QUOTE (Deskyx @ Oct 21 2014, 04:58 AM) | Well, the title says it all. We have threads for cars we love, cars we want, but none I think for cars we abhor. There's always this car that everyone else likes, but we think its one of the worst cars ever made.
My personal irrational dislike is the Nissan GTR.
To start off, the GTR should have been a godsend for an Import fan such as myself, the first Japanese car to be able to truly take on today's supercars. However, I find it a disgrace to the GTR line, and personally, there is no reason to buy one of these when the Corvette or Viper exists. The GTR's of yesteryear were turbocharged souped up family coupes, similar to the Lancer Evolution. The new one is simply a bloated, hideous, heavy box of a car. It's like if Mitsubishi made a car called the Evolution. No.
I definitely respect the amount of engineering and the performance it has, but many have said it to be the dullest fast car next to the Audi R8. They say you don't do much of the driving. Annoying fanboys don't help either "AMS ULTRA GTRZZ PWNZ ALL!1!!!". Pshh, anyone can get 4000hp of an engine. "BUT TEH AMS GTRZZZ REKZ EVERYTHING!!!" its not even a stock car stop comparing it to stock cars.
I'm sorry if I offended anybody. But feel free to post your opinions. |
as a GTR die hard fan I have to agree with this, the car is just different from the skyline GTR, some even say it's easy to drive even if the VDC is off (I want to drive one but unfortunately not rich or lucky enough LOL), the old GTR (R32-R34) is mostly praised. but the new GTR is somewhat (as some people I know) too easy to drive. what even bugs me is the transmission. I was expecting something like Z34's manual transmission. not dual clutch whatever it is.

QUOTE (Deskyx @ 3 hours, 59 minutes ago) | They could have just made a G37 GT-R. Swap in a stroked RB26DETT, add obnoxious boxy front bumper, mask the tail lamps, add rear wing. Done classic GTR.
The Viper ACR and ZR1 beat its time back then, so a manual wasn't them back. It was the weight. |
the viper ACR and corvette ZR1 both had like an extra 150hp though. ...make a new car and put a reworked engine from something made 10 years ago riiiiiiiiiight This post has been edited by WRX22B1998 on Nov 14 2014, 05:48 AM

Apparently, the Straight 6 era is dead after 2005. V6s are the new Yolo. Look what happened to BMW's 3 series, a forerunner on the L6 next to the GT-Rs... [ Post merged on Nov 14 2014, 03:31 PM ]QUOTE (Deskyx @ 9 hours, 29 minutes ago) | I can argue that the GTR has AWD. Hell you can dismiss the ZR1 as not being as impressive because that car has some of the most advanced suspension in its day. But the ACR is literally just an aero and suspension package, the latter I'm not even sure about.
It worked for Lamborghini which has till recently, used the same V12 from the 60s. |
The Corvette ZR1 is a bore-stroked, aspirated LS series Corvette engine.
As per wikipedia:
QUOTE | The Corvette ZR1 engine is a heavily modified version of the LS3 Corvette engine, designated the supercharged LS9 Corvette engine. |
It's on the same boat as the Viper ACR.
Plus, the innovation of Nissan is that, though not an RB by blood, the VR38 is a totally new production engine, not a 10-year reworked one.

The new M3 has a twin turbo I6. Rejoice! Unfortunately it is a pig of a car, and has none of that //M-ness. Rather it feels like an Audi RS model, all power and not much else.
As I have said before, the ACR is really just an aero & handling pack for a 6 year old car and whupped the equivalent year's GTR by 13 seconds. If that isn't impressive I don't know what is.

It's ok, I like Honda's too. In fact I my most disliked japanese car brand is Nissan. I only like the Z33, Z32, Z34, S30, R32-R34 and that's it. I personally dislike Silvias and the new GTR. Although seeing a very pro-Nissan bias in this forum, I am pretty much all alone in this.
