this too. This is where u do like Charlie did and buy a daily for that sorta stuff. U didn't buy a racecar to turn it into a defeated old nag 0.o

A stock GTR isn't a race car.

if you look at the history of the GTR (R32) you know it's a street legal race car, also what does the RB mean in RB26DETT?

with a GTR i can race on Sunday then drive to work on Monday.

I suppose it depends on how you define "race car".

the thing is, i enjoy a fast, practical, and affordable daily.

the GTR does it all for me. And with roof racks, they'll be even better. Those you can mount when you need it and take it off when you don't.

Its still a car to me..

ive always defined it as a car that couldn't be driven on roads

id class a gtr thats able to be driven on the streets as a performance car

[xALmoN]

+1 to performance car actually.

race car = one with full cage, no interior or dash surrounds, fuel setup in boot, track specific tyres and suspension etc

Agreed.

GTR = Sports car.

Its not s super car, its not a race car, its not a touring car.

oh, you said touring not two ring? Touring cars are generally 'family' cars, as opposed to 'performance' cars. There isn't much distinction though.

Onto the topic, I love having a GTR as a daily. Still hasn't fully sunken in that I finally own one, I forget to feel superior when I go past 'plain old' GTS-Ts >_>

It isn't really any less/more practical than any sports/touring car, anything with *go* is going to be impractical for some things.

But dude... GTR...

saw lots of people using suction cup mount roof racks in europe while i was there for their skis/snowbaords

[UNR33L]

When they came out weren't they classified as a "Japanese supercar"? By this day and age / standards I agree though its a sports car but still a very quick one at that.

Sedans/wagons as opposed to coupes, convertibles, 4x4s etc.

Honestly a real racecar wouldn't be street legal. but i guess when you compromise between sports & comfort.

[pistol-pete]

theres also a white r33 gtr running round adelaide with a tow bar
