Only in the Middle East Does a $260K Nissan GT-R Make Sense(Feb 29, 2012)And I've tracked one, we have already gone over this. What factual evidence does you driving one prove? You have nothing but an opinion formed which is fine but my point is dont pass said opinion as fact.
Only in the Middle East Does a $260K Nissan GT-R Make Sense(Feb 29, 2012)Love how those that are hating only have subjective material or what they have heard from a friend, no factual evidence at all of why it's a horrible car.
You dont like it I respect that but don't try to pass your opinion as fact.
Only in the Middle East Does a $260K Nissan GT-R Make Sense(Feb 29, 2012)@Fordfan
You can continue hating all you want The GTR is going to continue kicking many cars asses winning races and awards at half the price. Say what you want, facts and numbers don't lie. One day you will get over yourself :)
What Lurks in Bugatti’s Crystal Ball?(Feb 26, 2012)Personally I find them hideous in looks. Sure you can make anything faster with money but it's the fact you still have a high luxury interior and so easy to drive your grandma could drive it (yes it's a top gear reference lol)
Video: Viper ACR-X Laps the Nurburgring in 7:03(Feb 23, 2012)Ya Zonda R Isn't from this planet but hot damn a little over 20 seconds from the fastest time!? Way to go viper, always wonder what a driver like vettel would do in this and see if he(or someone like him) can squeeze out another second or so
1000hp Nissan GTR Skyline R34 by SP Engineering(Feb 22, 2012)It's a seq tranny, just has to push forward or back. Taller shifter, less distance your hand has to travel therefore faster gear changes (along with trans of course)
GTA Spano Will Head to Geneva in Production Form(Feb 21, 2012)You downshift in a seq as well, it's just much more violent (which I like). watch the FIA GT3 guys and they tear through gears like no other lol
Blow Mind Video: 40+ Nissan GTRs Revving(Feb 21, 2012)@pat
Out off all the rotaries I've rebuilt, turbo kits ive helped install, etc I DO NOT touch wiring! Haha I don't even touch audio with friends cars or mine for that matter lol
Unearthed: 1988 BMW M6(Feb 18, 2012)Nice I'll check it out and see what I can contribute
Unearthed: 1988 BMW M6(Feb 18, 2012)Tony, car people are awesome is all you guys? I've been wondering what it was because I always saw patrick commenting on it
2012 Toyota GT 86 by TOMS(Feb 18, 2012)Once it's out and if stock it is beaten by the rx8 and the s2k then ya it needs a little sum sumthin
2012 Toyota GT 86 by TOMS(Feb 18, 2012)Exactly which is a good thing. Granted there has to be a balance but I really don't want to get into the relationship of bump rebound damp etc lol
Video: The McLaren MP4-12C Storms America(Feb 17, 2012)Hahahahaha really a stang and a mclaren? Wow what's the next "great" hypothesis, a modded vette beating an F1 car?
Video: 2012 BMW M5 and 2012 Nissan GT-R Reviewed in the Rain(Feb 17, 2012)Car not just cut the driver out. It all is about feel and really and hard to explain, I guess the best way to state it is with the 458 you really dont know about the comps correcting your mistakes but with the GTR you do. Very vague I know lol
Video: 2012 BMW M5 and 2012 Nissan GT-R Reviewed in the Rain(Feb 17, 2012)@pablo
From my experience of driving the cars, (only done 4 laps in 458) with the GTR it feels like the comps are aiding the car and on at all times, it's not subtle with the systems. The 458 feel like the aids are there to help you to control the..
Video: 2012 BMW M5 and 2012 Nissan GT-R Reviewed in the Rain(Feb 16, 2012)Driving is your goal then why in the world are you throwing a fit about it not doing anything after 60mph (which obviously it does) or its power band? It's not like If it's good on a track it becomes horrible on the street, it's still the same car
Video: 2012 BMW M5 and 2012 Nissan GT-R Reviewed in the Rain(Feb 16, 2012)That really doesn't make any sense. Your complaining about its performance, I provided counter points. You accuse me not driving one, which I have. You buy a performance car for its PERFORMANCE! Where do you think sports cars are tested? If daily..

