Ok yall know i'm a forum rat and read a bunch on cars and watch a bunch of vids etc.
So the new thing is the Stage 2+ E85 GTRs fucking haul ... and any retard can do it.
It annoys the crap out of me these punks with no skill having thaaaat much power at their hands...
It's like every forum too... track day guys are getting passed by these talentless asshats (think EVO VIII x2) the drag guys are, the street guys are... it's just nuts...
I mean i will give it to nissan... they've made one of the best platforms ever... 3k in mods + a new tranny when you blow it up and you're in the low 10 sec 1/4 miles...

It's to the point where i'm like ohh hey a gtr... great... another shit-talking ass-hat that didn't do any work on, nor knows anything about how to drive or work on a car...
Sorry i'm posting this here because i really don't want to feed the trolls elsewhere but i needed to vent.

wanna impress me with a nissan? make it that fucking fast with a true manual and a clutch pedal.
like you said, any idiot with $$ can do it with the current setup.
also, what happened to all the hype about voiding warranties if you take it to a track?

you sound butthurt bruh. why not get some more money and you can play too? or get your ass to the track so can attain some of the cred you look down on these guys for not having? I'm sure I could build some shit box to go fast, and that's cool and whatnot, but I'd rather buy something that came fast and was meant for it.

^[sarcasm] have you ever run such a 1/4 on a stock race replica, or similar? [/sarcasm]
The average dingaling with a slip-on muffler and Joe Rocket leathers could hardly muster such a time from a stock wheelbase bike.

TKE nailed it. What nice car doesn't have a douchebag following? Vipers, Corvettes, Porsches, Lambos, everydamnthingFerrarieverputout, etc. all fit into this category. It's like Nissan has finally made it, lol. If it weren't for them we wouldn't have nice used mall cruisers flowing into the market every year.

I don't see a problem with taking the responsibility of shifting away from the driver. I do think you have to learn to control vehicle dynamics while manually shifting if you want to consider yourself a complete driver. I can see how taking it away allows a driver to focus on hitting the right lines and loading the weight distribution through power/braking with both hands on the wheel which will make them a better driver in the long run. These transmissions are nothing like the shitboxes that were available when I started driving too. As long as the driver can appreciate the skill required to make a manual transmission car handle and admit to their personal shortcomings I don't have a problem with it. I can see the beef when these guys start talking like they're Mario Andretti though. There will always be something new to learn for most of us regardless of whether we're shifting the transmission or not. That's part of the fun.

yeah.. knowing how to launch without looping it and/or frying the clutch isn't trivial. I've been on the wrong side of that and almost ass packed a guy in a starting grid once. A friend looped it last year and was only on a 750 and she's no novice racer. power shifting without tearing up your transmission isn't trivial either because there's no way you're getting a time like that using the clutch after the launch.

dead on. most ducati riders are complete posers and totally annoying but they make some fairly capable gear. the 848evo is ridiculous, especially for being allowed to compete with 600's but 9/10 times I'll out ride the guy on his 1098 on my 2003 zx6r just on cornerspeed. doesn't mean I wouldn't ride one.4/9/2013 6:54:58 PM |

Nissan already made it there when they started making 350Z's 4/9/2013 9:45:20 PM |
Skack All American 31140 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah, it was just what the Viper/Vette/Ferrari/Lambo crowd were waiting for. (I think Maximas, Sentra Rs, 240sx's, 350z's, etc. are all great rides that have their place in the heirarchy; but this isn't what we're talking about here.)
