GTR will no doubt have a big aftermarket support just like the Supra.

What a car!!!!

Still think it's pretty cool though that some 2003 cars like Chiromikeys can run near 11flat on a system designed back in 2001-2002.

True testimony on how awesome these cars really were engineered. (Sans that intercooler pump nightmare)

Our cars need patience....hard-work...innovation and determination...to go faster. Modifying an MB is a character building exercise, that helps the owner grow stronger...just as his/her car grows stronger in presence and performance. Would you rather mods be handed to us on a silver platter....with no effort being exerted????? I for one.... would....absolutely rather have the no effort thing!!!
