Supra vs new Nissan

[91Supra313]

So I was on my way home earlier from school in Mufreesboro, when I look over and see this bad ass Nissan come flying past me. Me being the dumbass I am, decide to open the Supra up a bit. So at about 90 I catch the Nissan, and pass it by like 2 car lengths. When out of no where I hear the meanest sounding engine I have ever heard in my life! Then out of nowhere it blows past me at well over 100 MPH. Then I see the sexiest car ever! It was a Nissan GTR!!!!!! Cali plates. The only car that has beaten me so far. I have beaten a few Porches, a few BMWs, a new Camaro SS....Even a small crotch rocket. But this car.....I never stood a chance. Had it of been any other car, I would have rushed to my garage and hid the Supra for fear of being laughed at...... But this was a GT-R! and I kept up with it....even if it was for only a few seconds....lmao

those cars got balls man, and dont feel bad, cuz our cars are 30 years old XD

Oh believe me I don't feel bad at all. When he shot away from me, I had a moment in my head from The Fast and The Furious, when Brian loses to Dom for the first time and is laughing and says to Dom, " Dude I almost had you! " That is all I can think of.

It was one of those good losing feelings

There is a local GTR I see about once a week or so. It's a NASTY sounding car for sure. The guy really babies it and whenever I'm next to him at a light or whatever...he purposefully never even looks over. He definitely has that, "I'm out of your league" attitude...but it's totally warranted haha.

11 second cars.

Ran into one a while back, I'd have loved to see the expression on his face when he lost, but he took an exit behind me.

I wanna get an R32 one of these days and embarrass the new GT-R guys for even thinking that they're even deserving of the same badge...

My jaw dropped last year when I watched an integra beat one on the strip........then it dropped again when I saw the integra guy's girlfriend.

It's going to be quite a few years until you can get an R32 over here legally.

As far as the good losing feeling.....DAMN RIGHT! That is one car I really didn't mind losing too. It was a Silver one from Cali.

Living in Wyoming has it's perks. If it has anything even remotely resembling a VIN, I'd be willing to bet I could register it. Biggest issue would be getting it here in the first place...

those gtr's do sound sick!!!..and they will pull you back in your seat for shure..was it a black one??? my buddy shane lives in smyrna and he has a black one,I WANT IT SOOOO BAD

I don't doubt that you could register it. Problem would be getting it past customs. That just would not happen unless you have enough cash sitting around to me it DOT legal and that is over $30k. I know because I have done the research. I actually have a sticky thread on the main home page here about it. Supracenttral went ahead and tossed it on there.

Eh man, I have been trying to get in touch with. Need to get this man a cell phone. Tired of calling Heather all the time because she never answers the dang phone. Get ahold of your buddy because I would love to see one sitting in one place and not blowing past me. If you read one of my others posts in this thread I said it was silver..... No big deal, noone ever listens to me. lol.

There is a guy selling a R34 in Jersey that is registered and 50 state legal. He said he would trade for a MKIV too. I would like to have an R34 and kill those GT-Rs.

 

[SupraBro]

silver...haha my bad, i bad about doing quick reads, i should have my iphone back on tomorrow, sorry about all that heather does not answer me either...lol..i will text you my new number tomorrow!

 

[rshn117]

i dont quite understand why those gtrs are so looked up to. the car has no soul id rather have my mk3 than look like a tool in a 2 ton computer with wheels

 

[Supra28]

^ I have nothing against GTR's, but they're aren't all that. They're fast as hell and really do sound badass though. I'd take a turbo A over it any day!

To the OP, what are your numbers?

 

[Poodles]

New GTR is just too big/ugly...just like the new Evo.

And if you heard it, it's not stock. Stock they're quiet (and boring)

I believe ya. There's always someone in the way of our dreams, right? Kinda like the house-shop-mancave I'd like to build, but that's another story for another time...

This is my biggest issue with them. I'm sure just about any of us could run the Nurburgring in under 9:00 with a couple laps under our belts. How much of that car's speed is the electronics, and how much of it is the driver???

Funny these cars started getting fat after the USDM versions came out, coincidence?

 

[Supra28]

Speaking of Evo, how about the new STI's?!! LOL. They're pretty damn fugly imo..

I drove a 2009 GT-R at the Nissan dealer my buddy works at, about a year and a half ago. 140mph in 4th, two gears to go, and then...we hit hills. Oh my god, we hit hills. Yeah, these things are incredibly fast freeway cars, but they HANDLE, too. The driver's portion is having the reaction time and downright balls to keep it on the road and going fast when you're doing 10, 20mph faster through a hairpin curve than you would even dare trying in your Supra. In short, those electronics make all of the car's phenomenal performance accessible to the driver; plus, a lot of the driver assists can be turned off. Traction control, skid recovery, and the shifting options come to mind, as does the automatic brake biasing...all of which can be turned off.

My biggest problem is that the ECU logs *EVERYTHING*, like Big Brother status. If you use launch mode, it records it, and it'll void your warranty as soon as you take it to the dealer for something. On the other hand, it's already equipped with a full-on data acquisition and logging system...which we all know is quite useful. I'll wait until I can find a used 08/09 model, probably sometime in like 2016. Price drop > *
