Re: Went and did a little car shopping today...

skylines are nice cars, but by todays standards, its not that impressive stock.

the R32 weights less than an EVO or STi, so its definitly not that heavy. its also not that big in person either. the R33's however look like whales in person.

yes you can say that a 335i can run that same time with mild bolt ons, but you gotta remember that the R32 is almost a 20 year old car.

the most impressive thing about the GTR in my opinion is the AWD system. it doesn't rob the power all the time like a torsen diff found in Audi's or EVO's.

its only AWD when its too. My co worker can kick the tail out on his GTR at will. the thing handles like a RWD car but with a shit load more gripe. off the line you'll see the rear wheels spin for half a second, then the torque gets sent to the front wheels and it just takes off like a bullet. from a highspeed roll on race where the AWD would hinder the EVO's and STi's performance, the GTR is RWD when it doesnt' need the extra traction.

awesome system esp for such an old car.
