Chris harris dove the gt3 with all that drifting for AUTOCAR not EVO, oh thats makes heavywetty's argument all wrong duh duh duh duh dumb!!!!

 

I can't wait till someone brings one of these things out to VIR. First of all though, we could all have a GTR or two if we wanted, even if we lost our asses on trade in. Why? Because it's a Nissan. Our cars are Porsches. I fully respect and think it's awesome that Nissan is getting it. It will only push Porsche and everyone else. Why? Because that's how it always is. That's how the world works. I love it. I'd rather have a 911. Who wouldn't. BUT this thread, I think, is about... really... Nissan's continually shocking achievement. Right? That's why all of us 911 drivers are fussing about it. We don't know how to react to this. That's the truth. But at the end of the day, we drive the long way home, we go to the gym, we pic up our women... in a friggin 911. It's the entire experience. I love that mine feels like a total handful. It's a hooligan car. I can slide it everywhere I go. I love the flick. You have yours for something you love. If not, then this thread is probably relevant to you in more than a good nod to Nissan. If you HAVE that special love for your 911 that no other car has given, then... well, really a nod is all it is. Relax a bit. Now, back to the first statement. I can't wait to track with one of these. I really don't know what to say until then, but I KNOW I'll get to, and I bet I show him my bigass wing.

 

Another boring and pointless thread. Who cares?

Why don't you move this discussion to another group on this forum (General?), or better yet,...

 

AUTOCAR NURBURGRING ARTICLE

The Caterham's rear tyres howl in protest as I stroke its nose deftly through the Nurburgring's final corner. The crowd rises to its feet and a sea of Union Jacks are waved as I cross the line in record time. Then, through the mayhem, someone hands me a huge white telephone, ringing out above the cacophony...

Monday, 4.50am: the bedside alarm rudely terminates my dream and I remember that there's a new Porsche 911 parked outside. My aim today is to cross the Channel and drive to the Nordschleife in Germany to meet the men from Caterham, as well as a legend called Stefan and his extraordinary "Yellow Bird" Ruf Porsche.

Our goal could scarcely be more simple. We want to break the production car lap record for the famous old 12.95-mile Nurburgring. Currently it stands at 7min 59sec, set by a Nissan Skyline GTR in 1995. But given that the Skyline set the time during its development stage and was free of the speed limiter that prevents UK versions from doing more than 156mph, we can no longer count it as the true production car record holder. Especially as it's far from clear how much turbo boost the GTR was running during the lap, or how much tweaking the rear-wheel steer system had undergone.

So for these reasons and more, the standard production car lap record will no longer belong to the Skyline after this event; it will instead hold the record for a modified road car. Unless, of course, the unchipped, unfettled GTR that colleague Allan Muir is due to arrive in tomorrow can match, or perhaps better, that 7min 59sec time...


Nissan Skyline GTR: 8min 28.1 sec

Thanks to Bridgestone for all its tyres

Your ability to show him a big wing will depend almost solely on the skill of the two drivers involved. I track an only somewhat killer Evo and have yet to run on a track with a car that outclasses it. I get pulled by maybe 2 lengths by 911 turbos on the back straight at Mid Ohio and by one on the front at BeaveRun by Vipers.

In short you may well be talking about things you could not back up as there are a handful of very capable cars that if well driven you could simply not shake or overtake.

 

Fully agreed. Don't want to take it there. Just some friendly trash talking, since I track often and someone will undoubtedly remind me that I said this over a beer... and a defeat.

 

Can you read boy? I've made all of my posts very clear and I know which driver was driving when. Your comprehension is the level of a 2nd grader.

And your verbal skills are lacking too. I have too assume another Grand Turismo star with no real track knowledge.

 

He knows where to find me, I'm 5 minutes from the track.

And he chose an M3 over the GT-R anyways.

 

 

Required fluid changes every 1800 miles wouldn't instill a sense of durability to me

 

This thread is basically a bunch of guys standing around arguing who has the smallest pecker.

Christ, it's a car. Enjoy em.

 

Ah yes Heavy schumacher's back!!! All these journalists are drifters they can't drive i know i am the Heavymacher!!! Is it a bird? is it a plane? No its heavy schumacher sent to earth to hate the GTR!!!!

 

Ahhh. I have not used this one since the early Z06 days.

 

You're right..you win.

 

Well I do declare....
