I bet there is a civic that will whoop your āss too. So if we want to compare apples to bottled water, we can.

This if the FI thread. Of course there's someone always faster. But no one here would buy a car and leave it stock. Why spend gtr money to be slower than a boosted g or z. We all know in this community they will upgrade and the price tag for that is the scary part.

But as for OP, go ahead and buy a gtr. I'm sure you'll stay stock when ur older model 370 with boost leaves u in the dust.

Like someone else mentioned, why even buy a Z then? Why not drive a stripped down supra or a 9 second civic? By your logic you shouldn't own a Z either.

Let's talk Top Gear. While you might with the first 10 times, on pull 11 your motor would go "bang clatter clatter clatter"


And THAT is why a more expensive car starts out more expensive, lol

I'd love to have a GT-R out in the snow. I imagine that'd be super fun.
