    ok, so its fairy tail time.

    im gonna give you a nismo Z
    Or, at your discretion, im gonna give you a gt-r

    now, if you tell me you would take the nismo because its more "mechanical" then i will just do you a favor and never take you serious again.

    As for my car i just sold, the Si, i had buddy club 15-way adjustable coilovers, with 9/10k springs at a progressive rate. camber correction, yada yada yada. settings were 0 deg toe in the front/-1 rear camber -1.2 front -.8 rear (car has pronounced understeer and this is the only way to combat that) rear shocks 9 clicks in/ front struts 4 clicks in.

    now, that being said the car was a six speed. i loved driving it, and it handled great! but im sorry, the ride was nothing, and i do meen nothing like a gt-r.
    Yeah, I know.

    I wouldn't take the Z for many other reasons besides the transmission. And what you just brought up is matter of personal preference. Something I decide on.

    Here's a better comparo to twist the brain. A good shape R34 GT-R or a R35.

    I would have the R34 for all of the above factors......

    So are we still on speaking terms?

    You don't get credit for it though. You are more/less a statistician.

    well, thinking realistically, i would probably take the gtr, sell it, and buy something different. i just dont really like the car all that much. sorry.


    thats a pretty good setup on the Si as far as i can tell. its good to know that im not arguing with a moron lol. did you track/autocross it?
    The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

    well, to be honest, no, i never tracked the car once! I just enjoy making a car capable of more than it was when i bought it. i think im a good driver, and i pushed the Si to its limits in the turns but i wish i would have tracked it at least once. but thats ok, im living vicariously through my buddy who does track his supercharged Si, lol

    Yeah, I know.
