Ok, Page 9.. Are we done yet?

Apart from the fact that 90% of you have driven a holden at one time or a nother and 1% of you have driven a GTR R35, I think the mods should lock this thread as its already fked up beyond all recognition...

I think you'll find that a lot of people on this site have driven something as fast as a stock 35, most of us can appreciate the "instant loss of licence acceleration issue".

If you daily drove a comparatively "underpowered" LS1 vehicle would it be more "fun" and "safer" than a 35.

Most likely.

That's what this thread is about yes?

Or no?

Either way, the R32 was the best GTR ever made by Nissan.

You asked for the evidence and I supplied it. If you want to ignore it's up to you. No skin off my nose. Again I repeat it was advice given to a poster that said his mates hit the limiter regularly. Fact is there is a body of evidence out there that there are known issues with the design. No need for personal attacks or denigration, but again if that's what floats your boat then go ahead. I suppose you are loyal to your engine builder and so you should be, but then again I am not going to dispute my builders wisdom either especially when his advice is consistent with the body of evidence that exists which is in line with his observations in his 20 years of experience.

Again if people define fun as being in a family sedan with a body kit and big engine and doing burnouts on demand then get a HSV but if you are more inclined to enjoy the purity of driving in a purpose built race inspired vehicle that will inspire you on all emotional and physical levels then a gtr is for you. Not just the 35 but any gtr because they are all phenomenal vehicles that will out-perform any falcommodore super car on every level.

See there you go again with the 'burnouts' thing again. That must be why no HSV clubs do track days etc etc. I think you need to get off your high horse about GT-Rs. Funny, I'd make the same comments you made about the GT-R about my LS powered Commodore.

That's a really cool story about what your builder reckons, but again it's contrary to the majority. I even deconstructed your so called "evidence", unrelated material, advertorials and backwater forums do not a compelling case make. I've said SEVERAL TIMES that nearly every engine that is being revved hard has at least a valve spring upgrade, and doubly so if cammed or using forced induction. Again the only issues like what you claim are common that I've seen were in a VX LS1 that was on its last legs from abuse.

It's not personal attacks or denigration, it's the fact that your arguments are half arsed.

It's becoming fairly apparent that a lot of you have never driven a late model HSV, hence the stereotyping of them as a bogan skid pig rig.
