Re: Dont mean to start a brawl, but the performance of the nissan GTR is simply staggering for its p
I have to agree with you. The GTR is a great car for the money.
If I was ever buying a super car, such as a 911 turbo, etc, I would just choose an R8 or the GTR.
I've always been fond of the Skyline R34s though.

just dont get people comparing cars on just 0-60 numbers and price...
why would anyone buy a ferrari or lambo? Its because porsches and now the r8 stirs a very fine trigger of refinement and raw power that many cars cant copy no matter how much hp or electronic gizmos they put into a car. Nissan (and all Japanese car companies) want to imitate then beat the germans, but never can come up with their own signature, original ideas. This is why a 911 turbo was always seen following the GTR around the Ring.

True - a friend in Malibu would not tell me how much OVER he had to pay
but he did have to pay "market adjustment" in order to get his (pre-ordered) car. You know, us low-ballers complain but the truly rich car guys don't really care about an extra $50k. My friend is the leading surgeon in a big practice and makes $100k - A WEEK!

R8 is yesterday's big news, now it's the GT-R
It's a vast conspiracy by the auto manufacturers and the auto magazines to make sure I end up living in retirement in a cardboard box

Re: Nothing has been proven yet, all Nissan specs so far, one magazine ring time is way slower than
The faster time was on cut racing slicks. Hardly street tires. The slower time was on street tires.
