I know damn well there are plenty of four bangers that will blow my wig off but who gives a shit. Why would anyone even compare a GTR to an EVO? This makes no sense. You can't get that kind of recognition in a DSM. I don't give a shit who beats me I'm driving the black sheep of exotics ugly, nasty and sexy all wrapped in one package. Are you fricken kidding me, it's a GTR!!! I'm so stoked you can't even believe. I thought long and hard and everything pointed to the GTR. I wanted something that no matter what race I lose at the end of the day I can look in my garage and see this machine parked in my drive way. I know I could have purchased many cars brand new and dump some money into it to make it fast on a fairly cheap budget but why? I wanted different, iconic, rare. Just recently I was blessed with being able to pay of debt, retire from 20 years in the Marine Corps, 3 combat tours in Iraq and a list of other self sacrifices. My realistic dream car was a Lexus ISF I wanted this car so bad but I just didn't have the funds. I went paparazzi But never in millions year did I ever think to own one. I remember being in Vegas in 2009 and seeing the GTR for the first time in real life. I still own it gave it to my daughter after I purchased my dream car about 5 months ago. That car has over 200,000 miles and still runs like a champ. I put some mods here and there and it was an awesome car to drive. I hope to own one some day but I had to wait to buy used so I can afford it. Then the IS 300 came out and I said OMG that is one sexy looking Lexus. Man I thought this car was fast and it really was a fun car to drive. I remember my 1991 Talon TSI DOHC AWD back in 1996 I purchased used for $12,000. If your talking a car dedicated to racing, sometimes new is defiantly not better unless you are a millionaire Lambo joe Just a trading of perspectives thats all. Building up a talon to run low 10's is about 10 grand. Curently at around 100K give or take a new gtr absolutely struggles to get out of the 10's and stock it won't do it on the street. When going into full drag mode the eclipses and talons are VERY difficult to beat on the street. However with that comes a hefty price tag. I really like the gtr, but it is a different platform that is a jack of all trades master of most in a sense. Also the cars ability to hook on the street is purely amazing considering it's one of the few bargain bin platforms that can lay absolute waste to most other new cars from a dig. The statement I made about the Dsm being a cheaper plarform is common sense. There are plenty of topics on this forum of people trying to get the best bang for the buck going full bolton E-85. I get what your trying to say however some people have limitless funds for this game, however the majority of people don't. There are valid points on both sides, however for your average person 100 grand plus for a car is a bit much. I dont know of any 200k dollar POS's that you are claiming to know of. they dont sit in the driveway as you imagine, hence why you dont see Lambos being sold with blown motors. You dont need to sell your DSM as better than it is as a lot of GTR owners have owned Evos and Eclipses and some still do.Īlso, people that blow the motors on their exotic cars pay to get them repaired. Thats fine and dandy on the DSM forums but here its insulting to me and others.īe honest in the descriptions and if you dont know the mods then say you dont know. The OP is clearly selling us the the "lowly DSM" was able to take down the mighty "godzilla" The classic David vs Goliath story. That GTR is a dog, run against a purpose built drag car. Its says they run similar times but the result doesnt show anything close to that. It says its on e85 yet the shots of the engine compartment show no e85 flex fuel kit. The title describes the DSM as built, daily driven,stock gears and talks it up but doesnt mention that the GTR is also probably daily driven (at least as much as the DSM here)and on stock gears. Let me explain why this bothered me so maybe you will understand ( if you even care) Bragging about it speaks to the type of person you are. Posting videos of GTRs getting beat on a GTR forum is simply trolling. You will find that as you acquire wealth, your outlook on things will change and you will understand (kind of like you thought your 1st car was fast UNTIL you bought your current car). Money only has everything to do with it for people that dont have money.(If that makes sense to you).
