    LOL look at what i started.

    im gonna have to agree with ej25 in saying that mechanicals > electronics. the gtr drives itself. what is fun about that?

    the cars that stand out the most to me are the ones where driver skill actually matters. i like actually driving my cars, not going or a disneyland ride.

    coming from someone who has not driven a gt-r, please bro, you mean to tell me that your car would be more fun to drive? your a damn retard if you say yes. the gt-r still utilizes driver control and will not be forgiving if you dont know what you are doing.

    I wonder if technological advances have anything to do with the gt-r's design.
    pic your favorite vehicle and in 5 years it will do all the work for you too. who the phuck cares if its not a manual, who cares if the suspension damping is adjustable at the flick of a switch. the car is badass, and those who say otherwise are ignorant. if the car sucked, all the reviews would say so.

    Here is what i love about driving, speed,cornering, and braking. how i achieve those is pretty phucking irrelevant.
    Yeah, I know.

    i care if its a manual and if it has adjustable suspension, is that a problem?

    it is a badass car and it is very fast, but i have my own opinion about it and dont give half a **** about what the reviews say.

    please enlighten me on how your car, with its suspension, is sitting right now.
    what your "track settings" are, and what manufacturer makes your suspension.


    also, how much hp do you need before holding on to the steering wheel becomes more important than shifting?
    Yeah, I know.

    LOL who said anything about my car? i dont have adjustable suspension, i have eibach lowering springs and kyb shocks that came with the car. but im working on that. hows your car?

    and i dont think your second statement is very applicable, considering LOTS of race cars with WAY more power than the r35 are manuals. actually, the only time ive seen an automatic race car was a drag car or this one lexus that ran in grand am for a while. but they still used the tiptronic system...
