Gtr

[GD2ILA]

was asked this by a pretty girl the other night "you can almost have any car you want, you've driven cars that cost a house but yet you chose a GTR? i mean wtf" i left it at that and walked off, well the main thing is everyone is different and prefer different things. what did it for me was the first time i drove one, a R32 GTR the handling of the car is like it's on rails in a straight line from a launch or around corners turning in late to the apex and planting it. when you accelerate you can instantly feel that the RB is designed to be reved and loves to accelerate everytime you drive it, it's feels like the car is edging you on "come on plant it" the engine doesn't sound right at lower rpms it's more happy and alive the faster it's going and higher rpms. it's not luxurious as a porche and isn't ment to be it's a pure grand tour racer. comfy but yet can haul ass when needed.

what does everyone else think about a GTR?

Nice move walking away haha.

btw, have you ever driven a car on a race track?

I get the same feeling to all RB motors in general gtr or gtst. I just love the way they drive and the smile you get on your face when planting it and having the car go spastic, for me RB's for life.

ive had skylines all my life..and until im married with kids il always own a skyline..(maybe even still when i have a family lol) of course she would say why a GTR? Simple answer...shes never driven one. I have friends who LOVE V8's and have driven my car and said its an awsome car.

Lets get some priorities straight , a GTR is more important than family , i would trade the family in first, before i get rid of my GTR.....NOT JOKING EITHER

family? That's when you get a stagea to sit alongside the skyline...

i havnt got a family but i still have a stagea.. and its not an rb, but a VQ, can i still be included?

[GD2ILA]

well the GTR is family, the more you take care of it (wash, service) the more fun, reliable and friendly it is towards you (doesn't break down - less over all problems), like a gorgeous wife your bound to get attention (popo or what not) and she's bloody high maintenance that's for sure always wants a medical (dyno tune, service) the more i touch it and use it, it wants new shoes and not just any shoes has to be a brand name aswell and 4 of them to boot (UHP tyres) it drinks heaps and demands nothing but the best you can get (bp ultimate 98). but we all knew this was gonna happen, as human beings we get attached to things either humans or materialistic.

and yes i've been on a race track.

haha glad she's your EX attitude like that definitely doesn't come from a keeper.

my girlfriend gets none of that and she doesn't complain. you gotta get a girl who loves you, not your money.

[RB2600]

btw..i always tell people:

you can always live in your car, but you can never drive your house =]

well when you have a family just get a 4 door skyline lol they are family friendly

[paulr33]

my view

it's just a car?

a 4 door skyline is not family friendly and it doesnt look good

If you've got less than 2.5 kids a Skyline would be a fine family car. Better than a Pulsar or similar small sedans.
