Another entertaining thread from the gtr forum

[Tigger]

I'm thinking that the people that are buying these cars already don't make enough money to actually afford it so they cheap out on everything and still want to have the image of being a "baller." Too bad they are so easy to point out. And too bad they exist only to destroy what is good right off the showroom floor. The engineers never intended for the GTR to be blown to 1000hp and then some. It wasn't designed for that. And like a few already stated, it loses focus on what the car is about. THE TRACK. That thing where you make a bunch of turns and go "weeeeeeee!!!" Not at a drag strip. It isn't a drag car. There's plenty of drag cars out there built in the garages of old guys that have nothing better to do with their time that will be more than happy to blow the doors off a GTR any day. Hell, my own view of owning one has shifted away towards different ventures due to the bad press these clowns are giving it. And then there's the youtube videos. I can only guess that if a cop sees you driving one they'll automatically assume you've been out road racing and they'll be watching. Not the attention I'd want. But I digress...
