P-plater, doing up to 200km/h... in a 50 zone, with a pregnant 15 year old girl in the back and passenger up front... It's just tragic. Stupid showing off like this and the driver ends up taking two lives with him. Who cares about the wrecked GTR though, it's just a piece of metal, what's important is the lives lost.

yeah cos the audience is really going to wait around for half an hour at the beginning of the film while the guys builds his car... These films are pitched at the mtv 2 second attention span audiences, they are not going to waste time getting into anything, besides, a film usually always starts with a 10 minute opening action sequence to kick off the first act and get the audience pumped, so bring on teh upside down driving cars:P

It's very ghetto bling blingy if you ask me, different, sure, but not in a good way. There are reasons why car manufactuers don't make cars like that, and it's cos: a.)it' looks downright tacky (I mean a coupe with short doors? it's ridiculous IMO unless you want to look like a pimp) b.)it's totally impractical, what's the point of a 4 person sedan which has on purpose been made more difficult to use? and probably c.) it's structurally unsound. Don't want to be in that thing if you ever get hit side one or something. I guess if you like that kind of thing go for it, but when I see cars like that on the street I usually think, what were they thinking?!

I only go wow at: Ferrari's Lambos BMW and Merc roadsters + the M3 Honda NSX (getting on a bit but so rare that you look twice anyway). basically anything that's a bit rarer.

Don't forget the super-terrific-happy-car 'Nissan Cedric'.

What are ppls's thoughts on the Lexus is200? I was thinking of getting one as daily drivers cos they are getting moderately cheapish nowdays for what's still a current model car. I mean they are local, cheap to insure and I imagine reliablel and they don't burn much fuel. Plus they are still the current model lexus that retails for 60k new. Plus they look alrite and must have something going for them if every lancer you see rips off the is200 taillights. Anyway, they seem nice other than when I look at the stats they are incredibly slow. Still, for being stuck in rush hour I don't think that the performance will matter THAT much. But yeah otherwise, yay or nay? (and yes I know it's a Toyota whateveritscalled in Japan).

go the bimmer, an old 325i beats an even older r32 anyday as a daily driver IMO.

I gotta disagree, Rev-heads and non rev-heads both equally want to make an impression, just in different ways, every person has a desire to be noticed and appreciated by others, so if you're a rev-head you just want it in a different way, but it's all the same thing, doesn't make you any better. Personally out of the two options, well I think r32's are a little long in the tooth and don't exactly look too modern nowdays. I mean they looks late 80's. On the other hand, a civic is a shitty little hatchback that does at least look relatively current model-ish but on the other hand looks stoopid all done up with some giant exhaust on the back. I mean it's not a sportscar, it's not a Type-r hot hatch so why bother making it something it's not. I'd save up for an r33 a bit more probably.

Go the s15, it's a current model car vs the GTR which is going on 15 years old at the end of the day.

I say go something newer if you can, I mean cordia's GSR's?? are they like those old cars? when were they out, like 85 or something? That's almost a quarter of a century ago, and it looks it! These cars will have a zillion kilometers on them. r31, well yeah, same, not exactly spring chickens. Exa, again, I mean c'mon it's not 1988! Honestly though, for 10k there's not too much that rocks one's world, the little eunos 30x is okay and the probe at least looks like it was styled in this millenium, (some people here don't care about styling but ya know with sports cars or coupe styling is important, it's part of the package). I don't particularly like the probe, it's a bit junky, and yeah, it could be a hassle but look at these two pics and make up your own mind: The Probe The Cordia 'nuff said. You aint' going to be smoking no GT-R's in this car so you might as well have something that looks like it's not from the jurassic period.

Well I'm curious who here does it? Cos judging by how many people I see on the roads doing it it seems every tom dick and harry does!

Well go the r34 obviously, I mean, it's 1 better isn't it! Seriously r33's are literally everywhere, 34's a lot less so, though they too are growing in numbers, it used to be a rare thing to see one but now you spot them here and there,not like the 33's, but they're about.

Maybe this old news, but there was a story about the new gt-r on the 30th on Carguide: http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/story_pa...5E21822,00.html Apparently on track for a realese at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, small chance 2005? Apparently doesn't look like any of the concepts either = good. So yeah, probably 150k, which is pretty damn expensive, when 2007 comes around I'd buy the new BMW M4 or a used 'rari instead for that kind of money.

I saw a Top Gear review of the 350 recently, (who btw liked the skyline), and they basically said the 350z was rubbish! and the convertible is even worse! Would that be a fair conclusion based from people who have driven them? I gotta say, I'm not crash hot on the styling of the 350z but by the sounds of it, looks aside, it's not a very good car anyway? Like they said the interior was dogdy, engine was whiney, no boot, weird styling, average handling etc etc, was all a bit grim. French engine in japanese car designed by an Indian!

Supra used to look good, but there are so many of them around now and the design has started to date a lot, at the end of the day a 93 Supra is a good 12 years old already. It looks alrite from the back still, but the front with the big droppy early 90's style lights has aged, specailly when they get all dirty, which most of them are. Does the skyline have it's own shape? I don't think it necessarily does, the skyline,and 200sx look kinda similar, r33, s14, before I new about them they were all much the same muchness to me looks wise, which is how I imagine they look to the general populace. Something like the TT is a distinct design (even if it's a bit rolly polly) Next gen Audi TT sure should look meaner though:
