Well, the HP is apparently going to be fully used but the reason it's a Hybrid is due to the ever harsher emissions laws in Europe, so about 730HP comes form the Engine and the other 170 comes from the electric motor. |
The play with emissions and fuel consumption numbers in a bad way these days.
Upcoming Ferrari F150 will also be a hybrid and direct competition. |

Dunno why, but something tells me you're full of . You've probably only seen a GT-R in a parking garage. Why on earth would you buy a POS Celica from 87, better yet a blown 87 Celica being in HS or not, and put money into it? Meanwhile you can hate on a GT-R lol. What are u driving now? |
Haha.. Ok, so the only thing I really did to the celica was put a bucket seat in it haha.. But we've got swervy roads here yo, going along rivers and . It's kinda like Gran Turisimo deep forest, only narrower roads.
And my hate for GT-R is because it's too easy to drive. I haven't driven one, but I know plenty who has, and when those airheads manage to do a full lap on the rally course without spinning out, then that car is too easy to drive. It's not supposed to be easy to race.
What I drive now is a Mégane. The french know how to make cars go fast on mountain roads, while still being cheap to drive in the city. |

Too many of them around, and too many of them have gone off the road, so get insurance on those is idiotic haha. Plus I still haven't ridden one where I didn't feel like the shockers were too stiff. That's what she said..
Call me weird, but I actually prefer FWD to 4WD. Sure, you have grip where you wouldn't have grip, but you get to drive the car, plus you have to know your car, to the absolute max to be able to race. At least against others in 4wd cars. |

HOLD THE UP. This is one of the worst clusters I've ever seen.
I guy that owns a Rav4 and another that own a Megane professing what are the best super/sports cars. A ing Renault, peice of , Megane.
I wouldn't give them the steam off my on a cold winter's day. My mum owned one and ing hated it too.
And would people stop commenting on cars they've never driver, but apparently "know" because their mates once saw one. |

LOL Megane... LMFAO :haha:
Dude, as a GT-R owner, I appreciate your honesty - you're full of and you're not afraid to admit it.
As a car nut who had the likes of BMW M3, Audi RS4, Camaro, Supra, whole bunch of Acuras, manual or automatic and have TRACKED many of the sporty cars - I personally appreciate the fact that I can go into turn and obliterate your rwd geriatric mobiles - aka VETTE. And if you think it doesn't take skill driving GT-R and rules of physics don't STILL apply - you're even MORE full of than initially suspected. If you get stupid, at best - you're chewing the nearest pile of tires. At worst, you're worm food.
The worst piece of I ever drove was the M3. Not because of handling - which was tier than Supra that cost significantly less - but because it NEVER LEFT THE ING SERVICE AREA. You know you got a piece of product when it has 45 pages of repairs and you have to sue the BMW s, just so that you can get rid of that lemon.
The only thing I wish it had was the 6MT and if I could get my sweaty palms on a legal R34 on this side of the pond - I'd do it in a heartbeat just for that reason alone. However, DSG is a joy to use and when I miss the stick, I still have my daily ride with "proper" tranny. The engine sound when the monster turbo kicks in is so ing sweet, I drove it from Atlanta to Salem, NC without even turning the radio on. That's music, my friend.
Lastly, when you floor your car and you just see the digits whirl past 100MPH and you double-check to see if you're not dreaming when it reads 140MPH but feels like 80... you know you got one hell of a ride.
But, if you'd rather have something challenging to drive - get a ing horse and a buggy - those are mad tricky!!! You can stick 48" spinnaz on that bitch, tho - you be the pimp in your Amish community.
Anywho - GT-R is by far one of the best cars on the road today and nearly every single autocritic/journo agrees that it's a technological marvel. I'm sure you have the credibility that Clarkson/Hammond/May can only dream of, so your opinion really matters. :rolleyes:
I guess haters gonna hate 
EDIT:
The reason I got a GT-R was because it's a monster like no other. Bonus points: there are not that many on the road (at least outside of Cali/Miami), so I don't see myself coming/going. Even better when people go "What the is that???" when they see it. Although, I will admit - most women are completely oblivious to it; it's a total "sausage magnet", which is somewhat of a let-down. But... it's a very civil car to drive around the city - if you don't step on it, it feels just like your regular sedan and actually has a usable trunk. Rear seats - that's another story. A double amputee oompa loompa couldn't fit in there... but who gives a ?

The last point on insurance - funny. My insurance difference between an Acura RSX TypeS and GT-R? $200 more a year for GT-R. Go figure. |

I own and operate a small racing track, buddy. I think I've raced my fair share of cars, to be able to state my opinion, even though I've never owned them. |
