Default Another New GTR encounter

so i got bored today in fargo and decided to break the car out for the day.
i was working in studio went home with one of my buddies for dinner left for studio again and saw a new black gtr go by while i was turning onto university. i get stopped next to him at a light behind two other people. so i sat and revved at him he wouldnt look at me the cutout was open so he heard me. he waved looking irritated. so we get going have some room in front of us and im trying to get him to wind it up for me i keep mashing it untill i have a length and slow down next to him and keep looking over with a big stupid grin i roll my window half down to hear him wind it up instead he waits till we are slowing down for other motorists rolls down his window and says something i didnt hear and "you lose by lots" in an eastern european accent...

anyway sorry it was kind of anticlimactic i thought it was funny he felt the need to tell me that though.... at least the last gtr i had a run in with ricer passed me

its run ins like that that make me want the turbo kit so bad...

I have a GTR encounter every day. We have a red one on our showroon floor that hasn't sold for quite a while. I walk past it maybe 4 times a day.

Stupid people in Fargo... don't race with snow on the street. I'd probably beat you with my 4wd pickup this time of year

I think even with a turbo kit, it would still give our cars a pretty damn good run. IMO I dont think they tell the true horsepower of the GTR's.

GTR's are damn quick cars, they can see deep 11's stock. Plenty fast enough lol

And then you need to consider it's not meant for 1/4 mile at all.

Even with a turbo it would not really be a good race. The gt-r shifts faster, has more gears to choose from, can do 190mph, is all wheel drive so from a dig wouldnt be a race and it can turn. No matter how you raced it, any weather, any road or from any speed, it would probably still win.
