I already said about the money. Also, GT-R is a $45k car new, comparing manufacturer prices.

There really is a reason why Corvettes, Camaros and Stangs are cheap. Sit in one, then sit in one of the nicer mobiles, and you will start to know. Then go and drive them.

I just drove a C5 Vette yesterday, again, and IMO that thing is a bit overpriced. Sure you get performance and it looks good, but... the car itself is quite bad, handles bad, very restless and slobby, and is uncomfortable. Not the type of car I would buy.

I'm not biased, I could have bought just about anything with a reasonable price tag. R32 GT-R, still under $40k even here, with superb handling and easily modifiable engine was my type of car.

I'm not a person that likes drag racing so Mustang was something I never considered once I test drove it. Camaro, shitty handling, interior, feel. C5 the same. Porsche, too much money. Ferrari, too much money for too little performance. Supercar performance for reasonable price only left me with two choices, GT-R or NSX. NSX is not easy to modify so that was left out. I was left with Skyline GT-R. Legendary and a proven winner on race track, easily modifiable engine, what else was there to consider?

That's it is why I am leaving the dark side. sami otherwise referred to as "Solo," and R33 "Yoda," have shown me the errors of my way. I first must travel across the Atlantic Aqua Boundary to England(Dantuee). And receive my Jedi training. Then once I have completed my training I will be able to get my first land speeder(GTR). I will be bring the FORCE with me, being the RB26DETT. Oh yeah.

Thank you, Yoda. I will try my best to conquer the dark side that rages in me. I know that if I do not I will be left behind in a cloud of Alderon dust particles.

I'm new here, but nobody has been able to touch my stang, import or domestic. I hit 237mph on the GPS (SCARY as hell even with my suspension and body kit, by the way.) Anybody know what the top speed they've gotten a skyline up to is? I built my car for 100 mph roll-ons against bikes, so I've got a little bit of top end power. What do I have to do to bring a euro spec skyline over to usa?

I don't even know where to start...

Yes, I do. THIS THREAD IS DEAD! Please start a new thread or post to a current one. This one was over two years old.

As for the ridiculous content of the post, I won't even touch that.
