MotoRex imports Skylines to the USA:

As for other cars, I suggest you head out to the dealerships and see for yourself what you like. We could possibly help, but it's your call in the end, so you should see the options first hand.

What ranges of car are you looking at? (Coupe, Sedan, 2 seater, etc)

Don't even bother with a Skyline if you're in U.S.A mate. Might turn heads but you'll probably end up really disappointed. May I suggest one of the new Lotus Elises being imported into America? (Just look at Egg Nogs avatar and thats them!) I'm sure they would turn just as many heads as a Skyline.

Or move to NZ, where Skylines are as common as cheese

If you want something rare, the Skyline's a good bet. Getting it serviced will prove to be a nightmare, so unless you're mechanically inclined, I'd stay away from it. As far as I know, no cars were ever sold here with the RB motors or the AWD system.

There are tons of cars for under $90,000. If you want something truly unique, I'd recommend looking into a kit. A Noble with a twin turbo 3.0 Ford Duratec would do the trick (that's somewhere in the 400hp range- in something the size of a go-kart). Or you could pick up a Corvette and throw a Lingenfelter Stage 3 package on it. Those are usually good for 700+hp. Or buy a VW R32, send it to HPA Motorsports in Canada for their twin turbo setup and have them swap regular Golf bumpers on it for the ultimate in sleeper material.

$90k is a ton of money. You need to decide what you're looking for, and then maybe we can help you a little better.

I wouldn't say they'd be big, and they are only two seaters.. 6'1 should get you into a NSX I reckon.

And are you wanting a very comfortable car, or a more race inclinded no frills car.

e.g lets say you we're getting an Integra would you go for a fully optioned leather seated etc VTI-R or a stereo-free, no frills racing seat equipped Type R.

i'd probably want the leather my main thing is i want something comfortable and it has to be kinda sporty but i want to be underestimated so if i race someone i can kick there butt.

i think i might go with the boss mustang or some kind of m3 but i dont know that much about foreign cars i only really know about like vipers mustangas and corvettes
