I guess you would have purchased a GTR if you thought the opposite was true.


Is this the car you raced? http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=38459

Sorry but my "63" is actually a E55. I think the GTR is a great addition to any flock!!

Thanks Jason, the platform seems to be a magnet for guys pushing the limit. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.

Hey Jim, I did not realize Cobb was next to you. I would guess that 70% of GTR owners have an Accessport.


Good riddance...... the board was getting a little too busy.

It's a funny story. I was basically Subaru and GTR clueless and was calling them looking for dyno time year or more ago. They were super cool but kept telling me hands down that "noone drives cars on the dyno but the operator"

I kept replying, " If it's gonna blow, it's gonna be with my foot on the floor, not watching from a grandstand seat!"

At one point, they were like, "Do you know who we are?". I really didn't have a clue how well known they were.

The dyno was super nice (never booked time) and I have since apologized for not understanding the power of Cobb. They were super cool about it and wanna check out the beast in depth someday.

Please post more pics of the 55 you are in the e55 forum

06E55

How did you hear about that? I was trying to keep it a secret! Good thing the bridge was only 4' !!!!

In a serious note, how is the GTR for a daily driver?

I think I have some in the "E55 picture thread" plus I am too lazy to copy and paste.

A near death experience will make anyone more serious. Glad to see you survived.

As for the GTR and daily driving, I think it fails miserably in that department. It makes way too many mechanical noises and for some reason I never really feel relaxed (like I do in the RS4 or E55) when driving the car. Maybe I don't feel relaxed because if I'm not shifting the dual clutch up and down I'm playing with all the gadgets inside the car. The thing also attracts constant attention from every walk of life (probably because there are so few in my area). I would not feel comfortable leaving it parked at work. An awesome car to drive for fun but I can think of countless cars better suited for DD.
