I reckon you'd be better off buying a RS6 than spending all the time and money and enduring the frustration and problems and reliability issues you'd get when super or turbocharging an R36...

Exactly, I wouldn't bother doing any mod on such a nice car. IMO, if you want something SUPER FAST. You should go for the GTR or some supercar.
For eg. Like those rex on the road, equipped with super huge exhaust, may be a CAI, chipped etc. It only makes a tiny difference. Will the car FLY with all this mods. Will they beat a Lambo?? The answer is NO. Its waste of money. Would you modify a Ferrari or Lambo if you have one? In conclusion, if you really want a super fast car, save up and go for one of those. I would rather drive it super SLOW if I have a Lambo so people could see me and my car. :P
Speaking of which.......has anyone read the test drive by Motor recently on the GTR? WTF....a Nissan that eats 911 Turbos for breakfast!?!?!
I'd take one of those if it wasn't for practicality issues.....not to mention the inflated risk of getting a gun pointed in my face at traffic lights lolol.
Yeah, the GT-R is a seriously quick car.
When Nissan Australia get their act together and decide which dealers are going to be GT-R dealers, Dad will be ordering one. I'll almost certainly be banned from even looking at it.
I don't know why he wants it... he's old and something like an Aston or 911 or an M3 would be better for him, rather than some boy racer supercar from Japan.
How old is old? I'm "old" and I'd get a kick out of owning a car like that!Quote:

I definitely can't drive a GTR......well I can but I'll lose my licence in less than a week. The temptation to drag a WRX (or some other lame wannabe performance car that makes a lot of sound but not much else) at the lights would be too hard to resist.
LOL.....Thats exactly what I would do as well. So its better to stay away from these super cars to keep my license clean.Quote:

NO CLASS at all. If i was driving a Ferrari and some WRX wanna race me straight line. I wouldnt bother looking at him, would I:???:. We are in different level/class my friend.
