This thread is hilarious.

I seriously think some people are far too precious with their cars. I mean seriously.. thinking highway driving would cause excessive wear on an engine? This forum Delivers :)

+1. Forum has a lot of idiots as of late.

OP will be fine, car will be happy to do that rather than limiter bashing.

the only reason you'd see falcons on the side of the road comes down to the lack of maintenance by a lot of owners, not the actual cars. if skylines were treated like a lot of commodores and falcons are there'd be a hell of a lot more of them on the side of the road broken down than commodores and falcons.

ford owners must neglect their cars more than holden owners, either that or holdens are more tolerant to abuse. i see a disproportionate amount of fords broken down.

they are just a standard family car with a turbo attatched.

That's a bit dishonest Marc. A Vecra VXR is a family car with a turbo engine, but I wouldn't characterise a GTST as that. I'd call it a de-tuned touring car which may or may not be available in saloon format. It's only a family car in the sense that in is not say mid-engined etc. Nissan never marketed it as a family car really, the NA saloon versions were kind of inferior after-thoughts. Even the RWD format goes against the grain of jelly mold family saloons, there is NO reason to go RWD if you are just making family cars.

no, a GTR is a de-tuned touring car. a gts-t is a family car version of said de-tuned touring car. they are no more a detuned touring car than an xr6t. the non GTR are just a sports family saloon. they are less of a the S series and Z series cars are more sports cars than a non GTR skyline.

a vectra VXR isn't a family car either, it is a sports hatch, in fact the VXR is the sports hatch version of a normal hatch. they are simply GM's answer to the focus. anyone who buys a vectra as a family car is stupid.
