Noz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Saying a car is better than another is slating it isn't it? Saying it has better performance or handling is different to saying its better, again its comparing two completely different cars. Too much of a general comment. If I walked up to someone and said my car was better, they'd take offence I reckon, my opinion or not, if I said my car `its a fact my car is better than yours` they would want to hurt me Doesn't bother me either way. I think the GTR is awesome and can admit I'm jealous and when I'm a big boy I would love to own one but for now the old girl is my dream come true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesard Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ibrar, I am glad you are not selling now, so that when my car loan comes through, it will still be available for me to buy. You wouldn't say no to £30,000 in cash, would ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Gtr is just the next step on the ladder. For me anyway, if I could afford one I'd buy one, but at 24 I'd struggle lol! Amazing cars, supra's are my favourite affordable car ever mind, but if I had the cash, no competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 But, the GT-R is a better car - that's fact. However, the subjective bit is down to enjoyment, thrill factor and personal taste. I'm not bashing the Supra, I owned one for 4 years. A great car, with an even better engine. But it's 1990's technology. In 20 years, the GT-R will look how the Supra does now, it's natural evolution. But, those who slate the GT-R without ever driving one, why? We could all be in electric powered cars by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Why has ibrars thread (about him making a mistake )turned into another GTR rant? Id go over to the GTR forum if I wanted this My opinion keep your supra. It's the best looking thing since womens breasts IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wonder if the AWD system of the GTR could be fitted to the supra for less than £1m, dam that would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 This thread has got a bit out of hand! Those who own and enjoy the GTR good on you, I have driven several and thought about buying one thanks to some money I have burning a hole in my pocket but it doesn't do it for me, fast, yes, very, fun, not in my opinion, bit that's the point, its an opinion. I love my Supra, it makes me smile which is what i want from my toy. I am thinking 997 next personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 There's the 'better' car based on scientific figures and there is a 'best car for me' that is based on a myriad of factors. The GTR is a better car based on the scientific figures for sure and for many will be higher in the best car for me category. It can't be the best car for me personally as having a great car but being insolvent is not workable! To that end the GTR to me is an irrelevance other than it being another rare'ish car to add to the list of 'nice to spot' when out driving. There is always a value for money aspect, if we had a Zonda defection then there would be similar jealously claims from up the pecking order to 'pah wouldn't buy one if I had the money' from down the pecking order. For me the common ground is the niche/out of the ordinary nature, these cars all have that. Most on here would say that the supra was the better car over a 300zx, RX-7 and 3000gt, perhaps it was in many of the scientific ways, but there are dedicated owners of all of these marques that won't have ever owned or even considered owning a 'better' car in the Supra. I doubt any of these clubs would have taken too kindly to the constant inference that if only you could see sense and if only you had the money you could be in a much better car. It's always difficult with these situations and it's why IMO there are Mkiv Supra forums separate to Mkiii etc even the NA TT thing on here can get out of hand and this GTR vs (TT) Supra is an extension of this.......no one believes you can be happy with a NA supra, you must just be poor right?

Matt H Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 We could all be in electric powered cars by then I think civilisation will be f"cked by then as the fuel crisis bites us. Of course, if they sort out Fusion power you'll be right and I'll be wrong, but that's a big if. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
