Okay guys, i know its me again with a boring topic, and probably it is getting a tad bit annoying but who cares, right?
anybody wanna share his thought on this topic?
maybe i'll start?
I wasn't a fan of skyline until i was 19, when my friend crashed my beloved supra into a ditch. The poor baby had to be written off and that time i was still doing my degree. Didn't exactly have a lot of money but i wanted to get a "gentlemans" car, beemer but shrugged off the idea because i told myself i wasn't gonna touch any european car until i am 30, besides i'm young and i should be off with a jap 2 doors coupe!
so i opted for the R32 GTR, because it was the closest rival of what a supra was. With the cash i had from the insurance total write-off and some other cash which my friend had compensated because of guilt i finally settled with the godzilla. There wasn't any ZTH or similar forums back then where you can find your car on the internet/forum(and get fucked like usual lol), finding one was a total bitch.Cut the long story short, i got one and handed the man cash and got it home.
First impression, so its a "sports" car, apart from the fugly interior than the supra, it still feels like a fugly complete noob car with less than attractive electronics(compared to the supra) which only losers will drive and glorify, for the first 45 mins cruising around i still felt that i have made the biggest mistake of my life, not until i decided to navigate to the faster side of the road with less traffic.
The power wasn't exactly what to shout about because i had the "slightly modded" supra,but when it rolled from the start with the AWD with the power to weight ratio manueuvring through corners like the charm with its power to weight ratio, it was nothing that a supra could have archieved. The supra was heavy and it was like trying to land a plane in shear wind through the corners, i couldn't really step on the gas until i exit it, but with the R32 i was able and more daring to do that.
i then realised, although it has a smaller displacement,stockish, and super fuglier it still gives me the best satisfaction when pulling from a standstill, the gear ratios of a supra is fucked and i didn't like it because it would just "howl" when cruising around at lower rpm asking me to drive faster. After a while, my business kicked off and i had a bit cash to spend, and ended up getting quite a few GTRs. Don't get me wrong, the supra is a fantastic chick magnet back then i would have still gotten Supras if it wasnt for the fact that they stopped producing models after the last batch.
