And um as for the GT R .......who even mentioned anything about it ? seriously. go back to the nissan forums... Oh guess what ?? and a Veyron will smoke the GT R ....so um ...ya . i think you get my point.

PS .the skyline is FUGLY...i would preffer the older one ..

No one mentioned anything about it, i just though it was funny how they have races of stock cars vs. modded cars. 50k cars vs 150k cars. To the haters the only bad thnig they can say about the GT-R is that it's ugly...which is fine wtih me. And....no i don't get your point buddy.

thanks for looking out for me!!!
during thanksgiving, i will be checking out cayman S at HBL and see how things go.
also, i will go to local carmax and testdrive SMGII, since i cant drive manual.
though, i will buy manual when i purchase e46 m3. i just wanna get a feel for it since i never drove e46 m3 in general
also, i might talk to local nissan manager (bought my g coupe from him when he was a saleman at infiniti dealer and bought a nissan when he became general manager) about new GTR.
do you have an AIM sn? shoot me a pm!

oh sorry, i misunderstood haha
definately it's expensive considering how much a chip can do for 335i! haha

ooh didn't know they had run the veyron yet, it's a better time than I suspected. I thought it would be bad around corner weighing over 2 tonnes.

They didn't. That was an "estimated" time. I guess Wheels Magazine has a crystal ball at their disposal.

I agree that the VQ35 motor is a bust. I was planning on TT'in mine, but i'm going to hold off and save the money, i don't feel like spending 7k to get a blown motor. Although the GT-R won't have the VQ35, It will have a VQ38TT....which is a much stronger motor. I heard the GT-R is capable of holding 600hp. GT-R motors have never been clumsy....when Nissan comes out wiht a Turbo'd motor they do it right....example SR20DE, RB26DE. All the previous GT-R motors have help up good...so i have no reason to think this one won't.
