Ok it is that bad. What kind of bling bling crap did they put in so they would have to take out all the performance stuff?
might be long to explain, but anyways...
suspension: the original BlackBird had a trick and fairly pricey custom suspension setup from a German company. (read, about 5k US) that was ditched, because it wasn't a sponsor. they replaced it with an awful setup even i wouldn't put on my car!
interior: they had these lightweight kevlar seats, that were again ditched in favor of heavy seats to please the sponsors... that's not including the stereo system and in car entertainment...
engine: ok, so not much has changed over there... 550hp or so, with over 150 hp worth of nitrous. problem is, GT-Rs tend to respond pretty badly to Nitrous, actually...
and the rest: dump the 18'' wheels, add some heavy 19 inchers on some crappy and heavy tires, paint the whole thing blue, add some disgustingly ugly stickers, etc... again all because the of them sponsors.
all in all, they wanted an eye pleasing ride (not exactly what happened) instead of the high performance car it was...
