    Why do people think I hate Japanese cars? I've only owned four European cars the rest were all Japanese. I hate riced out Jap cars, the typical JDM fan boy Rota/eBay spring Civics, and the fake drift kids. Anything else goes. If it's fast, looks good, etc I like it, who cares what it's from?

    I can name 20 people on this site who have seen me drive, never said I was the best driver, but if a Porsche race car can't beat a GTR something is wrong. Why is that hard to believe?

    Can't post lap times last time I checked they don't print lap times at track days however you're more then welcome to come out next time I'm out and ride along.

    As for Miatas, I still laugh at the Miata comments, I had a Miata track car, now I'm gay.

    Chin doesn't, MVP doesn't, NASA doesn't, SCCA doesn't, BMW doesn't, PCA doesn't...who are you using?

    Maybe if you're tracking at tiny tracks like Lil Tally or something but I've yet to see timing at Road Atlanta or any large tracks, you run a transponder at track days?

    As for "HPDE or something" that IS A TRACK DAY...no difference, but to answer no, I've only done one HPDE (which is NASA's term for a track day lol)

    you missed the word "event". but, i still consider it a track day. my point was the time slips. i'll let you borrow a transponder...i need to see faster times than any GT-R.

    Ok, well that's a competition.

    Big difference, obviously they time TIME ATTACK. That's like questioning if they time you at an autocross. Most track days won't even allow the use of a transponder.

    Tell me which event you're doing and I will gladly prove you cars can beat a GTR.

    Why is it wrong if a porsche race car can't beat a GTR? The GTR was made to outshine porsche.. so it'd actually be the other way around, it'd be wrong if the GTR didn't beat the porsche you trifling dolt. Here is a classic example of you not knowing what the fuck you're talking about. You're unbelievable. You couldn't find your ass with a 10 man search party.

    Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

    woo woo woo there is a big difference betweent a gtr and a porsche race car. you cant compare a street car to a race car. now if he was talking about sat a gt3 gt2 or turbo 911 then i would hope they would be close and most likely up to the driver alone. but not a race car to a street car.


    yes i know the gt-r was made to beat the porsche porsche turbo around the ring not a porsche race car....

    Um a stock GTR shouldn't beat a GT3 Cup car.

    For instance a GT3 Cup car runs 1:26's or so at Road Atlanta.

    The fastest time attack track record for NASA at Road Atlanta is a 1:25...it's a Radical...no GTR on the list.

    You're comparing a full slick tired race car to a street car. A GTR was meant to beat a 911 turbo, which it did, that's not what we're comparing.

    Now who's the dumb ass?

    You are still the dumbass. Why are you comparing a fully stripped race car to a street legal bone stock down to the tires daily driver? I would hope a GT3 cup car would win against a STOCK GTR. Do the same mods to a GTR and see what happens.

    I wasn't comparing them, YOU WERE. He asked what I had driven that could beat a GTR and I replied that and noted obviously it's a race car and there isn't a comparison and I hadn't driven a stock car to compare to the GTR.
