Yeah. Would give a left nut for an Alpha 16.

[Bigglezworth]

Great piece of engineering for sure.

0-60 in less than 2 seconds....0-130 in less than 5!! I don't think I could handle one honestly....

Yeah, I could not even imagine what acceleration like that must feel like.

While I certainly appreciate how fast they are...and the potential to be WAYYY faster, I had the opportunity to drive on older one (2009) a few years ago. What a letdown. Drove and shifted like a turd, noisy, clunky. Big disappointment, which was good, because the urge to buy one went away immediately...

R35's never did anything for me. R32, R33, R34 GT-R's on the other hand, I think are fantastic, but for the prices people are asking to get one here in 'Merica, I feel much happier knowing you can own an RS6 for less. My friend paid $26k for an '89 R32. I paid $24k for a 2003 RS6... do the math. If I ever move to Japan, though, I'm getting a white R32 GT-R and boosting it over 600whp.

[DHall1]

Not to worry. I just made some calls to pick it up and ran around town.

I would say as advertised and fun to drive. Just not for me.

Wish it was easy to get our RS6s to those things power levels. Been in several 1200hp versions and they are just painfully quick.

One thing our RS6s have over them is they are a lot more exclusive. While I dont see a whole lot of GTRs I do see them. Still have yet to see an RS6 on the road.

Still have yet to see an RS6 on the road.

Including your own...

Sorry, Bill. Couldn't resist :) At least you've got good news from AoA regarding your beast.


On-topic - Katie's Cars and Coffee is a weekly meetup at (imagine this) Katie's Coffee Stand in Great Falls, VA. About 2 months after I got my beast, I managed to get FOUR (4) RS6's to the meetup, and we snagged some of the best / most central spots in the show and shine area. Not bad, managing to have 1 of every 200 or so RS6's brought to the US show up!

A couple months earlier, there was a Gojira club takeover. Imagine a parking lot, one driving lane in the middle, 40-ish spots lining either side. Now imagine every single one of those spots with a GTR in it, and more overflowing to the side lots. They started arriving ~315am and didn't stop until the meet was pretty well over (10am or so). It was a thing to behold.

I know such a meet would be a lot to ask of the RS6 owners out there, but I bet the Denver and/or Portland areas could manage something of that scale - we just don't have the density of ownership around here.

I don't know what my point is here. Just reliving some good times, and being more-or-less on-topic...ish? And busting LaserSVT's balls, gotta do that to the newbs. Bill, 151 posts already and you just joined this month. Good god man, you are addicted! :)

Sweet looking Sentra/Altima R...

I like me some godzilla. Chacun a son gout.

[Turbowned]

Or as the blokes on "Top Gear" would say, "It's a Datsun!"

We should try to get a whole bunch of RS6's together at the next big east coast Euro meet... other than H2O...

[DHall1]

Lol

I raced the GTR today.

Results?

[LaserSVT]

And the result was?

[SteveKen]

Was it this one?

I tell ya, Texas folk are touched in the head. If you dont have at least 1500hp you are just a spectator.

Pretty sure it's a new record for this forum. lol

If you have a personal issue with me you are more than welcome to take it to PM so as to not increase my post count. Not exactly sure what your problem is. I mean I know I am hansom and get all the bishes but dont hate the player, hate the game.

[Turbowned]

He's excited, man! What's wrong with that? I racked up nearly 5,000 posts on the Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S forum in 3 years' time... Granted there's a sh*t-ton of aftermarket support for that platform; more than I've ever seen for any other car short of a Civic or Corvette. Not too many new ideas going around this forum, and when they are they usually get squashed by the purists. Nothing wrong with that, just moves at a slower pace. Keep the old girls running, and don't f**k 'em up with your dumb ideas! lol

I got no issue (coming from the guy that lurked for 4 years before purchasing one, kept it for 3 years, and let it go to someone else).

Post count is for Audizine...

It's official, e-peen measuring challenge gauntlet has been brought out. 6627 is the current winrar. As a lowly sub-1000, I cower in fear



So - back on topic - US Release GT-R - Sentra in a tuxedo or just a washed-down version of J-style R32+? Wish we could add a poll to an existing thread!

Paging Erik, Erik to the white courtesy phone please.

[mofoRS4]

So many fast cars to chose from anymore. Hell I see teenagers driving 600whp STi's and evo's that that bought cheap/reconstructed all the time.

[Aronis]

how long do those 600 WHP STI engines last???? I have a friend who has his Launch Edition up to 390 or so WHP on his with intake, exhaust, fuel lines, pump and a tune. LOL The car is totally sick with 400 hp, can't imagine a car that size with 600!
