Nancies haven't been hitting on you lately? Do you feel lonely?

You forgot these guys, I guess we must now refer to them as nancies.

they are great hi-performance cars and for the dollar, even better.
A buddy of mine just bought a new 2010 white example.

these car will go down in history just as the acura nsx and toyota supra turbo. really great cars, but in 10 years nobody really cares about them except for the young import tuner crowd that can finally afford to buy them and mod them to whatever that generation deems "popular" at the time.

the porsche turbo really needs to pull its socks up with competition out there like this.

with that said, there is just "something" about driving a porsche 911 which just feels intimate. You cannot get the same feeling in the nissan or many other brands for that matter......

i subscribe to that one.
GTR is very good at lawn mowing. sometimes it helps with weeding too. but it's really designed for running over moles and gophers.

me too. the 94 supra turbo was my first performance car. loved it, and bullet proof. If it had the hardtop as opposed the the lift off roof i would have kept it for targa racing. Not because it will be a classic someday, but because it did what it did well.

Yes, old age is a frequent cause of dementia, and even more amusingly, selective anesthesia! Where have you been all this time?! And which sports car map are you trying to decipher?

Last time I looked, sports cars were sold off at substantial discounts, some manufacturers got so burned they were bought out, and the GTR's production is still sold-out and used prices aren't budging. Amusing I know..

Regards,
Chris

Actually, aren’t Hondas the ones that are good at cutting your lawn?

I think the GT-R will only be good at controlling weeds underneath it as it sits broken down in your back yard.
