    If you look at that list the GT-R and C6 z06 vette are the only 2 cars that cost less than 100k from factory...consider how much more the viper acr costs than the gt-r and it only laps it 7 secs quicker...especially when the gt-r is in it's 1st model year of production, and the spec v isn't even out yet... O yeah, wheres honda on that list?

    You really are a tool. You come into my threads and get owned EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Do you ever get tired of being such an idiot. I actually consider myself pretty civil compared to the rest of the people on this forum but i just cant resist the opportunity to trashed upon you since you make it so easy.

    I remember i told you when you first got on go learn something before you post what ever. Stop being such a tool. Coming over here with some damn Maxima preaching the word of the GTR. I have driven real cars before and i've done it on the track, so what ever i say comes form fact or personal experience. You just like to shoot the sh!t out your mouth.

    ...lol you guys are idiots...You guys really like talking ****. I would def take the Gt-R over a any viper, whether the viper is faster or not. I just like GT-R's. I could care less about having the fastest car out there, because I don't have a small **** to compensate for. Simon and EJ, you guys try to act so smart and badass on here. If you guys really want to talk ****, let's meet up and handle this. I hate mother****ers with napolean complex's. You guys are the dumbass's, I'm just giving my opinion, you're the ones getting upset because I like the GT-R...Why does it bother you so much I like the GT-R? BTW the viper is ugly as ****...

    Instead of pointless banter. I want you to prove what you say.

    *How am I an Idiot?

    *Where am i talking ****?

    *So the guy driving the Viper around the Ring has a small penis?

    *So you are proposing "meeting" up about an internet debate?

    *I like the GT-R, I already said i do, so why would it bother me you like it?
    Nothing bothers me, it's that as a forum member i can post whatever opinion i want and, when i bring facts over your opinions, can usually prove you wrong.

    If your "opinion" is false cause facts say it is wrong, it is a disproven theory.

    Uh oh, Echo! lol

    This thread is here to talk about the Viper and it being the fastest around the track. If this thread were talking about ''what car you like a lot but isn't the fastest car'', you would fit right in. Geez, stfu and go make your own thread where you can make up useless sht.

    Bozzio for president.

    I HAVE MET YOU BEFORE I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT 50X NOW EVEN IN PM'S LOL.

    I obviously don't have a small ****, I have the balls to drive a Miata. And laugh at gay comments. If I had a small **** i'd probably drive something like a GTR.
