[kppk1986]

11sec quarter, 3.5sec 0-60, and ran the Nrburgring Nordschleife in 7min and 38sec a hair slower than the carrera gt, and under $80K :eek: !!

Uhhhh perfect 50:50 weight ratio due to a rear mounted transmission. I'd hit it

[kppk1986]

Uhhhh perfect 50:50 weight ratio due to a rear mounted transmission. I'd hit it
Its only 50/50 under acceleration :taun: .

[Kevykev]

It makes me Proud!

[VooDooXII]

Impressive machine...ugly package.

[nreggie454]

Uhhhh perfect 50:50 weight ratio due to a rear mounted transmission. I'd hit it

Not to bash the GTR (since I think it is sick), but a rear mounted transmission to get 50/50 weight ratio isn't new technology.

[81911SC]

^^^ No joke.

[allmotoronly]

its just called the Nissan GT-R, not skyline GT-R. A lot of websites are incorrectly calling it the skyline GT-R. Look at Nissan's website. Its called just the "GT-R". It doesnt say skyline on the car anywhere.

[VooDooXII]

I think they're just doing that just so they can say, "We've kept the Skyline out of the US."

[DrivenMind]

It's cute, but the flares in the rear could be bigger, and it should stop seeing the Evo's dental surgeon.

[1000cckiller]

It's cute, but the flares in the rear could be bigger, and it should stop seeing the Evo's dental surgeon.Whateva, that **** is hawt.

[DrivenMind]

Eh it's sylish, but its not smooth.

It doesn't flow like the lines on a beautiful car should.

[VooDooXII]

:lmao:

[DrivenMind]

It's true.

[DC nismo]

all around great car

[OneSlow5pt0]

toyota's supercar will be the ultimate jdm machine when it hits the market

[VooDooXII]

toyota's supercar will be the ultimate jdm machine when it hits the market

Yup...we're waiting...

[OneSlow5pt0]

Yup...we're waiting...

you know the one.....the Lexus LF-A

[VooDooXII]

you know the one.....the Lexus LF-A

I want to see a reborn Supra though.

[Clegger]

id rather have a C6Z06

[OneSlow5pt0]

id rather have a C6Z06

ill take a Noble M400

[spacelion]

toyota's supercar will be the ultimate jdm machine when it hits the market

I can't wait to see the GT-R...BUT the LF-A is what I'm really waiting for.:idb:

[VooDooXII]

ill take a Noble M400

I'll do a gray market on a TVR Sagaris.

[OneSlow5pt0]

I'll do a gray market on a TVR Sagaris.

that lexus is gonna be the ****dizzle....Mid engine over 500hp V10 with lexus interior

[VooDooXII]

I hope it isn't as disconnected and boring as most Lexus' tend to be.

[OneSlow5pt0]

I hope it isn't as disconnected and boring as most Lexus' tend to be.

i think it will be a great car....plus it puts the GTR to shame in performance and looks
http://www.lexus.com/fcv/lf_a.html

[VooDooXII]

The LF-A certainly looks bad-ass. I'd like to see how it turns out.

[kingkong]

If anybody wants one straight from Japan here ya go:

I think the LF-A will be incredible, but I don't think it'll knock the GT-R as hard as you're describing. The GT-R has more track/racing roots than the LF-A. But we'll see what happens.

[ATK_Designs]

I think so too. Considering the new IS-F is pretty darn dissapointing. Fake quake muffler tips, and dynoed just a hair better than the regular IS350.

I hope that LF-A will not be dissapointing. I'm too looking forward to it.

But at the same time, I doubt it will give the GT-R a run around, especially for the price the LF-A is aiming at (120K-ish). With about 40K more than the GT-R at least, I'm sure that something can be done with that money to the GT-R to make it greater than the LF-A.

[man]

The GT-R has more track/racing roots than the LF-A.

Other than Toyota's F1 team, Indy team, open-wheel series, Nascar teams, etc., you are correct.

[Z33_kid]

i tink its sex on wheels

[Turbo Terrance]

What about the Evo X & the New Camaro????? N E one waitin on that???

