Mr CLuTcH · 07-25-2010, 10:05 PM

I was on my way home from work today a little after sun-down, and low and behold, look what pulls up next to me on the highway-a candy-apple red Nissan GTR! And oh my god! Guys, when I tell you this car is absolutely amazing, words cannot describe the feeling of being in the presence of this thing! It's ****ing bad-ass!

Now I'm driving with my music up to at least a 34 in volume, and you can still hear this thing roaring right next to me! Doing 60!! It was ridiculous! I turned the music down and looked to my left and the guy rolls his window down and gives me a thumbs up and says "dude I love your car"!! And I'm there just in utter amazement! lol. He loves my car?! Dude, yours is over 70k! He was a totally cool guy though too! I thought he'd be an ass because at first he was baiting me by riding my tail and getting aside me riding neck and neck. I didn't give into temptation though, I stood no chance lol.

So me and the guy just drove for at least 4 more miles playing around! He rolls his window down and tells me "hey man hit that thing!". So I turn everything off, TC and stable-track, and floor it, the engine roars and quickly takes off as an SS should, I then slow down and he comes next to me again and says "lol ok now watch this!" This guy floors his GTR and this thing totally erupts with total utter noise of destruction, and takes off ridiculously fast! At that point I just lose my mind! Me and him went at it 1v1 just for the fun of it before we parted, and naturally he murders me from 120 on, he literally RAN away.

It was absolutely amazing, and it actually motivates me to WORK HARD, because that's exactly the type of things I want in my life! A ridiculously fast car, a hot girl friend and lots of money! rofl

This was just an amazing experience for me to see this thing in person, on the road, roaring loud, it just makes you feel good and gives you a deeper appreciation for these other cars out there that have high hp numbers besides the Camaro. The guy and me passed each other at least 3 times, each time he gives me the thumbs up with a smile ear to ear...even though he can afford probably 3 Camaros. Priceless experience.

I still cannot stand the sight of that thing...

I guess I'm predisposed -- but I get no shivers or feeling of awe when I see one.

I respect the hell out of the GTR. It's faster than just abotu anything else less than $100k and faster than a lot of cars over $100k. The looks are subjective but the performance can not be debated.

lexlueger · 07-25-2010, 10:22 PM

The GTR is on my "list" ... I got side tracked by the camaro.

I agree. I parked next to one at (of all places) the grocery store a few weeks ago and while it got my attention I was not a fan

Something about it just isn't quite right?

NOT!

Well.......technically it can....After the transmission-grenade debacle and the false-'Ring times....all we know is it's fast.

AZCamaroFan · 07-25-2010, 10:27 PM

just looks like a Mitsubishi Eclipse to me or something.
i saw an Audi R8 last week though.

SSOOCH · 07-25-2010, 10:29 PM

I've lined up with one. He left me like I was in reverse. They're BANANAS!!

I thought the 5.2 version was impressive by standards?

Wait....it's faster than just about anything under 100k? What about a Z06 vs GTR? Who'd win that one? Personally I'd take the Z06. What about you? Besides the Z06, yea,..it destroys everything else for the 70k price tag.

But God, those GTR's are loud.

I love the look of the Audi R8, but in the HP world it isn't all that. A Camaro with a super-charger or turbo would probably eat it up.
