Is it a problem that I personally don't like the looks of the clunky GT-R? And yes, I do drive a 3rd gen. Is there a problem with that too? What do you drive? Because my "retarded" 3rd gen will probably *** rape plenty of GT-Rs I come accross.

So what you're saying is that it's ok for someone to have an opinion as long as it's the same opinion you have? On top of that, he was saying he prefers the Viper to the GT-R. What does that have to do with a 3rd gen?

Wow, nice kill by the GT-R. That Viper was getting it hard on the lower rolls and then pulling on those higher rolls. Both cars move out for sure.

I personally don't like the gtr... It requires no driver skill to run there expected times.. Not a fan of there paddle shifting/transmission

I'm not a big fan of GT-Rs either. I should have bought a 5.0.


Anyone want to start a poll? What car do LS1tech members hate the most? A 5.0, Mach1, or GTR? Those have to be the top three, I'm curious as to the order: 1st, 2nd, 3rd place. Keep up the hatin'


OP, thanks for posting the video. Cool cars.

Oh look... GTR owners telling us how hard it is to drive an AWD car with a 20k+ transmission.

However will I launch my AWD car!? Wait... you're saying you just point it straight and press the accelerator?!

No one hates GTRs... We just all agree that they are gay. Hated cars include: elmeromaro 5th gen, stopsigns mach1, adamantiums 5 second civic, etc.

your right... seems like it would take more experiance then a 16yold that had his license less then a week to figure out how to use the Lc on the gtr?... I like how fast they are.... just not how easy it is to drive them and they don't have a stick model of it. Once I get old and tired of actually driving my car.. I'll buy a gtr.. But this blows my mind.. http://youtu.be/w_a5C-iCLUU

Idk it might be a personal thing.. but I would get butt hurt as hell if a guy that never drove a car in his life drives my car and is able to pull off the same times as I could with little to no experiance of driving.. Gtr's are fast cars with little to no experiance needed.. I personally like challanges...

I think GTRs are ugly as **** too.

But with mods they are extremely tough to beat on a roll or from a dig

Seriously? This argument again?

If everybody had that mindset, we would ALL own turbo Hondas

Lol @ all of the hate towards GT-Rs. Yeah, their looks have taken awhile to grow on me, but you cannot deny what awesome performance machines they are and how they seem to defy physics with their weight, handling, and speed.

I like the looks of the gtr, I really wanted one but I just couldn't get over lack of a true manual. Sure the auto is quick and can shift way quicker than we ever could, but I just can't live without banging gears.

Lots of gtr hate.....I cant say anything bad about a car thats easy to drive. In a perfect world Id own an awd paddle shifting auto Gtr and a Viper. Ive went on many cruises with gtrs and gallardos while in my viper.

When theres a light drizzle out the gtrs and gallardos dont give a fock and just keep hammering through curves. On the otherhand in a light drizzle I shift slowly and take curves at a low clip.

Knock the easy to drive aspect all you like but there are times that its a very good thing.

I also personally think a 3rd gen is a better looking car than a 4th gen...which would be the reason I sold my firehawk to build my 86...

I'll half agree, 3rd Gen Camaro > 4th Gen in the looks department. Firebirds are a different story, IMO, but I still really like the looks of 3rd Gen Firebirds.
