What's the car that turns YOUR head?

That is a poor example on so many levels. First, all cars in front of him have a higher ride height for a reason. Second, how the hell you suppose to steer that thing on tight corners without the tires rubbing? You've see the guy pull out of the spot and was barely able to turn the wheel. 
Why does the guy have a mk2 car with mk1 tails(accident maybe?) but also the center exhaust on a MK2 "Cup" car model(if it really is one). Also, just because you have a cup car(or replica) on a track doesn't mean you know what you're doing/are good driver/posts fast times. How much do you figure that guy has on suspension travel? How do you propose he gets around bumps on a track without totally upsetting the car's balance from hitting the bumpstops? If he's running a really high spring rate to limit suspension travel then that kind of setup would at most be only tuned for 1 specific type of track. IMO, this guy has track poser written all over it just like the first example you posted. 
Let's just say that those cars might look cool and turn a few heads getting back on the original topic.
However past that in terms of track time performance and the fact that the owners of them could be tools is another debate.
I sense maybe you were part of the VW/Audi Eurostretch/Poke/Pull crowd at one point?

Anyways back on topic, here's a good one.

Yeah, I did learn something.
I learned that talking about a front splitter wether it's painted or not is such a small issue for me to read a whole paragraph that one man wrote. He thinks that, I think this. Done....
You need to learn that you're not Alpine003. You also need to learn to mind you own business, excuse me back.
Like I said back to the topic.

I see you have a R35 nice car man. I hope it's an Australian version. Not bad when you consider Japanese-spec cars are restricted to 180km/h when not at a racetrack and US-market cars are electronically reined in at 155MPH. I sensed that you're a track guy. How's the transmission on your R35? Launch control system has been revised for 2009 after several early model R35s lunched their gearboxes after using the old launch control setup. The result is a slightly softer launch and a marginally slower 0-100 time. I just never get why they would design an All-Wheel Drive with launch control. In the end it's a nice and fast car.

Are you implying that the USDM GT-R's are somehow limited?
At no point were they ever limited - EVER (other than redline limited - fuel cutoff around 6800rpms or so in 6th gear at approx 195mph). What on Earth is the relevancy of this anyway?
