    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.

    you've completely missed the entire point of his argument. it's like you just looked at the screen, drooled, and then started typing the same shit you've typed 15 times without taking into account anything he's said. NO GOD DAMN SHIT there's cars on the fucking track that can BEAT A GTR. ACR VIPER, ZR1 vette (with the right driver). The list goes on. If you don't like a car, you immediately discount it's credibility of being something that it really is. oh, well an ACR $110,000 vehicle can beat a $60,000 NISSAN GTR, so the GTR is mclame bro. It's not even good, it only set record times at the ring, i mean, my miata can do that. Brah, i wasn't even impressed with the 500+ hp and the fact that it breaks necks around curves. Jeremy clarkson of all people THREW OUT HIS NECK driving a GTR because it hugged so well. Yes the guy exaggerates, but for good reason. He HATES nissan and he gave props to nissan for making an amazing machine. So has the rest of the automotive industry EXCEPT of course porsche, who called shenanigans, because THEY couldn't produce the same time around the ring that everyone else could. Take your fist, out of your ass, and put it in your mouth. No one cares about your biased, malinformed shit eating dick breath theories/opinions.

    YEA THE FERRARI SCUDERIA IS BAD ASS, BUT THERE'S CARS THAT BEAT IT, SO IT'S A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, I MEAN, FUCKIN FERRARI ,WHAT WERE THEY THINKING CHARGING 400K FOR THAT? I COULD RACE OUT A HONDA AND MAKE IT JUST AS FAST ON THE TRACK.
    Way Too Big

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

    You just said a lot of what I said and the GTR owner disagreed with. You're a fucking idiot. You don't read what people are even talking about you just jump in a conversation or quote my replies to other people. Go e-thug another section, tubby.

    BTW if you believe Clarkson really threw his neck out you just added to his hatred for America lol. I never said GTR's weren't fast or couldn't handle well, I said there are better cars as the GTR owner here made it seem as if nothing stock could beat a GTR. They're quick, handle well if that's really handling, but there is quicker without the electronic BS.
