It can be just as bad over here. People think Vipers are the masters of the universe. They also think hummers are bitchin-fast.
One guy thinks his Ford Power Stroke is super-fast. He had the dumbassedness (can we make that a word??) to suggest it would be faster than a 200hp 323 GTX (0-60 in low 6s). Oh well. Life goes on

Welcome to my world Chris, I live in kentucky and if I was lucky enough to have a GTR here, people would pull up next to me in trucks with glasspacks and rev it up. Also all the wanna be street racers in camerys with no mods accept for a tip big enough to fit my head into would pull up and try to run me. Oh well, to bad I don't have a GTr or I'd spank um all

lmao Gonthrax. I know the feeling---I'm in Tulsa, OK. I'd have a bunch of hicks w/ their glasspacks in their 1970 Ford Pickups trying to rev at me! They'd probably think I was driving a "kit-car" or something. There are so many people here that I do SCCA racing with that don't know what the Skyline GT-R is. I've even been asked what model of Honda my 240SX is! Damn this state sucks when it comes to cool cars.

well guys if i could actually modify my car i would because it only has 69 bhp and a top speed of 100 mph.... my sentra can however eat old minivans for lunch and compete with grandma anyday
i might just go and have an identity crisis and put a GT-R emblem on the front grille and try to pass it off as an R-31...people where i live don't know about Skylines other than the ones in Gran-Turismo...then i'd see my car on the home page of www.beaterz.com or something

69 hp, stunning!
I so want a crappy-looking car, so I can blow away hicks in trucks. That would taste soooo sweet. |

Well, maybe the massive carbon deposits in the engine has bumped the compression, helping you to make a little more power

Hey folks-
I was talking to Nissan insiders this past weekend (in Japan), and I am convinced that we're going to see the RB26DETT for a long time. I know there are folks out there who will say otherwise, but we shall see. Dale SKR Performance Located somewhere under the sun |

Car manufacturers always have something going on with design/test of things such as engine platforms, structures, ergonomics. Playing with these does not necessarily mean that is what we'll see as a production model/option. In the automotive industry, things are designed and tested oftentimes 2-3 years in advance prior to any release. This allows them to do many types of analysis, such as cost, efficiency, durability, drive-to-failure, etc. The RB26DETT is a proven platform. If they modify it in anyway, add new features, etc., it would not surprise me.
I'm just happy to hear that the US is "under heavy consideration" for the GT-R. Off the record, I think foreign car makers have realized that the US is ready for performance-based vehicles on par with what is in Japan and Europe. We have demonstrated over the past 10 years that we are worthy and can support the burgeoning sports car market. I think the next move needs to come from our banking sector to bring about a 10-12 year car loan that will allow most of us to obtain financing to be able to buy what each of us thinks is the best out there. If the Japanese and Euro carmakers see this, we will see more from them. Of course we have DOT to contend with, but we've all have lived with DOT for years. So what if my R35 will carry an additional 250-300 pounds of stuff the DOT deemed was necessary to ensure my safety and the safety of the environment, as long as you don't give me the "second best option".
