who says its not sexy. DAMN man its like porn for CAR Lovers(:

[FantastyckplastycK]

japanese cars, not to mention american ones, don't even come close to the absolutely perfect mix of performance and design of german cars!

[Trubyd44]

@FantastyckplastycK blah, blah...Germany does everything better, one of the biggest 'red herrings' ever!

[FantastyckplastycK]

@Trubyd44 is that so?! im ready to hear your arguments, which i assume are nonexistent or irrational..

[Trubyd44]

@FantastyckplastycK They are not nonexistent. If you would have said your argument besides [being a] 'Porshe.' Anyway, 2 personal problems with Porshe, my buddy had a boxster and the window/top leaked and leaked, he traded it in on a Supra TT back in 97. Second issue is a local dealership has had two Carerra's and they both had slight transmission misses. The latter is second hand info, but I think was gets me is that everyone 'believes' BMWs and Porshe's don't have any flaws.

[Trubyd44]

@FantastyckplastycK All manufacturer's have flaws, I think what struck me badly about your comment was your 'as a matter of fact' attitude that obviously a Nissan could never be as good as a Porshe. If you would have said you preferred a Porshe, then OK...but to say that any Porshe can outperform the GT-R...it is just not true. ...and for half the price. I don't know about quality and such, because I've owned neither a 911 Turbo or GT-R, I just talk about what I have experienced myself.

[FantastyckplastycK]

@Trubyd44 well, of course german cars have problems too, i've had 3 beemers over time and at the moment am driving a clk and sometimes they fuck up too.. i've never had a japanese car because just their looks repel me badly.. and by the way how many super cars (sport cars) do japanese have?! what are their pedegrees? what have they achieved in motorpsort? all this adds up to the conslusion that..

[FantastyckplastycK]

@FantastyckplastycK there is no tradition of building supercars in japan, they have no appeal and overall they are irrelevant! However.. this does not automatically mean that new GTR is going to be crap too, i hope it has some class and that finally something can challenge the reign of germans in the business of building decent cars!

[Pablito1512]

@FantastyckplastycK .....My friend in matter of motorsport you have to do a very big research, because Japanese sporst cars have put their names in history in every category of racing that comes to mind. Honda providing championship winning engines during the 80' s and 90' s in formula 1. Team BAR Honda. Honda NSX has three appereances in 24 Hours Of Le Mans and the Super GT Category.The Mazda RX-7 has won more IMSA races in its class than any other model of automobil

[Pablito1512]

@FantastyckplastycK .......Mazda is the only team from outside Western Europe or the United States to have won Le Mans outright and the only non-piston engine ever to win Le Mans, which the company accomplished in 1991 with their four-rotor 787B . The following year, a planned rule change at Le Mans made the Mazda 787B ineligible to race anymore due to weight advantages. What about the Toyota Supra TT in drag racing, Touring, Rallying, , IMSA, Le Mans, JGTC/Super GT, NHRA, NDRA

[Pablito1512]

@FantastyckplastycK ....Nissan Skyline GT-R history of racetrack dominance began with its 50 victories scored from 1968–1972, including 49 consecutive wins in the Japanese race circuit. Nissan pulled out of racing shortly after the release of the KPGC110. In the UK, Andy Middlehurst took the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) to two consecutive championship wins in the National Saloon Car Cup, and the list goes on and on. So in matter of racing Japanese cars have a name in history

[Pablito1512]

@FantastyckplastycK .......You can buy a 1998 Toyota Supra TT, or a 2001 Nissan Skyline GT-R V Spec II. Later spend some money on them and you can kick the ass of any German sports car.
