    Sorry, G37 does nothing for me. Might as well post up a Civic, does just as much for me. Being honest.

    I'll stick with the LSX GM options...

    i still think that GM quality is junk. the only thing GM cars have going for them is that if you do your own work fixing them is cheap as all hell. i love these cars, but i just want something different to play with.

    although i have been looking at trailblazers and denalis lately.

    Why don't you go dig up Tim King's GP and then stack it up against any of those cars. Why don't you try comparing apples to apples??

    Stock for stock - I'll argue with ANYONE that for performance per dollar return - the GTP is damn near impossible to beat - the SRT4 comes to mind as a possibility, though. Couple that with a great look, features found only on (some) Vettes and Cadillac's (and on NONE of those "cars" you listed) - and you can keep any one of those ****ing tin cans from the orient. Give me the same amount of money that any one of those cost - in that current form - and I will build you 2 GTP"s that will suck the ****ing paint off as they go by them. That's a guarantee.

    ^^ Tim Kings GP? The fastest GP is ZZP's and I can find you plenty of most of those cars that'll rape it and trust me that GP that they have isn't/wasn't cheap. Stock for stock they'd rape a GP so your still wrong.

    Wow. There are good jap cars to mod and they're are ones that aren't so good to mod, I for one am not impressed with the 350z's and the G35's/37's. I know a kid with a G35 and yes it has an sts twin turbo kit, among other mods. My buddy lined up with him in his ctsV (stock m6) I was passenger. We went from a stop 3 times. 1st time ctsV got him from 1st to 3rd gear, the g35 slowly creped up, then the kid in the g35 missed a gear we won by default, the g35 was dead even with us, and i need i remind you the ctsV is completely stock, stock air box and everything. We went a 2nd time same thing as the first run. The 3rd time the g35 didn't miss any gear and he beat us by 1 car length. The kid gave all types of excuses why his car was slow blah blah blah, all the spectators were all disappointed, as was I.

    ^^ Still a V8 plus the price difference lol. For that price I'd get an IS-F that's like 400 some odd hp and would take the older CTS-V.

    Stock for stock - yes - but what is the dollar/hp ratio?? That is the only true basis for this type of discussion. Jesus - I could go spend a cool million on a Veyron - and end of discussion - but somehow I think the $$/HP ratio is a bit off.

    So - what is the basis of this discussion?? "which is the better car" is pretty ambiguous.

    At $40K + for a 1998 Supra TT, and in a lot of cases I know they sold for over $50K - I don't exactly call 320HP worth it.

    And the Skyline doesn't even factor in - as it wasn't a publicly exported vehicle.

    So, again - keep it apples to apples and this could be a constructive discussion.

    The Veryon costs 1.6Mil, has 1001 HP and top speed of 253 MPH.

    The Ultimate Aero costs 550k, has 1183 HP and a top speed of 257 MPH.

    Hm...also I think for the price of what he's saying I'd go for the Infiniti, it's classy but it's got the power when needed. Also off the line it's faster than a lot of cars because of it's AWD.

    At the time 320 was a lot just so you know for the Supra, and it's very mod friendly.

    ISF <> sexy...sorry. I mean...really?? is this about??




    And...now you tell me that you'd take a 400HP ISF with an MSRP of ~$57K over a 556HP CTS-V with an MSRP of ~$59K? Really???

    G35 = turd
    350Z = turd
    G37 = HEAVY, but slightly less turd-like
    Lexus IS(whatever) not impressive for the money - at all.

    You need a money tree to properly mod a supra.

    You obviously can't read because I said over the OLD CTS-V, the new one is tits, totally on a level by itself.

    The IS-F is better than the old CT-V and so is the M3.
