VW_Redliner... BMW's are nice... something about german engineering that is just well its great Personally if your going for bang for buck... buy a car in the states (that you dont need to import) that you can get parts or modifacations done to easily... like a supra or rx7 or eclipse or something....

Forsteen haha im from Houston lived there for 10 years... I dont know what the national bird of texas is!!! haha oh but i do know what the flower is

Shell... well put

Razor... hmmm want to read my post again?? I have heard you say exactly the same thing before...

I said in my post ..." a GTR" maybe I should have pronounced, enlarged, accentuated, the "a" meaning ANY GTR, not specifically the one in the movie.

About the NOS thing, the Supra or the Skyline don't need it to do 9's it is just a movie hype thing.

I have watched some Thai DVD about street racing, it's alot better than F&F. The main cars are an EVO vs WRX. It is also alot older than F&F.
One thing about that movie, people actually crash and die, the guys Girl Friend dies in a race....

On the EVO he has a big NOS setup that is all computerised similar to F&F, and he only uses it at the very end to beat the WRX, the car starts to blow up and he goes to turn it off but he will loose and his new chick makes him keep it on and he wins

I will never nitrous my car. I just see that as a waste of time and money. Plus you have to canstantly do stuff to you constanly have to do things to your engine so it doesn't get "F"ed up.

I think I'm gonna try to get an M3 or a 328 BMW

What do you have to do constanly to the engine so it doesn't get messed up? Once N2O is set up, its the best bang for the buck. Its a great way to spool up, decrease intake charge temp, with a 100 shot not to hard engine components. Now if your talking 150 and up, there is a lot more to the set up to get it tuned and to prevent that engine from going "POP". I am planning a 8.5 comp ka24det with 12psi and a 100 shot.

Forsteen - acutally the examples you gave are not the same.
He asked what was faster when 'suped up' - you cant really answer that now, can you? Fastest GTR in world VS fastest surpa in the world in what? Circuit, drag, top speed? What level of suped up? It is an IMPOSSIBLE question to answer.

I have time for people who would ask, "do all skyline have turbos", or "is a skyline made by nissan" because these are questions you can answer, im all to happy to help and answer.

Shell - you know im always joking with ya! Wait till ya see someone piss me off in person...

I know that was a question that would not have an immediate answer. A lot of cars are just shells of the original. Different engines and totally different parts. It was just a question. Everyone has curiosities. I think a simple "The cost is in direct correlation to how fast you want to go.", would have solved this whole meaningless babble about who is stupid or not.

No disrespect to anyone.
