First GTR in SIN

Re: First GTR in SIN

actually, either then the performance specs of the car, what so special abt the looks? i mean no offence it looks alot like a 350z just more squarish. Am impressed by the specs, no doubt abt it. But looks?

Still, don't think its really that special, but thats just me.

+1. I tend to agree.

If this car is a 1.8-litre Korean marque, I am not so sure if the compliments will flow. It is recognised mostly for its technical specs, but look-wise, it is slightly dated.

Re: First GTR in SIN

if u ask me , the look is special. It's muscular, it's sporty, it's fierce
no Japanese car has got this look at present stage. So hv to give em credit really..

+1. This is a JDM supercar, so let's not look at it from the point of view of a Ferrari, etc.

What do you guys think of the final product versus the prototype? The front of the proto is quite different...

Re: First GTR in SIN

Re: First GTR in SIN

I did drove the car for 10 mins after having some drink.. ..it is a beast. pickup is fast and smooth, and I did not even feel it reaching 120km along bishan road (RJC)..did not rev much as it was only 500+km..Some of the controls were in Japanese..Main display was showing some G force thing.. good drive and definitely faster than mine..:furious:..I am not good at writing reviews though..

That's damn dangerous

Understatement of the century...

Re: First GTR in SIN

I guess as an engineer, I appreciate that the weird crease in the C pillar is to improve the aerodynamics of the car, which seems to have great cd overall while introducing minimal lift. So for me function wins over form. Badge too

Re: First GTR in SIN

timechaser - This must be hell for you. Watching everybody else get their GT-Rs and enjoying the brmm brmm while waiting for your to arrive. It must be like going to an orgy without a partner.

When is yours due? (The car I mean, not your orgy partner).

The orgy partner is coming back on Saturday...

oops! sorry - didnt realise you were talking about the car

Due end June... and yes, it is hell as I have put the 330 up for sale and am toodling around in crappy vios!

Re: First GTR in SIN

June! That's another 4 months to go!

You must have more will power than a monk on viagra.

All I can say is - try not to sell the 330i too early. Otherwise, with the Vios as the only outlet for your motoring passion, you may succumb to temptation and sin.

That was exactly my waiting time. All i did was smoked beedi and coffee. It helped but at the expense of my health. Now the turboes are healing me.

Wah! My will power not so good... especially regarding cars, otherwise wouldve waited a bit longer before selling the 330. However, taking the Vios as a crash course in meditation and how to drive calmly... will teach me to enjoy slow speed too! That way possibly I will survive the GTR a bit longer.

LOL didnt know you could get beedis here - which one? 555? Cannot do anything of the sort - highly sensitive to caffeine. Other outlets for frustration available though Maybe use some...

But yes - it is a long waiting time, though the PI is known to overestimate the time by a fair margin. One of my colleagues was told that he would get his by April end - but he will likely have his hands on it by March mid... same yardstick would imply mine by May mid... which is a bit more tolerable... LONG nevertheless!!!

Sigh - at least I know (hopefully) the car's worth the wait.

Re: First GTR in SIN

in the meantime you can drive the GTR in a Playstation 3 .... it is quite representative of the cars, I have driven other cars like the Lotus 111R and the Honda CTR and Swift Sport it is exactly like the real thing minus the G forces.

Re: First GTR in SIN

Bizarrely - I can drive a car as roughly as I want on the road but I will be fine (of course if I dont hit anything), but any game going beyond Super Mario Bros causes nausea...

Think will wait for the real deal...

Re: First GTR in SIN

1) Play in HD.
2) Use a bigger screen
3) Use a steering wheel and pedals.

Driving games are different from first person shooters and Super Mario ...

Re: First GTR in SIN

Lol - lets see - Last I played Colin McRae Rally was on a friend's borrowed XBOX 360 connected via the HDMI cable to my Pioneer 50", using a steering wheel.

The trouble is not the graphics, the quality or size etc. the trouble is the static frame of reference in terms of the TV border and the surroundings which accentuates the motion. I almost threw up inside a flight simulator once... so will steer clear.

Good thing is couple of friends are getting their hands on the GTR by the end of the month so Taxi Ride season coming up! One of them will let me drive it too I know

Patience is the name of the game... too much happening in life right now anyways to worry about the wait!
