pffft, i say worth it. id give my Z up like a bad habit for that. only 1 prob. no manual tranny option. its a 6spd SMG type shifter. the awsome side, is it apparently toasted teh 911turbo's time on the nurbering and is trying to take down the carrera GT's time now. 3.8 V6 twin turbo, all wheel drive. i guess that makes up for the lack of a true manual transmission. but i have a feeling the true manual tranny is dieing out. also, i dont like the big black cener section. what color would yah get rod?

my choice as well. that means you are just liek me, but now im off for food and school then go-kart racing (indoors at 45moh woot) followed by a weekend in wisconsin. maybe i will get more pics for E of my drunkin abbilities. which ps if you had facebook E you would find MUCH better pics of me to screw with . just sayin.

also rod, japan is able to pre-order the GTR as of a week or two ago. you gonna do the same? and there isnt enough info on a US time based release. its bogus. peace

From what I've heard...a six speed tranny was made however it's having trouble passing smog but it'll be available in a few months.

Me and my lack of ablity to actually write an English sentence that makes sense.. if already re-built multiple dirtbikes (not teh same i know) and a 90's ninja ZX600. i know my way around a bike, both riding and maintanence, and also love listening and reading so i do research quite often. been about 4-6 months since i did some crotch rocket research but i have a feeling nothing has changed to drastically since then. and then this also takes place with the aerodynamics i speak of, they arent shaped poorly, its teh weight. the inertial mass into the relative wind is much more detrimental to lighter objects, its a reverse power to weight ratio, its power to drag now. and im deleting all my previous posts to this that dont have anthing to do with the GTR because I realized my arguements don't make any sense whatsoever, and I am making my self look like even more of a fool than I did before.
Fixed for ya.
