![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Lords of the Ring: The Return of the Kings Eh, none of these cars on the list really do anything for me... cars like the Ferrari F40, McLaren F1 or CGT have a place in my heart while these cars will come and go Quote:
I find it hilarious how it's always the same people (Martin, me, Monster...) that are stuck defending the GT-R. Funny how it's "us" peeps from Asia and Africa having to explain why the GT-R is such a tremendous car. We are minorities after all I guess ![]() When the GT-R rumours first surfaced along with it's pricing, people deemed it fit to compare this car to a category that belongs to the M3, C63 and those types of cars. Then it went on to annihalate the 911 Carreras...Now it is being compared to proper supercars such as 599's, GT2 and 3's... The GT-R just kept moving up in ranks until it was innevitable that it was compared to something that it wasn't meant to compete against in the first place. While cars like the GT-R, ZR1 and ACR's will never be able to match the emotions of a Ferrari or Porsche, you just cannot deny that the fact that they can hold their own (if not surpass) in terms of performance is nothing short but extraordinary. I will buy these engineers are round of drinks just because their cars are mentioned with some of the BEST cars out there today. If you think that M3, RS5, (insert up and coming sports car in this price range) engineers aren't looking at Nissan with these looks: , , , then you are kidding yourselves. | |

Look at the thread title... this is all about performance and ring times, not what car will get you laid driving downtown. The car did a 7:22 at the Ring... enough said. You know what, I've always though Viper's were awesome. I'm going to pick the ACR. Did I mention this car is about $100k? ![]() | |

I find it hilarious how some of these cars went against Italy's absolute best of the best. Hell, Ferrari liked their car so much that they named it after the company's creator. And then comes along a Datsun... | |

How long did it take for people to catch the McLaren F1? Way more than 5 years How long is it going to take for cars company to catch the GT-R? Who knows? But it sure as hell woke people up. And that's why it has indeed re-written the rules. I very much doubt that Ferrari guys' pride and joy Enzo figured that their car would be almost redundant in only 5 years when they stuffed it with every technology possible. There's no way anyone ever imagined the GT-R would cause this much ruckus. | |
