[B-Man]

Ha ha ha ha - and read the letter by 'Mike' on page 28. - It's short so I'll type in in

"GT-RS SUCK

I was recently reading the Dec-Jan 2003 isuee which I found lying around and something was brought to my attention. In 'Reaction Time', one reader - obviously the owner of a Skyline GTR - beleives that his car can beat an old-school V8. If he had any sort of a brain, he would realise that cars like the old GT-HO and Monaros would leave there litlle Jap-crap imports for dead with or without the need for a turbo. I am a p-plater but while on my Ls I was behind the wheel of a stock standard Diahatsu Charade with a 1.3 under the bonnet (which I am aware is a Jap made car) and have not once been beaten by another Jap-import car.

I think Nissan should stick to making family cars because the Skyline is a heap of shit. The ony real import to come out of Japan that is worth buying for performance is the WRX STi."

Ha ha ha what a classic - Nice one SPEED. I think you just chucked that one in there to stir the pot some more.

[red900ss]

lol how many "t"s does shitstir have? :confused: :bahaha:

yeah good article, great exposure for the club.

[Abo Bob]

SMH tactics at a dumber level.

[croat]

B-man that is the 1 thing that i cannot stand!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate all these people (usually aussie V8 drivers) going on about the power and potential of holdens. Not bagging these cars but from my experience skylines in all cases modded or standard pull-rank over all the locally manufactured cars. I hate when ppl dont look at the full story and just stick to their own biased oppinions...

[fatz]

im sure mick will have a reply for teh tosspot

[rsx84]

well done boy's did us all proud, 5 pages is good sight, even getting a small write up on a r30....

[tomj]

perhaps they did it so ppl like us would react, buy the mag, read it , get angry , reply, then wait for the next issue to see if our reply made it in ?

think smart

[B-Man]

I'm sure it was either a shit stir plant or a shit stir prank or something -

I just thought it was damn funny ha ha ha ha

[31GUN]

I can't believe someone didn't pick up on the fact that the only shot with me innit has my back to the camera!

Sorry boys, you lost your chance hahahahahaha and ha.

Hey guys, Iain from Speed here (as opposed to Iain on speed... :Paranoid: )

We're glad you like the article and look forward to having some SAU cars featured in the mag. :headspin: Thanks for letting us know about the show and the help during the day.

Oh, and that letter wasn't written by anyone here in the office. Rest assured we get weirder ones. (It can be a real worry...:bonk: :looney:)

Cheers

[red900ss]

Iain, I'm sure the letter was from a reader though I wasn't aware that fans of old school V8s could read let alone write.

Hooks, your avatar is scary enough. Speed should be commended for their Hook's dial embargo policy.

[CerealKiller]

me thinks those V8 drivers forgot the early 90's where the R32 was handing it to them...they couldn't beat it, so they banned it.

oh and guys, we should all sell our Skylines for the 1.3 Charade...we'll never lose then!
