they could make a dragger that would smoke the both of them in the half price.. so what, porsche offers style and gr8 performance that can beat the gtr in stock and many more futures that you can fill only in a porsche , if you wanna buy a gtr and spend the whole bugged to make the engine faster with out thinking about consumption or anything else go do it, the girl would still go to the porsche

[DavidYu2007]

@asvestomixZ The one thing girls really go for is a man who thinks too much about the "bugged" and consumption... ;)

Bring a tractor you've tuned to be faster than the GT-R to 196mph for less than what it cost me to tune my GT-R. BTW, straight line speed? Least relevant factor to a GT-R's performance if you know anything...

[anthonyjriz3]

this isnt unfair seeing how the tuned gtr is prolly the same price as stock porsche

[DavidYu2007]

@anthonyjriz3 Hardly! GT-R cost £53,500, mods cost £6k, so £60k all in. Turbo S is more than twice that.

gtr better computers

@Hallelujahkay yes the stats are true but about the looks? The gtr just looks like a toyota with a spoiler

[mcmanus1806]

@DavidYu2007 one HUGE questions, is why not go for the Switzer p800 package, seems to be the best performance for money and it kills everything, just losing to a veyron? and its only £18,000 im sure if you can afford a £53,000 GTR you can squeeze out some more haha :P

@RM1989m Forget about F1s

[RM1989m]

@asvestomixZ I still don't understand what you mean by race cars. A race tuned GTR can beat race tuned Ferraris and Porsches in certain circuits. It won't beat an F1 car..but nothing beats an F1 car except another F1 car. The GTR however is more than capable to keep up or even beat cars that cost 2x/3x/4x as much in a circuit.

[asvestomixZ]

@RM1989m Yes it is a very successful car for sure, and quite good for its category but it would have no luck against race cars.. in fact the only thing it is same with the gtr and other cars like gt3 against their race versions is the exterior, their engines are modified to consume much smoother fuels and they are much more lightweight

[ganjangman]

another gtr crap.

i'm getting sick of this...

[RM1989m]

@asvestomixZ Well of course there's a huge difference. An F1 car will beat any commercial car. But that is not a fair comparison is it? I am saying the GTR (even R32/3/4) always performed very well in competitions in their own categories. I am talking about real competitions like the GT500. The GTR was always successful in racing and that is a fact.

[asvestomixZ]

@RM1989m i mean against real race cars not commercial ones. there is huge difference between

[RM1989m]

@asvestomixZ Of course it would. It already did actually a number of times. As did its predecessors before it. You think they nicknamed it Godzilla for fun? The GTRs were banned from competitions or had weight penalties to keep things competitive. The GTR always was one of the fastest cars around a track.
