Damn thats a nice M3, but arent the CSL's $250,000 !?

Ill have a 34gtr N1 and 100k deposit on a house thanks ;)

People don't buy $220,000 cars if they have to worry about a $100k deposit on a house :(

WHAT????

Any TVR = Roy in corner :whackit:

The only cars that come close to TVR Sagaris are TVR Speed 12 or Cerbera Speed 12:)

You have to love the Mines R34, or tweaked to the hill GTRs, and sure they are fast, incredibly fast, but at the end of the day they are a Nissan Skyline.

In my eyes whilst a great car they lose out on cool factor. And if your gunna spend that sort of money cool is good:) And to me Lotus and TVR are cool:) To others BMWs cut the cake:)

Take a tweaked to the hill GTR, say R34...and grab a tweaked to the hill 996 TT Porsche. Be an interesting comparo. Id have to put my money on the Porsche, youd think 3.6L tractability woudl win out?

i'd still like a Maclaren F1 thank you very much. or an F40, F50 or murcielago.

M3 CSL is nice, I just like something a little more emotive and extravagant in my supercars.

Where are those lap times from.  Interesting read. Mus tbe a nice tight track for the Lotus Exige to do so well?!?!?!?!

You can keep all your fancy BMWs etc etc, ill take a TVR Sagaris thanks:)

Ahhh, sorry... They're laptimes of the Top Gear test track... It's not overly tight, nor overly open... It's a pretty well balanced track actually.

Open sweepers, tight 90 degree turns, decent straights, etc.... I'm sure you've seen one or two episodes :(

Ah, think i have, with 'Stick' driving the Carrera GT. Shame to see the Enzo is quicker then the Porshe...i so love the Carrera GT, if only it was RHD and i won a stupid some of money i think i would quite like to add one of them to my garage, that and a 550LM etc etc:)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
