Nice kill! Hitman is probably trying to figure out why he couldn't fall asleep last night. He could sense a disturbance in the GT-R force.

KFC still has a special reserved spot for him at MIR.

People seem to find my post about Tercels more interesting than they do of Hitmans GTR... And there's nothing interesting about a Tercel.

I would like more details about the Regal. Is it similar to the Bonneville SSei?

I agree with you. Gotta respect what Nissan accomplished though. No other company did it like them on this aspect. I have no interest for this car though, just respect.

Having the ability to run 1.5-1.6 60 fts on the street with a stock tire is awesome, and it not be a drag radial or slick. Doesn't matter what car it's in, just happens to be a Nissan.

NEWS FLASH!!!! all cars are computers on wheels anymore. Just some do it better than others and some get it stock where others have to go aftermarket. I've never heard someone refer to a supra running proefi with all the bells and whistles making it much easier to run hard in the same vein as a gtr.

Not my point... my original statement was that it would have been pointless to race from a dig. FWD car on street tires VS computer on wheels. Its not my fault another GTR owner got upset at the statement. I never said it was a bad thing...
