Default Saw a GTR on the tollway this a.m.

Too bad traffic was bumper to bumper, so I didn't get to see it go very fast.

personnally ive driven the gtr and its sucks interior is great but its pointless for the back seats, car is tiptronic, slow at first takes a while to boost, too expensive, i think its overrated now. also dont believe in paying almost 90k for it either. overall great looking exterior

Thats what I dislike the most about the GTR - it's plain and ordinary.

Did the driver of the GTR know? The S2000 is a good car, but c'mon. The GT-R is fast.

There's plenty of reasons to dislike it. There's even more that don't justify purchasing one.

But to say that a GT-R can't keep up with your S2000 is a little out there.

I saw a video I am sure you can youtube it where this S2000 kept up with a GTR on some super nice curvy road in Japan?

I saw two in real life, and they're not really THAT big. IMO they look monsterous in pictures.

They are a little "bulkier" than a 350Z/G35. I've seen a few of them in person, saw a red one at one of my school clients in Dallas (must have been a parent), needed a wash

The race turbo six refers to was one where he and speed racer were on foot.

The GTR is not big... At least not compared to the Dodge Challenger i saw it parked next to at the last Plano RKC meet. The Challenger made the GTR look like a go cart next to it.
