nissan gtr should outclass it on the track... but the audi looks real nice.

they are also putting in the V10 from the gallardo, but with extra beef !!

That'll be very impressive, but I wonder how long it will take before someone puts a post up claiming they've burnt one off in their Zed! :rolleyes:

It's not the size of the dog in the fight etc etc

 

I recon a realy clever driver in a car with 200-300bhp can beat just about anything on the road in the hands of a typical driver. I've been in some fancy cars occasionally and the odd decent bike too and I think the quickest I've ever travelled along a twisty road was in an old 8v Cavalier.

 

Although we're not very typical - here in the madhouse. :tongue: :rofl: :duffer:

Me thinks not. German Iron is leaving the Jap Iron for Dead.

 

Nobody ever seems to answer why if the Skyline is such an all concering motor do it never feature in the GT class at Le Mans or any of the top sports car events. The Porsches and Lambo's are 4 wheel drive with fancy trick handling aids to stop it going about face every bend and some of the Spikers are 4x4 too. Do you really think that people would spend £50K to a £150K more if the Skyline was as competertive.

 

Skyline is a good car but it's not that good.

because its a nissan, wouldnt sound good at the country club when people are talking about their porsches, jag's benttlysw and so on, then some guy pipes up and says "oh i have a nissan"

 

fookin ell, they would spit their cigars into their brandy upon hearing such a statement lol

Then my self preservation instincts started me having Mrs Bobbett night mares.

 

Surely you'd wake up before she managed to find it? :D :rofl:

I bet you as much as you like that when the GTR is releast in the UK the golf club car parks will be where most will reside as does the 350z. + Race drivers can drive so the need something nible and agile that they have total control over not a big lardy Skyline who's computorised steering, supension etc makes the safest decision (not the Driver) and that is what made the Skyline legend. It is purely that the GTR Vspec versions allow poor drivers to go fast in the steet racing culture of Japan. The GT and GTS versions aren't as good as the Z for handling.

That the problem of not having fat legs. It's hard to distinguish between them unlesss she felt round the knee area. So it was really scarey in my dream because she manage to hold it in one hand while she cut with the other.

Sorry but i don't like the R8...... looks too much like a stretched TT....

 

The inside has too much aluminium and there's something a little obvious about it.

 

I saw an F40 two nights ago in West London by Gillette corner now that is a very special car.............sounded awesome!!!!!!

Very special car, but it'll cost a special price too.

I thought they were going to be £80K odd.

 

I was with a lad on Tuesday who's driven one. Said it went well.

but isnt the next gtr supposed to surpass the current 911 turbo on track? thats what i have been reading but not in any great length or detail mind u.

Looks like a modded TT

 

Don't like it much

Thats like comparing a Porcshe 911 turbo to a Beetle LOL ;) :rofl:

What ? for a F40??? :rofl:

 

I read the R8 was going to be £76K for the small engined car and about £85K for the full caffene.
