they are not illegal but can be easily tuned up to the point where they are not considered street legal.
Like pretty much any car on the market. Street legal is iffy these days.... some cars pushing 700 - 900 hp are considered street legal.

true but not all of them are Awd.(refering to skyline)LMAO...you can speed in the rain.sometimes it sucks having FWD besides the fact its better on gas consumption and its harder to lose control but i've driven RWD and it felt WAY different..

The Skyline is only illegal b/c it wasn't made here. It can be made into a legal car for U.S. roads if you go through the proper paper work.
