big difference in price, construction and weight too :)

GTR = everyday supercar,

4WD makes a big difference
why do you think it is banned in many race formulas or gets penalties....?
 
GT-R is too easy to drive in Prologue to really like it.And no H-gate shifting!Fast but boering.F40,not so easy:),but very rewarding,REAL old time super-car.
 
Well, to my knowledge, the F40 is a race/track designed car. Very low weight and very specificly made.
The R35 is a road going car that is weighed down with all the usual gizmos that come with newer cars, and wasn't built primarily for track racing.

Like I say, I'm certainly no expert. It's just my perception.


but you have to remember that the f40 is a much much older car, and a lot has happend on the car front, i dont think the f40 can touch the new gtr`s time round the old nurburgring

i agree, a real handfull, and much moore satisfying to drive (but maybe not as fast) fast and easy is boring, tried the f1 2007 and sold it cause it was so boring to drive (fast but to easy)

Yea, your probably right actually.
 
I'm sorry, but that can't be right. Am I on the same page here? We're talking about the new Nissan Skyline GTR R35 right?

There is absolutely no way that car is faster than a Ford GT or F40, I've seen a video report which compares a BMW M3, Porsche GT (can't remember which ... they're all the same!) and an R35. The R35 was marginally faster than the Porsche and about 4 seconds faster than the beemer. You can't seriously tell me that the Ford GT and F40 are in the same speed range as those three? Sure it may be harder to drive, but it just means you have to be a better driver to get the most out of it.

I was in a online race lastnite in my GTR on a straight, and the Ford GT absolutely kaned me, theres no way (unless maybe your blind) that the GTR could beat the Ford GT if you were both good drivers.
That being said the GTR is definitely up there with the fastest cars in the game, it truely is a fine piece of work :D
 
I think an NSX Type-R would manage to keep up with the GTR.

Maybe, I personally havent driven this car, Im guessing its far quicker than the Acura NSX because that car is up to nil. But the GTR has massive acceleration out of corners, which always separates it from RWD vehicles

How much do they give you when you sell the F2007, I haven't sold any of my cars because all the offers are ridiculous. You get 20% of the original price back if you're lucky.
