1/4 mile in 11.2 at 126 mph is slow?

what do you call fast then for a stock car?


a gtr's performance is essentially identical to the above.


give up buddy. youre making everyone seem smart.

Dude, the point was about mods not Stock, wasnt it?

Why would you now get personal?

I dont think you have any idea what you're talking about and mind you you neither have the streets to drive cars outside a race or quartermile event to limits for more than a moment, and well I have my doubts you ever drove a car near or over 300kph, but Yea burn your money on mods, that if you're not an Internet troll only with nor car lol

get personal? well its true, sorry.
youre the one writing the "hit me over the head" symbol..

and telling people what their first choice in vehicles should be?

telling someone who owns a gt3, how fast it is? dont you think i know how fast a gt3 is?

then making assumptions about how fast i drive or how well i can drive? when you have no way of knowing either?

whats the point of any of that? tell me.


again, please stop, youre making absolutely no sense.

What I said is, if you already have over 700hp and over 1000nm, you already are on a level where you can hardly ever drive this, and that even here in Germany, where you may drive as fast as you can.

I didnt tell anyone what their first choice should be, only that a family Sean would never become a sportscar, even if it's faster on straights, like a 700hp Cls would be compared to a gt3.

So why not just enjoy cars for what they are, instead of trying to shape each one into a little of everything.

It's no secret, the top cars for quartermiles are gtr and Porsche turbo modded

Neither it's one a gtr is a very affordable car that has little tech issues.

Nor that Porsche turbo is probably the only super fast car, that can be driven as a daily driver with no loss of comfort

And yes exotics like Ferrari, lambo etc they are very fun to drive, but again a 700hp Cls surpasses a 458 on the Autobahn nevertheless the sensation in experience a Ferrari for example gives back is thousand folder in comparison. So why add sound to a family Sean when it will never become a Ferrari.

Of course do whatever pleases you

if you like sensation and sound get a 458 but it will be slow - if you want speed and sound and tuning the GT-R is your number 1 choice... if you want that a little less sensation but more prestige the porsche turbo would be your choice. those are in my opinion the most affordable cars for the experience mentioned... of course there are more expensive options lol

I have a group of friends here and there is no car you can think of which is not among the group, up to even koenigsegg and bugatti...you cannot make a family sedan into a sports car from the driving experience, neither vice versa, the sports car will never be comfy...porsche bridges this the best we know... and no offense but where in alberta can you drive 300 kph plus?
the above post is where you told me what my first choice of vehicle should be... not to mention telling me what two other vehicles i should get...

some advice .. dont tell people what vehicles they should buy. or what choice they should make. you dont have any right to do that.

and i never said i wanted to make a sedan into a sports car. why are you insinuating that? making a sedan faster, is is all im doing.

It all depends what you want.... I like big luxo cars but i also like performance, hence I get big Merc/Audi/Jaguar sedans and make them that bit quicker, that's the car I want. I'm not a fan of 2 door sports cars, too small and impractical for my likes......

I'm lucky living in the Australian countryside. Although the legal limit is 100 or 110 km/h there is little enforcement on local roads so I commonly drive a lot faster. I've recently been getting quarter mile times up the road with a Performance Box.

Bringing this somewhat back on topic... Does anyone have some downpipes they want to sell? True back or not?
