funny thing is if we go to japan exactly the opposite is true..
if your "fucking" firebird came from the factory with twin turbos and AWD who knows how fast it would be.. simple fact is in 1992, it didnt. In 1992 neither GM nor Ford was building cars that matched the R32 ..its pretty plain to see by the fact that they had to change the rules to outlaw it from a production series race. BTW all the cars in the race had to have a minimum of 400 showroom cars made. The GTR debuted in 1989 actually, what AWD TT firebird ?.. or fast american cars period were around then ? .. in 1991 they added 300lbs and limited the boost on the car to stop it winning so many races, it STILL won. 1993 it was outlawd and the rules changed to only allow V8's.
you just cant accept anything else than your mullet mobile.. i've seen American cars.. Holdens.. Aussie fords (both of which FAR out perform anything GM or Ford sells here, and dont cry GTO, GM wouldnt bring the GTS or the GTS-V).. and i've seen japanese cars.. each of them have some pretty awesome cars.. but the one car that sticks out from the early 90's is the GTR. .. hell even the WRX was voted car of the decade in 1995 .. back when it was a fast car that V8's feared.. not the bloated slow thing it is now...
your just ignorant.. you cant appreciate a car for what it is.. the skyline isnt the godly car that some of the other sack swingers on here think it is.. but in its time.. in its place.. nothing produced here would have toppled it.. took a decade before anything that could slay the mighty Godzilla came out of here..
