can really bit you in the ass

I respect ferrari for the flamboyant marque it is, and the Skyline is the pure underdog.
And because I like underdogs I love my R32 gtr
And I also think that with the new R35 some off it's original "undercoverness" is lost. So the R35 doesn't appeal to me as much as all the previous Skyline's...
