With all level 1 performance parts, it will go up to 189 mph with no nitrous, but with it the Skyline has the potential to reach 200+. The Skyline's acceleration and handling for a B-class is only beaten by the Mazda RX-7, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and the Audi S5, albeit by a minimal amount. It is very fast and can match higher up cars (most, if not all, B-Class and A-Class cars) when driven properly. Prior to unlocking, this car is seen at the wager races at the Mack's Burger hangout or randomly in later street races. The 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-SPEC is a B-class Group 3 Tuner that is unlocked later in the game. Once unlocked, however, most would probably buy this over the Elise because it can be tricked out in the body shop unlike the Lotus which only feature wheel customization. It is essentially the opposite of the Elise, because of it's stiffer handling and slightly higher top speed. It is the top C tuner, alongside the Lotus Elise if one looks at the stats. In-game, it is depicted as a RWD car, but its handling is virtually identical to an AWD car. In Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, it appears as a Class C Tuner that is unlocked late in the game due to the limited club races allotted in each city (4 in San Diego and Atlanta and 5 in Detroit), as well as the fact that by the time Detroit is unlocked the player would already be using Class B Tuners with Level 1 upgrades. 2 Performance (Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition).
