The 2nd was at the drag strip where a 3ft. Asian man had the same attitude and was running really good times. It was an AMS built car though. So far I have come across nothing but d-bag, I'm better than everyone owners. Maybe that's the reason I want to turbo my car.

There are some really nice guys in socal with em.

they're all great cars. Frankly it comes down to personal preference. I don't personally base my sole performance evaluation on how fast it does 1320 ft. It's a good measure of the cars power, but I need something that turns corners too and the GTR changes direction like a housefly. They are unreal.

You'll never have one car that is the fastest in a straight line AND on the track. Except mabye the Veyron SS haha but you need a couple mil to take one home. (anyone see it blitz the top gear track? 1:16.... it looked like a cartoon. unreal)

And about 400X uglier. I don't care how much they cost or how fast they are, I'd still buy something that didn't look like a hunk of dog poo.

The first time I saw one in person, was when I got a ride in the pink camaro for the first time..........

I think I'm the only one that noticed the GT-R. Everybody was staring at the pink camaro.

I don't think they stand out to much but I think the GTR doesn't look bad.

i think it looks cool.

I saw a GTR at the dealership when i bought my wife's pathfinder, it was black and they wanted 90k for it, i thought it was insanely awesome, then i bought my camaro a week later lol

How big are them exhaust tips? I love that ass haha

The GTR fanboys have spent too much time playing Gran Turismo on the Playstation.

I just can't get all that worked up over it. The car has more than respectable performance but there are lots of cars out there that would impress me more if I saw it on the road. The GTR is an "Uber-Ricer" that does a lot of things really well but at the end of the day....it's still a ricer.

Are you still living in the 60's or just your car? What about the GTR exactly makes it a 'ricer' according to you?

i dont think its ricer at all. i think he is just using the term out of context and using it as a derogatory term for something japanese. the gtr never reminds me of anything "fast and furious"

nice

if i had that coin i'd get a Viper

I agree, and I think that this can be said for 99% of Japanese cars. They are all appliance like. Still, the performance is great.

But the consistency and control of AWD would give it better times more often, but it wouldn't have the same potential as a RWD corvette.
