    you know when you can tell you got to someone when they resort to the grammar attack.. , you might be a little lost when they changed the Whoreslounge to off-topic, but its still there..

    If the GTR was allowed to be a drivers car instead of the fastest pentium, we wouldn't have this talk as i'd be defending the slower 6 speed R35 over the "im not talented enough to control the power so i need the car to do it and i brag about it later transmission."

    just because people prefer something over another doesnt mean its better or worse. i am willing to put money on it, the GTR wouldnt be able to do half of what it can do with a 6spd manual. To me thats all opinion, i understand people dont like it, but i also wont discredit it or count it against it for its performance. Of all the cars with gadgets/ paddle shifters what makes the GTR such a bad car for having it...thats what i dont understand

    I don't consider them mistakes. I think you're lazy or just confused to how the language works. Also, I if you think I'll leave cause you want me to.
    So about the GTR, What's the weight on that pos again?

    My issue isn't just with the GTR. It is also with Ferrari and Mercedes. They forgot what a manual was many years ago.

    And tech can't always solve the power issue. I know Top Gear isn't the best example but this really does hit the nail on the head.

    Brabus SL....Watch the car go through a corner and see the traction control literally make it shake because it doesn't know what to do. watch at 4:30

    More electronics = worse driving experience.

    i saw it already, some instances its true.. sometimes it hurts, sometimes it helps.

    truth is, we are not gonna get the cars from the past that were perfect without any electronics and gadgets. its not gonna happen. im sure if it was possible to do this with the price and safety and everyday reliability nissan would do it.

    Ford GT - One of the smartest decision's Ford ever made.
    Z06/ZR1 - Proof Kentucky knows how to make world class sports cars
    GT500 - Proof Americans can go fast in a straight line and be satisfed.
    Super Snake - Read Above
    Viper - Proof that a second generation of a car can be worse than the first. (Especially if the French arn't responsible in improving it)

    lol....but still,these cars are built for performace and raw power...there just something to me bout fighting a car to grap traction is way more fun then a car that turns with a flick of the wrist.

    and yes i love the 1st gen viper,but i give the 2nd gen credit...it is a beast

    That's a major part of road racing.

    In any car no matter fwd, rwd, or awd. Anything with any level of power will lose grip once the weight begins to shift. The best drivers will find the grip and accelerate out of the corner faster.
