Im two and a half minutes into a car video and I still haven't heard an engine.

wtf!

[kint909]

@EclipseGS04 Thanks for straightening all that out with INCORRECT info. "...all Corvettes OWN the Nissan GT-R..."????? Are you missing a dose or what???! That's the most absurd comment I've seen yet. The ZR-1 is a power-heavy, nearly impossible to drive beast that pulls hard, but that's about it. Have you ever DRIVEN a GT-R? It's my daily driver, so if you have, I'd then give your overly broad generalizations a tad more credence. Otherwise, prepare to eat GT-R dust!!!!

Maybe could have used the second "intro" for the intro to Gran Turismo 5 instead.

@AccordGTR Japanese has plenty fast cars, we import some! They are just electronically limited to 160 to 180kpm, BECAUSE of there laws! FACT

@EclipseGS04 I know what a Ricer is but I don't make fun of them cuz they are car lovers just like us. To each his own...

You should not get caught up in the numbers because every car is different, even if they are the same model. People don't really understand about how power is generated and measured anyway. The only thing that matters IMO is who wins races or breaks lap records and whether or not you can really drive. I don't like bench racing or pissing contests. LOL

@EclipseGS04 Not sure what is Japan's most popular sports cars but they also like European supercars. There's even have a Ford GT racing in Japan Super GT. LFA is too limited/expensive so I would say the GT-R is #1. But because of price I think the Type R's & S2000 are still popular. Japan has sportscars nobody else in the world gets. And their premium gas is the highest octane in the world. Philippines gets 100 octane in certain stations. I think Japan gets 102. US only gets, what, 96 octane?

@EclipseGS04 I live in the Philippines but I have a Japanese girlfriend. hehe. I used to race in the Philippine Touring Car Championships in a Honda Civic SIR race car. We have a couple of Japanese engineers who work and advice us. I lived 10 years in the US where I learned about cars. I had a 67 Camaro RS convertible among many cars I owned. I only got into Honda's here cuz they are the best circuit platforms to race, both in cost and speed. I specialize in race car set-up and ECU tuning.

@AccordGTR So do you live in Japan now? I know some people that used to live there. I wouldnt mind going there once just to see what it is like. The electronics stores would be kool im sure. So what is Japans most popular sports cars right now? I'm guessing Nissans...I wish Mitsubishi would design a new sports car finally.

@EclipseGS04 Japan's roads are not like the US for one thing. It's better to have smaller, nimbler cars than big heavy powerful cars in Japan. u define "fast" as top speed, 0-60 and magazine tests. Sorry but that's not what the real world is all about. In the US, drag racing is more popular than circuit racing. But in Japan, racing drivers are treated like football or basketball stars. Driving skill and car set-up can make up a huge difference in power. It's a different culture.