[VooDooXII]

New Camaro...there were multiple threads on that after Transformers came out.

Can't wait for that one.

[DrivenMind]

What about the Evo X & the New Camaro????? N E one waitin on that???

eh... The Evo looks like the Juggernaut punched it in the face.

[OneSlow5pt0]

eh... The Evo looks like the Juggernaut punched it in the face.

like the GT-R or TC

[spacelion]

I'm not talking about the manufacturers themselves, I'm talking about the models...the GT-R is pretty much Skyline heritage and is made for out-of-the-box racing whereas the LF-A will be more like "go fast with luxary." Sorry, I worded my idea wrong...

[1000cckiller]

Yup...we're waiting...for another half century

[Kevykev]

What about the Evo X & the New Camaro????? N E one waitin on that???



Yeah about 4 people!

I gotcha, the problem is the fact that all Toyota has to do is say "the LF-A needs to be faster than the GTR" and BAM it's done, they have too much money and too many racing engineers. They wouldn't even need to put that much effort into it.

if toyota wanted to build a 700k supercar that would smoke any production car,they probably could....but i think the LF-A will deff take the GT-R and the NSX

[kppk1986]

Yea but the LF-A will probably be over 150k and the GTR will cost less than 80K, its a super car on a budget. Id take the GTR, plus it has a racing pedigree.

[man]

plus it has a racing pedigree.

So does the Monte Carlo...

[kppk1986]

So does the Monte Carlo...
yea so does ferrari.

[OneSlow5pt0]

imo,the GTR is not a supercar......and as stated by fcman...toyota has a rich racing history

[kppk1986]

Not a supercar? :???:
11sec quarter, 3.5sec 0-60, and ran the Nrburgring Nordschleife in 7min and 38sec a hair slower than the carrera gt.

Please define for me what a supercar is......

[81911SC]

No, it's a hair faster then the Turbo. It will not beat the Carrera GT. Never.

Please define for me what a supercar is......


Zonda,XJ220,Enzo,Carrera GT,F40,F50,Diablo,S7,959,SLR,Veyron.......etc

do think the GTR should be listed with any of those?


performance is only part of a supercar......

[kppk1986]

the carrera gt ran it in 7:32.44, 7:38 is pretty damn close, and i never said it was faster than the carrera gt.

[kppk1986]

Is a Z06 not considered a supercar, a supercar isn't only defined by its price tag. And performance is the biggest part of a supercar.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i will never call a corvette a supercar unless callaway is in the name

[kppk1986]

Why? just because you dont like em. That isn't enough reason to not call a zo6 or a GTR a supercar, I dont like the diablo or the xj220 but they are supercars none the less.

[OneSlow5pt0]

the GTR and Z06 are neither classiflied as supercars...thier sports cars

[Kevykev]

Super cars have a vent (air duct) requirement too!

Take a look at the Saleen S7, amount of vents was taken into consideration when building.

(Funny but true)

exactly:goodjob:

[kppk1986]

The carrera gt doesnt have but two vents :tongue1: !

[81911SC]

I got your thread locked^^^ :goodjob:

[VooDooXII]

I got your thread locked^^^ :goodjob:

Ahh...that was a pretty nice car too.

[81911SC]

IDC lol

[On_Her_Face]

You sir, are a jackass. The Z06 is called the "Supercar Killer". Now would that make it a supercar?

If you answer yes, jump in front of a marta bus

If you answer no, you probably read the above

[Barefoot]

ill never have 1

[kppk1986]

If you answer no, you probably read the above

hmm lets think here, you said the zo6 was a supercar killer then wouldn't that imply that a the zo6 is atleast equivalent or maybe better than most supercars. Then doesn't that make a zo6 a supercar in its own right? Im sorry but ill jump in front of the marta bus.

[kppk1986]

I got your thread locked^^^ :goodjob:

thanks not really a big deal, but is there a reason your trying to get all of my threads locked?

[81911SC]

Yea, It's called rules. When you meet them, you will have no problem. This is a free listing as long as you meet a couple rules.

