    yeah, that is a cool site. the gtr is a bit weak though imo, while the slr gives me a hardon like a teenager on viagra.

    I guess the Z06 and Viper are REALLY weak then...and WAY too expensive. The GT-R out performs and costs less.

    Launch mode 4500 RPM AWD. I wonder what the 60' will be.

    The absolute best, most spectacularly wonderful part about this car is it has 20" wheels. As such its expected that R compound track radials will finally become available in 20" sizes. Their stock front size is a 255/40/20 and that will work, but I bet someone will make a 255/35/20 and that will be the *perfect* size for us.

    I really really wish I had launch mode... I got 2 launch modes
    1) Sit and spin like Drew, lift, spin like Drew, lift, and then it's in 2nd.
    2) The other guy didn't think I was racing.

    [best 60': LESS than 2.30]

    I like ALL cars but IDK Steve, I saw both at the SF auto show last Nov (lucky they had them both) and damn that GT-R has presence! It's much badder looking in person than in pix. The SLR is cool too only ... it's kinda funny looking in person with a reaaaaaaaaaal long snout, the proportions just aren't right, imo. One car that was really bad azz in person was that new Audi R8 (lucky again it was there), have you seen one of those?? That thing is sweet!!

    Fight? Not really... debate? Yep. That Nissan is badass. Period. I'm still not the biggest fan of its appearance, but its abilities are without question incredible.

    haha i meant debate...and i never doubted its performance...

    i just say that of the 7 Nissans my family has owned over the past 15 years (dont ask...now that i am older i have talked them all into buying better cars haha)

    ALL of them have had serious major problems....

    that car will be good for as long as it runs...which is questionable to me...that is why i dont like this car...nissan as a brand is just about as low as it can be on the food chain in my eyes...but again that is my own personal opinion from a former nissan owner lol
