I have seen a lot of threads/videos where a GT-R has been beaten by a modified Mustang or Camaro. You can sum up all of the comments into 5 basic statements:
- You had to run a highly modified "Mustang/Camaro" to beat a stock GT-R. Stock vs stock the GT-R would've killed it.
- It needed 2 extra cylinders and mods to beat the stock GT-R.
- Sure it's fast in a straight line, but wait until it gets to a corner.
- It has a shitty interior.
- It's still a POS Ford.
So now I use the same arguments the GT-R fans use against domestics and apply them to the GT-R/Veyron race and people get so bent out of shape.
You can read pages and pages of comments and you'll have to look very hard to find a GT-R fan that gives credit to a car like a Mustang that beats it. So why do I have to give credit to a GT-R that can almost hang with a Veyron? They didn't accomplish anything special at all - there are a ton of cars that can do that and for half the cost of a GT-R.
A person who mods up a Civic or Mustang and proceeds to beat a Porsche will take satisfaction in winning, but they would never think their car is as good as a Porsche or Ferrari. GT-R fans believe, I mean sincerely believe, that the GT-R is in the same class as a Ferrari or Lamborghini, and with a few bolt-ons even the Veyron.
This is the difference between GT-R fans and "regular" car fans.
Oh, and jackal, I'm still waiting to hear about some cars you've built and what types of engineered solutions you've come up with. Or is all your knowledge "book" based?
Really? Reallllllllyyyy? It's a fucking almighty 1000hp, four turbos that will suck you in, using a full tank of gas in 12 minutes at top speed Veyron. There aren't many sub-$100k cars that can hang with it. And you're on a forum which is dominated by import drivers. Obviously the GTR will be favoured over a Camaro/Mustang/etc etc. Why don't you go to vancouvermustangs if you want to feel the love for domestics?
If this race was a Camaro/Mustang against the Veyron, I'd be just as impressed.
It's not only that it's a GTR racing the Veyron, it's that the race is so apples vs oranges that it makes it impressive.
hah i was expecting this to be in dubai... nice to see that its actually in russia. that veyron looks sick with the windows smoked out.... and the silver skyline looks like its got some kind of nitrious injection... shooting out blue flames lol
