Mr. Jones

How the fuck did I miss this somehow. Congrats man! During the summer, I can babysit your winter beater for you. I mean, while you are out with the summer toys. I can give it it's own dedicate bay in the garage.

If you youtube "Feynman 'Fun to Imagine" You can see all of them, it's a great watch.

:no:

Yup, 4x0=0 AWD isn't a magical aid. I'd rather drive a FWD car with snows vs AWD with shit tires.

You can buy a used GTR for 58-60K without a doubt. But the problem I ran into, was finding a "CPO" warrantied GT-R. For some reason, they don't seem to exist. http://www.nissanusa.com/apps/cpo/ It came down to "questionable warranty" GTR Out of warranty 996 Turbo. Or New TTRS All for the same price. TT won this round.

The base is only like 56k though. You can buy a CPO 100K warranty one for "base" price now.

Not hating, it's a very nice car. For that money though, there's no way it wouldn't be something German for me. INB4 AUDI LOL

404 VALUE NOT FOUND

This.... They gated it in IIRC..

You'll note they aren't called automatics for a reason, they share nothing with what you would normally call an "automatic". They DSG's or "Dual Clutch Gearbox" ect. ect. Shitty video:

I'm with you for the most part. I never thought I'd ever entertain one until I drove one. The feeling is insane.. And no, this isn't the same experience you get from a Ford Fiesta "DSG". They aren't doing it right.

Yup, not even the Dyno Brian's of the world can shift in 8ms.... Imagine over a 4 gear race the time saved with several 200-250ms (dyno brian speed) shifts vs 8ms... You just can't win.. :gabe:

Lets be honest here, you can't feel anything regardless...

This..

Because it would make it slower, less reliable, and well overall shittier at everything. See sig, I'm not a fan of auto's but the DCT/DSG boxes of today are amazing. I presume you know they are not an "automatic" but merely dual clutch/split transmission rig that has no torque converter? Shifts faster than any human could ever. No loss of boost between shifts, while not having a torque converter = no loss of acceleration during shifts. The only true "loss" is you are not doing it manually. I can't think of anyone who would really want a GTR in a manual.

I've heard quite the opposite from a subaru fanatic. :gabe:

Which is exactly what he will end up with.
