I'll see your 911 Turbo and raise you with a GT3-RS.
But that is def. a badass T/A. IMO, a good street car would be something like a modded 03-04 Cobra, Corvette, Evo/STi, etc.
Vehicles already in the upper echelon that pull something better than a 13.9 off the showroom floor, and can hit low 12's high 11's with minimal work.

Wow, you really are a fucking know-it-all. I would venture to say that you are more of a know-it-all than 2wheeler.Considering I find 2wheeler to be a fairly intelligent individual, thank you. I would love to sit here and one up you, but in the end, I represent a business on this forum and even if I could make you look like a complete moron, what did I win?

HA that is not a "livable drag car", he drives that thing pretty much every day. You see, for the 75% of people that live in this country, you can drive these things all winter. I drove my Buick around in the snow on the drag radials quite a few times. Otherwise i would change tires, and yes i did drive it for a whole winter when it was my only car. Also i drove my GTO in the snow alot, about 3 months when i felt like it. This isnt "its your only car for life" obviously if your gonna put that kind of time and money into something your not gonna drive it behind a salt truck. christ i thought that would be obviousI apologize, I haven't drived a high horsepower rwd car in the winter. I thought awd w/snows was the best of the best, but apparently a '<u>perfect</u> street car' lies in a rwd platform........:icon_scratch: I didn't say you couldn't drive the car, but in my opinion, if you had THAT car you posted and drove it in the winter, I think it would struggle (hence the "I'd love to see that thing in winter"). Sure it would get places, but not safely....that's all I was saying. I wasn't trying to attack your thread making skillz or your manhood status on the internet.
Please continue with your thread kind sir, and I apologize for going off topic to address something I should have laughed off.

You will not be able to hit the button on a new model. Starting in 2010, the GTR will not come with launch control. GTR without the launch control is much slower.I wonder how long the tranny will last with out launch control....
According to the GT-R tech at our local Nissan, the transmission lasted an average 8 launches in R-mode. Some may last longer, some won't.
But about the 2010 GTR, they will release a V-Spec trim. Less weight, less strain on the transmission.
I always get a kick out of people dogging on a car in it's first year of public use. This happens often (although not to the precision manufacturers like Porsche) but it just goes to show that there are always kinks being worked out.
Remember the roof skins delaminating on the Z06 when it first came out? People are so quick to forget things like that.
