I think it's a pretty solid ride.

i laughed at my co-worker for taking it in for a suspension squeak.
as i told him, they'll be hunting for it and will most likely not find the sound.

Never having driven the Nurburgring I would say that the GT-R looks like a handful, sort of like a NASCAR car on a road course. Lots and lots of tire scrubbing in the corners so he was definitely close to the limit. Beat previous record by other than GT-R by 50 freaking seconds. Crazy.

GKinColo08TL

Its a rule, cars never make "the" noise when you take them in...

Yumcha

$34.50.

sweet...wealthy robots...

Not at all.. check the gear he was in and RPM through the turns. He was barely driving it. A couple of corrections but only to maintain speed. He's definitely driving it to the limits on a very dangerous course but the GT-R stays planted.

Majofo

Randy Pobst has a bunch of killer driver's car comparos with the GT-R. He spells it out in each one.

Yumcha

People say the GT-R is one of the "easiest" high-performance cars to drive. You almost don't need any training.

Next closest is apparently the M3. I'm not saying Porsche because well, the cars I like are a notch above in price...although, Nissan sure has gone to scalping for the GT-R.

Most grandmas could drive it. I took Xoulu's out for a spin after he kept encouraging me and I did a figure 8 around a light post in front of Planet Fitness (Justn?), then hammered it down a roundabout into traffic. It's fast but it sucks the emotion out of it. Seriously, it's too well mannered. I get more anxious taking out the Tundra on damp roads at 20 mph. I love scaring the shit out of passengers in the Tundra though. I once drifted it along a single lane road close to a cliffline. /coolstory

Yumcha

Wow. I hope to drive a GT-R one day.


Easiest drive I've had in an "uber-car" was the 1992 NSX I seriously considered trading my old CL-S for back in 2004. Holy was that ever fun...

Majofo

Except the shit tires I have on the tundra lose traction at moderate speeds and on any turn.

^ I'm jealous you get to work from home. I'm so fucking bored in the office right now.

Majofo

I've heard the Porsche GT is one of the easier ones to drive, actually.

What do you do Vlad?

there's a vlad here in my office, but he drives a Jag.

Majofo

GT what?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

the 669, duh.

Majofo

oh, I remember hearing you two took a spin in one. Which one of you was pile driving?

Vlad_Type_S

iTrader: (3)

Of course he does. I haven't met an Eastern European without a luxury brand motor, even if they're broke as fuck, they find a way to make the payments. One of my best friends is unemployed and somehow manages to own a 2010 G37. Thefuck.

I'm an electrical engineer, working at a manufacturing facility. I make sure all the test systems are running. I'm bored because nothing is broken.

Majofo

shit, this Vlad is about our age and makes $80k!
He has the supercharged XF or the other one. (they all look the same)



and go break something. lol

Majofo

You call yourself an electrical engineer yet you haven't broken something yet?

Majofo

Beat me to it.

Vlad_Type_S

iTrader: (3)

$80k isn't what it used to be, especially with student loans.

I like the Jags. I think the Model S got some styling cues from them.

Lol. Every single person is telling me to break something. Maybe I can throw some magnets at some circuit boards and wait for a phone call

What do you do?

Majofo

for real.. especially if you live in the Chi..

Majofo

I chew ass and kick gum. I'm easy going and have been known to be generous by handing out raises.

Majofo

just for vlad

my new project manager has been more than kind....

since we had a new addition to the family, he was like "work from home and enjoy the time with the newborn"....else I would have been traveling to Richardson, TX every week (monday-thursday)....

I think starting March, I will be traveling every other week....

Congrats on the family addition swoosh! It's very cool that your employer is giving you that flexibility. Also, I am no longer jealous of you. Nice and quiet around here.

with feeding, we dont get a warning....its like he is all happy and playing and all of a sudden, he is hungry haha...its hysterical....
