There's one point about the GT-R that's anti-imports that I would like to bring up though . . .
So the Japanese circuit cup's been going around for a while, and when the GT-R FIRST debuted, it ripped the competition apart!!!
It was insane since the Nissan team got 1st and 2nd by like 5 seconds for the first few races of the season. There's actually a legend in the GP cup that when Nissan debuts a new skyline, they'll win. that looked like it would happen again. EXCEPT, all of a sudden they were losing.
I really do think it comes down to the hand-made engines. Hand-made is, in car terms, just synonymous with breaking down easier. Now, yes, I saw the way that the engines are actually made all sealed and ****, but there has to be something wrong going on. We talked about the RX-7 before, I brought up the rotary engine. Amazing performance for a lower than average price--but terrible reliability.
Nissan is Japanese. Japanese = reliability and longevity in the Car world. But I just don't know if that translates for this as well. Really to be honest, my theory is that the HP for that car may be depreciating. No comformation on this yet, but how many GT-Rs have actually been put through these tests with the limiter on? How many owners actually can manage to put it to full throttle on a weekly basis?
Then again, I am a practicing pessimist, so I'm probably wrong by a lot >_> I also doubt I"m the only person that thinks this ****, so yeah. Just ignore this post.
And @ Coty, <_< I'm coming back in like 2 weeks? HIT ME UP SON! When you coming to OK anyway?

Also, trapping and cornering is the basis of camping . . . I actually don't see how the difference between saying "you're camping" and you're "cornering and zoning" . . . Meh, I'm done I guess this round. Kinda just wanted to post that before, but with all the Melee is dead talk and Brawl excitement, kinda wanted to put that there.

Corvette won in the street race >_> But GT-R beat the 430 . . . but not a regular 430 but the retardedly supped up version.

Anyone else excited about the new NSX? Honda apparently is making sure that the car must definitely be better than the GT-R in every way. That's a ******** goal LOL But the NSX has been the king of Japanese Super Cars for the longest time, and they're pretty pissed at Nissan's publicity. First time this car will come around though since like 2001? or somewhere around there when the last NSX model was released. Let's see what 7 years worth of technology and F-1 experience does for Honda. Really excited if they actually make an NSX better than the GT-R. To be honest, I'm so much more of a honda fan than anything else
