Too bad the youtube for the Nissan R35 GT-R vs the modded older Skylines was taken off. :( The new Skyline took third at Tsukaba raceway out of 5 skylines. All the other skylines were race tuned yet the new stock Skyline kept up.

Dori Dori was in it. :)

It\'s not bad. Sometimes aesthetics will have to giveway to function. Case in point - the older Audi TT\'s (1.1) have that that ugly rear wing.

It did prevent the throttle lift induced spin. :laughing: Coz of the shape of the TT, it had enormous lift on the rear of the car at highway speeds.

Fuck yeah! This problem was happening mostly in Germany. They\'d be going along just fine on the highway, then they want to switch lanes and so they lift off the throttle SLIGHTLY and move over to the lane....and the tail spin starts. :laughing:

Uh no, the article said the GT-R is the cheapest of the bunch. It\'s also one of the hottest I think.

My pick:
1) GT-R
2) Porsche
3) Audi
4) Corvette

But if I was a billionaire I\'d just get them all. :D

BC when you drive those cars in a nice neighborhood you get pulled over constantly.

:banghead:....Damn you\'re right about that...i used to get pulled over constantly in those white suburban neighborhoods when i had my 240 sx. The cop would be such an asshole.... when he seen that all my papers were in order, he would actually look around the car to see if he could find anything wrong with it....

The Vette is still a lot cheaper than the GT3 or R8, almost 20,000 £ cheaper that is. So the Vette and the GT-R are both awesome bang for your buck.
Title: GT-R vs Z06, R8 and 911 GT3
Post by: THX on March 18, 2008, 10:04:57 PM: The Vette can\'t really compare to the GT-R unless it\'s a Z06 though right? If that\'s the case cost may be about the same as shown in the article.

I love both cars but have a feeling the GT-R will age better and hold more value (iconic and monetary).

was talking to Bozzie, he said the Vette is a lot cheaper which tells me he must have meant the non-Z06 models.