[kppk1986]

Yea, It's called rules. When you meet them, you will have no problem. This is a free listing as long as you meet a couple rules.

Dude calm down its been a minute since i posted on ia and i didnt know rules had changed, no need to try a finger me out like that. And did you want a pat on the back for getting my threads locked :gay: .

[81911SC]

No, I wanted dome. Now get to it.

[VooDooXII]

No, I wanted dome. Now get to it.

:lmao:!!!!!!!!

[kppk1986]

No, I wanted dome. Now get to it.

Your english is out of wack, dome what? You want me to pat your head and not your back?

[81911SC]

If my sig wasn't badass, I would put that as it for sure. LOLOLOL^^^

[VooDooXII]

Epic win...

[81911SC]

No, seriously that was amazing.

[kppk1986]

still not getting it but alright you win?

[81911SC]

Good girl.

[VooDooXII]

still not getting it but alright you win?

Actually...you win. I've never laughed so hard at something so simple.

How old are you by the way? That may play a part in this.

[black]

My thoughts on it are simple, its hideous and way over priced.

[kppk1986]

wow just got it...... damn i got pwned.....

[81911SC]

Quoted

[kppk1986]

Good girl.

Dude take that **** else where im not a chick.

[81911SC]

Dude take that **** else where ima chicka.
Huh?

[VooDooXII]

wow just got it...... damn i got pwned.....

Haha, go to sleep man...you're not thinking clearly.

[kppk1986]

My thoughts on it are simple, its hideous and way over priced.

Back on topic, overpriced? A carrera c4s is over priced. A nearly 500hp car that slaps the **** out of most cars for under 80k is a good deal.

[81911SC]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa sonnie. Don't go there.

[YokotaS13]

either way
The new skyline is a piece of ****

[kppk1986]

Huh?

thats some drop the soap stuff. Its okay you have a problem. Take it out on the kids and not on me.

[black]

Back on topic, overpriced? A carrera c4s is over priced. A nearly 500hp car that slaps the **** out of most cars for under 80k is a good deal.Just saying for a Nissan, and it's alittle over priced. IMO

[81911SC]

Here is a tricky one: Dome, give it to me.

[kppk1986]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa sonnie. Don't go there.
come on you got admit the c4s's are pretty over priced, especially when rwd drive ones are cheaper and faster.

[VooDooXII]

[kppk1986]

Just saying for a Nissan, and it's alittle over priced. IMO

true but still kicks ass.

[black]

true but still kicks ass.Im sure the car itself will be a very well built car all around. Just something I personally don't like, but maybe it'll grow on me once it's finally on the road, and I see one next to me. haha!

[81911SC]

come on you got admit the c4s's are pretty over priced, especially when rwd drive ones are cheaper and faster.
Here is the point















Here is your head.
The C4 is for somebody who wants awd. Not too be faster. The S only adds 30hp in either C2 or C4

[kppk1986]

Im sure the car itself will be a very well built car all around. Just something I personally don't like, but maybe it'll grow on me once it's finally on the road, and I see one next to me. haha!

yea i said the same thing about the new lambo's until I saw one scream past me on 75.

[kppk1986]

Still carrera's in general are overpriced for what they are. I wouldn't turn one down but I wouldn't take one over the new GTR anyday. And you decide a $80-90 grand for car w/ around 350hp or a freaking 500hp car that would eat it alive for under $80k.

[VooDooXII]

81911 gets ZERO DOME!

[81911SC]

I NEED DOME

[kppk1986]

NO DOME, ASK RUBY FOR SOME DOME!!!!!!

[81911SC]

LOL

[VooDooXII]

Ruby likes it in the rear.

81...did you get my Zero Dome post at all?

[81911SC]

No, I'm playing live. Hard to concentrate.

[OneSlow5pt0]

at the end of the day German cars > Japanese cars

germans are always on top of thier game....hell the only JDM car ever to win le mans had a german engine(but what a engine =)

[kppk1986]

yea i guess but have you ever worked on a german car, dumbest thing ever created. They make it stupid hard to fix anything.
