Turbo GONE... whats next

Well this week they finally take the turbo back.. Porsche is giving me a GREAT DEAL of compensation and so now its time to find a new toy.. I am stuck between the two:

1. An older 996tt
2. A legal R32 Skyline

The skyline would have about 1k hp. as i am taking parts off my other one to build this one..

But i feel i might have turbo issues. cause i LOVE MY TURBO... Its so nice.. So sexy.. What do you guys feel.. Should i go back into a turbo right away or go play with the skyline..

No i cant do both..not as lucky as some of you are.. But always open for donations.. .. LOL

I don't know about faster, but if you already have a skyline, get the 996.

This is just my opinion but why would you want an old japanese car over a 911 turbo. No brainer.

um... seriously you must not know much about the GT-R.. It has a much better drivetrain in my opinion. Being that it puts 100% of the power to the rear until it slips and can put upto 50% of the power to the front wheels.. Also its electronically controlled so you can adjust the ratio how ever you feel.. Also the car has a top speed STOCK 215 or so, after the limiter is taken off.
