The roads were rarely traveled, but you never know.

I think you'll end up finding yourself moving up the ranks pretty fast, may be in black by sunday?



Here is a partial video.

I purchase all my cars in cash as I don't like feeding the smelly, inflation-boosting, interest monkeys that plague society.

You seem to be telling me that the US dealers post stickers that exclude tax. That's different to the UK. The price on the car is the price you pay here. Your dealers need to learn maths by the sounds of things. Bloody hell.... prices that exclude tax.... wooden houses.... what am I dealing with here? It's like a bloody colony or something.....

Your point was still irrelevant, as we were discussing factory cars.

"My friend I am well more educated...." F*cking hell. We need to build some schools on this colony, fast! If you even own a car, the educational-social hierachy has failed in a catastrophic manner.

Holy ****, heavychevy is no longer the dumbest person on the board. Congratulations!!! Consider the fact that I am replying to you as a charitable affair. It was God's intention that I spend some time with the under privileged. I must have committed some dreadful wrongs in a previous life.

Z07. What's the point of this 'colony' crap? You're having a good battle with a couple of people here and everyone is giving as good as they get, you're all adults and can give and take to each other. But starting a general US slagging off is just pathetic and frankly makes you look immature. Nobody so far has taken an anti-UK stance when arguing with you.
I'm from the UK and get totally p*ssed off with the constant US bashing that goes on in this country, please leave it out of this thread.

Z07 cant come up with anything decent anymore because his AUTOMOTIVE knowledge is paltry and magazine related at best, so he resorts to attacking the Americans and our education system. LOL.

This is going to be the best thread of the year!!!! Reminds me of "Festivus" and the "airing of the grievances."

So wait, I'm confused. Do you already have a new GT-R or do you have one on order?

As for Z07 and the others.. When you GROW UP....come back to the forum... you guys are like little kids that really have no clue.. and the fact you go to other forums to get your information means that your just a forum junkie.. GET A LIFE.

You have good knowledge, but man you need to work on your delivery. You sound worse then any of those others you mentioned. Which is a shame, because you do know your ****.

I have a clue about the gtr and I am from state side, yes I do some know some people with R32 R33 R34 state titled. Rode and Drove all of them. Yet to ride or drive the Newest GTR. R32 is my personal favorite. But if I had my choices It would be R31 GTS-R. I just love that car.

AS FAR AS THE IDOT THAT CALLED ME A TOOL...

I feel for you. I use to feel the same way you did..Jealous. As I use to be a kid without a license with the dream of owning the cars I had hanging on my walls. Then I grew up. Got a License. Owned a good size company, and now play with the toys i had on my walls.

Yes, it is true I am not a man of great words. But i am a man of great knowledge. Truth is there is NO ONE ON THIS BOARD. with the knowledge like i have on the GTR..

The truth is this.. I would take the Turbo over the new GTR for many reasons.

1. Turbo can come in stick.. (argue all you want.. STICK RULES.. unless you got 1khp and a dogbox.)

2. Traction. (The Drive.. the new GT-R does feel heavy. It doesnt pull out of the turn like the turbo does.)

3. Interior (I swear i hated the new 997 vs 996 interior. But the GTR Interior is far from anything to rave about.)

4. Style (HANDS DOWN... Turbo smacks the look of the new GTR)

Other than that... i shall be owning both very soon..

AS FOR MR. Z07

Lets meet.. Lets put your car knowledge to a test. For instance.. WHERE DOES NISSAN GET ITS TECHNOLOGY FOR THEIR TRANSMISSION....

Well let me INFORM YOUR THICK HEADED EGOCENTRIC BRITISH BUTT... The R32-R34 transmission was derived from the 959.. A PORSCHE...

The new GT-R transmission was derived from BUGATTI.. A PORSCHE OWNED company.

Futhermore.. Lets see who NISSAN aimed for their target.. Out of the dozen or so supercars.. They had choose to target the Porsche Turbo.. As around the world the Porsche Turbo is seen as a monumental feat of technology.

Lets furthermore think about the comparison between the 996 vs R34 GTR.. Every record the R34 held.. WAS BROKEN BY A 996 TURBO.. GOSH GO FIGURE THAT..

At the end of they day you buy what makes you happy.. Me nor anyone else on this board will make a full influence on ones car purchase. We can contribute to their questions and give them opinions. But its up to you to spend the money and make the choice.