Porsche Contemplates Dropping Manual for 2013 Porsche 911 GT3(Feb 16, 2012)@hugo
Seq trannys are extremely expensive car wise and very impractical for daily driving. You HAVE to shift as quickly as possible or else you end up damaging the dogs and gears. Not to mention the high pitch whine lol
Porsche Contemplates Dropping Manual for 2013 Porsche 911 GT3(Feb 15, 2012)So F1 DTM GT1 Indy GP2 etc drivers are not real men? Take a look at what the majority of these cars are used for. Also when going 120mph+ I would like to keep both my hands on the wheel
Chrysler Recalls 10,000 Dodge Charger Police Interceptors(Feb 14, 2012)Way to many factors in play, every car is different along with how they are treated and climate they are in. And no more muscle? Ever drive the GTO, G8, or challenger?
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 13, 2012)Ya check out some pics, they are bright green like the rim and sit low in the hood
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)It's the driver for monster car. It was built for need for speed shift and to just make a ridiclous 60s mustang because he could
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)The 8 was brought in to show the cost of an import compared to an older muscle and the hp gain, I talk from experience not assumption/opinion such as you
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Hey just an ending note to prove your really just assuming, a turbo supra weighs 3,400lbs. A v8 68 camaro weighs 3,200 with all the extra bs.
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)@pat
Ya switch the wheels and I'm sold, love the carb barrels sticking out of the hood
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)And by the way the 68 z/28 NA made 350hp and 410 torque, that has your turbo'd variate beat.
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)for around $200 and gain 40hp. It cost me $800 for rx8 headers and see only 3hp. What makes the transmission better? What constitutes as better quality? Have you sat in and lived with both?
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Once again you have no facts only assumptions trying to be passed as fact, NA means no turbos!!! So the NA supra only made 220hp, the car relays heavily on its turbos for power. It's "tuneble"? Thats your reason for it being cheaper? I can buy header
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)I've seen that! A fing monster, have you seen that mustang RTR-X? I want to make a maro version of that
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)It doesn't take much for these to be track monsters. Your only racing experience is probably only forza(not putting you down I play it like crack) look at the leader boards, a majority of them are old muscle cars stripped out and full suspension.
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Maintenance? The list goes on and on so no you can not confidently say "it's a FACT it's better then everything except straight line" there are way to many variables and subjectives matters to be consider for that to be a true statement.
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Gain hp/tq in relation to cost? Simplicity? How advance it was for its time (we are dealing with two different areas). Take a look at racing history, These took wins away from BMW merc etc in the trans am and early world series races. Cost for..
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)@ Matt
Once again you are not understanding the point. What constitutes as better? Have you gone through every single bolt used and tested there strength and failing points? Combustion efficiency? Hp per liter NA to NA? How about ability/ease to...
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Matt where you went wrong and had this become what it is was when you tried to defend and state the supra is better based on opinion then defend your opinion as "fact" then go back to its just your opinion. Loaded with fallacys FYI
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Price is defiantly steep, but it's rather new so once the company makes its money back on the licensing I'm sure there will be a price drop
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 12, 2012)Ya I'll give merc that one, they are the only other company to make a kick ass v8. I'd take a merc or an LS
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)I believe it's around 15k and the rarer versions go for around 25-30k. kinda steep but I feel it's well worth having a fresh new platform with 50 less years lol
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)Gf's father has a 69 camaro SS. Bored cam'd and stroked. He use to race it and now is his weekend fun toy. Could hear it a mile away
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)To go along with Patrick, stock for stock the camaro has the larger legacy and greater history
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)Theres a company that bought the license to build the 60s mustangs and camaros frames. To the exact spec as they where but now with new metal welds etc. so essentially you could build yourself a 2012 69 camaro lol
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)@pat
Ya the only true paddle shift cars are dual clutch sequential gear box wish is only found in HIGH end models( Ferrari, lambo etc) and custom built race cars. The rest are just faster then normal auto trans you tell a computer to shift
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)Wow is there really a supra versus camaro argument going on? Someone missed Patrick's point......facepalm. carbuzz this is an appropriate facepalm so please don't delete it...please :)
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)I don't really care about original, if Chevy has a better motor available why not put it in? You can gain more with modern tech.
Unearthed: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro(Feb 11, 2012)God I love the rivalry and how long it has lasted, it's what propels company's to make better cars
Nissan GT-R Totals a VW Polo in Brazil(Feb 07, 2012)Public roads as my race course just as the driver in this article obviously did.

Nissan GT-R Totals a VW Polo in Brazil(Feb 07, 2012)Hmm I see I'm dealing with a lack of deductive comprehension, when did I ever say speeding isnt breaking the law? When did I say it's ok to speed?

Nissan GT-R Totals a VW Polo in Brazil(Feb 07, 2012)@nick
Lol you really don't get it do you? Also There is a difference between going 15 over on a freeway at 3am then going 120 in at 55 on a busy street. And no duh this convo comes up these articles, its more then just relative to the topic.
Nissan GT-R Totals a VW Polo in Brazil(Feb 06, 2012)@nick
There IS a time and a place, I had a heavily modified FC that was a v-8 killer along with prepping my 8 for NASA wheel to wheel competition. Never have I gone more then 15 over the speed limit or drive like a ass on public roads, I'm smart..
Obama Loves Him Some Mustang Shelby GT500 V8 Muscle(Feb 03, 2012)And that's exactly that, I support him because I feel he is doing a great job regardless of what the news tells you.

Obama Loves Him Some Mustang Shelby GT500 V8 Muscle(Feb 03, 2012)@brad
Not exactly, this was simply Obama enjoying himself so American muscle, had nothing to do with politics and the industry, it's your hatred that made you twist it into something more then what it was.
Obama Loves Him Some Mustang Shelby GT500 V8 Muscle(Feb 03, 2012)See its this exact mentality why nothing is ever acomplished. Everyone is so extreme in their views that anything different is instantly incorrect. Do any of you even know why we "were" bipartisan? Politics are not the Super Bowl but that's how our
Obama Loves Him Some Mustang Shelby GT500 V8 Muscle(Feb 02, 2012)All I have to say is suck it up and get over it. You don't like it? Get your voice heard, gain support, and help become the solution. If all you can do is rant on a car app then your opinion is useless to the betterment of society. If you truly think
Obama Loves Him Some Mustang Shelby GT500 V8 Muscle(Feb 02, 2012)I don't know cars maybe instead of silly rants. you say Libs are whinners? Ford, you where just throwing a fit about his vacation? Talk about calling the kettle black.
Obama Loves Him Some Mustang Shelby GT500 V8 Muscle(Feb 02, 2012)Lol so what your saying is if someone starts bad mouthing our president we cant say anything? Ya that makes sense, maybe because a lot of readers are tired of a select few constantly throwing a fit once obamas name is said and want to talk about oh
