Im board of having no money, so instead of worrying about it, im thinking of what i'll buy when i get some money.

 

I want something silly fast.

Im thinking of GTR's or Evo's...

 

What can you buy, £5000 or so that crazy fast, or can be made to go crazy fast easy enough??

I had a gts-t. Was knackered tho.

You say im a cnut for getting you started on tge Gtr's, thats what i called my mate for starting me off!

 

Problem with Skylines, nice ones are just too much money!

pod is 1/4 mile mate. so standing start :wacko:

 

i know but that just means you could bang on a set of slicks and give yourself half a chance!!!

I actually only said t-w-a-t, but the forum blocked it out, lol. And you really are because I'm considering financing a cheap one and doing all sorts of things and it's like this little sensible dude in the back of my head is yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

get a TVR cerebra. job done.

 

I hunted one down and kicked it's ass in................................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my wheel spinning Z!

oh right, thought he told me otherwise, cheers.

 

love the GTR, wanted on before the 300ZX but was put off by the ugly interior. but power wise. LOVE THEM.

 

im too into drift to have 4wd, yes they are immese and grip like fark, but less fun. and more about fundimentals.

 

I just realised, WTF! Ugly interior? You haven't looked inside an R32 have you? It's almost EXACTLY like the Z interior, same sort of dials, same dial surround, same centre console (Except in one piece, not two), same pretty much everything tbh, albeit slightly larger and slight smaller in various places. If you're talking about the R33 interior, yeah, FUGLY!

 

Just so you can see what I mean:

Granted this one was painted by Rose, but notice the same style pods, etc.

depends which one you took on... but doubt it tried too hard. as its 350kg + lighter than your car, more powerful and much better powerband than wheelspinning Z ( new name for ya car )

 

wishful thinking tho Alex :-)

Figures are only figures bud, nothing more. The guy was PISSED when I pass him and kept trying to catch me up all the way up to the village :D Look above for some skyline interior pics btw.

 

EDIT: Actually think it was a Tuscan, not a Cerbera, as I remember the post being called "Tuscan Hunting"

Then you don't like the Z interior? So your point about not buying a skyline because it had ugly interior is very odd to me, lol

but quick responding V8 and 350kg weight advantage...... no way would your Z32 have a chance.

theyre wayyyyyyyyy different mate, the Z interior is lovely wraps around the driver and passenger soooo nice. the skyline, yuck!

I think you've been looking at something other than a skyline, rofl. As for the Tuscan, I can only say what happened dude, I'm not a complete nut case driver like some either, but he was trying it on. See the V8 means absolutely bugger all, it doesn't give you more power because you have a V8, it gives you smoother delivery of the displacement. A fireball 8 (Straight 8) would kick the crap out of a V8 in terms of torque, which as I keep saying, is the key factor. It don't matter what your BHP is, your weight, your BHP/Weight ratio, if you haven't got the torque to back it up. I've been in a TVR and they're not THAT fast really, they just look it and sound it and have the paperwork. Without going into the list of cars I've had, I've driven just about everything from 800cc to a 5.3 V12, and the Z is one of the fastest and most powerful I've been in, mine is anyway.

The trouble with you Alex is that you are all bloody torque!! :tt2: lol

ROFL I have a lot of torque yes, I have more to me than that though I promise :D

now that is funny. a 300zx that isnt even running a bar of boost on standard turbos and 370cc injectors is FAST LMAO i like you mate, but that is puree jokes. god knows what your gonna think once you put the boost up to a bar.

Top man :thumbup::pint:

was that the m3 that hollowpoint beat in his 300zx in reverse. lol

 

oh and that veyron dont mean bugger all, its high hp but the torque is nothing compared to the titanic, now that thing was insanely fast not due to its hp but its immense torque. LMAO just kidding Alex.

I beat a veyron in my M3!

 

 

was that you..:tt2: i was gonna race until i saw M3 on the back, then i knew i was in trouble.:hang:

lol you'd have to go in it to understand. Having driven 3 Zs very recently, the grey one, the yellow one and Mikeys, Mikeys having brand new internals, hard pipes, uprated ECU, short shifter, paddle clutch, boost jets etc. the grey one having Mongoose, Mines ECU, Dual Induction kit, the yellow one having not much at all, other than a mongoose and a single HKS shroom filter, the grey one is DEFINITELY the fastest by a long shot. It's not that quick once it gets up to 60+, the couple of times Mikey and I put it to the test, I was going ballistically quick compared to him until about 60, then his overtook me almost effortlessly.

 

It's bizzare and I can't explain it, as I don't know if there is something done to my car or not. The previous owner told me it had a 70,000 mile re-con engine put in it when I bought it. Now the enginework was shoddy, overflow tank behind the battery, snapped and sheared bolts everywhere, threaded bolt holes in the plenum, air leaks galore etc. All of which is now sorted out, but he also said it had uprated turbos in it. Now the turbos from the outside look bog standard and having had a boost guage on it, I'm relatively sure it's running standard boost, however it does kick in VERY early in the revs compared to the other two, I can hear them spool up more than you can in the other two and theirs don't wheel spin whilst already moving, you figure it out, because you've got about as much info as me now, lol.

ROFL cheers lads, appreciate it :thumbup: :D

 

Jim, sure thing, I have just the one for you lot:
