Yeah, WRX was owning until it BROKE.

normal. they break easily by spun bearings when you put too much power due to engine design. too many dicks drive WRXs plus, all Subaru succeded in racing was WRC. GTR? well; Bathurst( i think we all know that one), Targa Rallies, Group A(1990s), Le Mans(1990s), JGTC, Drag racing(HKS R33 GTR), etc...

if your comparing the Standard Rex which is overused by wankers who litter them shitty paint jobs stickers and chrome wheels to a r33 v spec which is a legendary track beast i'd take the r33 v spec, throw a WRX STI into the equation and i'd probably try both and get which one you feel is most fitting to your driving style.

Does that mean Commodores are the greatest car ever? seing as there are more of them than any other car on the road ?
Nah Fords are better.

Meh, Camrys are better than both...

I noimate the Camry being the most common car seen on the road.

Toyota hit the jack pot when they realised that the majoriy of the car buying market are filled with plain & boring people who just want A-B transport.

Oh & WRX's are still ulgy :)

I own an my03 wrx as well as my bunky..

Comparing it against a 33 gtr v-spec I know which one I would have for being able to park it in a carpark, or fit shit in the boot, or carry 4 people with ease ( some people I know don't exactly like hopping over the front seats to get in a car ).

For sheer driving pleasure the gtr hands down, but I would be petrified leaving it anywhere that I couldn't see it.

http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/lofive...hp/t452714.html is the main one i was reading.

I have a feeling i started reading at the wrong point in the thread though lol, now i don't know what car they are talking about. I tried to find specific mention of the car, but all anyone seems to be saying is GTR ETA runs a RB26/30, and then people are also talking about a WRX, and after re-reading it, not sure they are talking about the same car as there is mention of an S15 as well... Lol, too many cars with the plates GTR ETA, just goes to prove that the GTR is what they are aiming to beat :D

OK - I can give you my recent experience with both makes.

New to Skylines, and the forum.

12mths ago I purchased a 03 STI (with medium mods) - sold it within 3 mths!

Noisy.

Slow, if not on boost.

No torque.

Front torque steer under power.

understeer.

It was like driving a highly strung race car on the street, which needed the crap revved out of it to have any fun. - very annoying.

3 weeks ago I purchased a R32 GTR - stock standard. I love it. I have had plenty of performance cars, currently race a 4cyl Alfa in Historic Touring cars, (I am 45 yrs young), and the GTR is a serious car. It is the real deal when it comes to serious performance cars. I also considered a EVO, but same issues as above with the WRX(to buzzy/rice burner type of thing.

In the end I really wanted a super/muscle car. A make/model with race history, something original and to hang on to long term. I could have spent $40 - $60K on Aussie muscle, but in the end spent $14K!! on a true performance (race) car.

When driven at full tilt, the GTR is a more capable/satisfying/mind blowing/enjoyable experience.

Being from the old school/V8 type back ground, the best way to sum it up is that the GTR is more like a cross over between Aussie muscle with Jap hightech, - if you know what I mean......even my HSV/FPV mates rate it highly - surprise, surprise!!

If you want a "sporty" car - maybe a WRX (but go EVO)

If you want a true supercar (a legend) - go GTR

Thats it, now I'm off for a drive along the coast in my new toy, and then maybe give it a wax, and just stand back and admire. (never felt doing that with the STI)

Steve.
