BrianZ06 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I saw one on the road yesterday in the muirfiled area probably the first one I have seen on the road. It looked pretty nice. I dont know what year it was it looked new to me though. Has anyone ever been in one or up against one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 They are a 485 hp twin turbo if I remember correctly . All show no go ? They only get 16 /21 mpg which is rotten compared to my Z. Just an over priced yuppie car I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 last time I went there the saleman ignored me and acted like I couldnt afford their cars. I took my approved loan to the Ford dealership instead. I dont want my license on file when the car comes back with the warranty voided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Not thinking about buying it I was just BSing about them. Gas milage and HP is actually nice to have thats why I like my Z06. 500+ HP and 30mpg is hard to beat right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 The GT-R is a beautiful car. Has anyone looked into their aftermarket parts world? Theres a twin turbo 20g kit out there that will make 600+ wheel on stock everything else, not to mention shifts in a millisecond. My favorite thing about those cars has to be the transmission, your not going to outshift one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno just seems like you can get a cheaper car and put the money into and be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 The looks got my attention just because you dont see em on the road that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Are there faster cars? Yes. Are there better handling cars? Yes. But for the price it does a beautiful job of pairing the two categories. All the magazines say it's one of those cars you have to trust and let its computers control if you want to out perform most other cars. Before anybody says I'm a fanboy. I'm not. I'd never buy. I have different tastes then that kind of car. but for the money it's a phenomenal car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 For the money I'll get a 996TT with a proper tranny and send it to Switzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite thing about those cars has to be the transmission, your not going to outshift one of those. But, the transmissions are junk above 600 whp. There was one with a twin charged setup and only put on 700ish crank due to the weak trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'am pretty sure the GTR is right around that. why was that bike so slow?!! you had everything but an arm on it! but yeah, a GT-R is probly good for that in the quarter. From factory and that price, out of the box thats damn fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 they were so much cooler when they were NOT made for use in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I still like them. Its not something everyone has, it handles well, and most of all its fun. Its not a ZR1 but for a 6 banger and the price its pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92eclipseGSX Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I saw a silver one couples days ago around campus/short north it had a exhaust on it..i think it was a greddy system, but it was so loud and sounded amazing. It echoed the whole area. I think they are very nice cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep's GTR went 10.91 at 130mph his first time out with just an exhaust midpipe and a flash. Car had about 300 miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
