Aaaaaaaaaaaand lock.

Point stands. You are as fast as your paycheck and your balls will let you.

bikes have nothing to do with this discussion, i know you are trying to insult me with that ricer qoute you just made up, but you are comparing apples to oranges there, so its not really a good insult. I might be offended if i was stupid. but you dont know me. so ill let that one slide.

Using the same argument that kids on HondaTech use is pretty weak... And they do not think they are stupid for using it either. :shrug:

Nismo tuned GTR at Island tonight ran an 11.6......at least that's what it said on it.

i didnt know they used that argument! wow! thank you for enlightening me, you learn something everyday. is it not true though? should i be mad if you throw all these insults at me? if i call you a faggot are you going to get mad? because if you do get mad then it must be true.

BTW: sorry Al for hijacking your thread, im done trying to be a tough guy on the internet.

Its ok Doug.
What did we learn in this thread?
Well, we learned that the GT500KR is just another big let down from the Speshal Vehicles Team over at Ford. We learned that the Corvette Z06 is one of the best bang for the buck cars out there. We also learned that the GTR is a fanboy car, and while no media or any other public testing has done to prove that a bone stock GTR is faster then a Z06 around the track.
But all that doesnt matter if you dont like modern cars and like to build things yourself. While the fight for home built vs factory made will be a fight that has gone on for half a century, and will go on till man no longer needs a car to traverse across small to great distances. We know that the people who build the car will probably get just as much enjoyment out of it, if not more, then someone who can go in and purchase a modern super car, but purchasing said car comes with millions of dollars of super intelligent R&D from engineers that have more time behind a race car then all of us on this site put together. And they put this package together for you with a warranty and the ability to drive it normally every day, without problems.

Im glad we all learned from this thread.

1. I do not get offended at things that people say over the internet, so call me what you want.
2. Everyone knows the ricer argument, there's no need to back pedal newb. Just quit yapping, and all will be fine.
3. Good call on stopping w/ e-toughness.

/off topic

actually if you really must know, his comment was the same exact comment you made. he took your opinion, threw it away as not valid and offered a cheaper solution. sure he compared apples to oranges but you compared your apples to their bannanas. lets take a look.


Buying a 100k dollar car gets you performance but also a few more things...

1. Awesome looks. You can hate the gtr but i like it, dont care for the c6
fixed headlights.

2. Ride Quality. You can build a 10 second car for cheap but i bet its loud
obnoxious and probably had lots of fumes, whereas the z06/gtr will
perform how you want without a horrible ride (to the everyday person)

3. Dont have to run around trying to find someone to pass your 10 second car
through inspection.

4. Vehicle is stock and dont have to worry about cops trying to give you
extra tickets.

5. Creature comforts. 4 adults can comfortably sit in a gtr 4 door, two in a
vette. how many people can you fit i the back of your 10 second car
after half of it is a roll cage. does your car have gps....onstar ( rocks)
hookups for your mp3 player? leather seats?? power adjustable seats?
heat/ac anything? didnt think so

6. Vehicle is brand new, which means no shakes, rattles or bumps. i bet your
10 second built car rides like a school bus. Also your the ONLY one that
has driven that vehicle. feels good.

7. these vehicles are configured to last in the stock configuration. how long
do you think a fully built n20 motor is going to last?


those are the reasons that people buy these cars. also i hear gas mileage is pretty decent on these cars too. but thats another topic.
