My 350...and the GT-R I had for a weekend - Honda Prelude Forum

y_b_lamron · 11-07-2008, 02:22 PM

I've been away for a long time here so I am not sure how much discussion there has been revolving around the GT-R. I did get to drive one for a weekend and I have to say that the thing hauls serious ass.

So much that I was a little sad getting back into my Z at the end of the weekend

I thought the car would feel heavy but it didn't at all. The response time was incredible off the line and before I knew it I looked down and was over 100. You would have no idea your going that fast unless you look down at the speedometer.

It does come with a lot of clunkiness and if someone didn't know much about cars they would probably be concerned there was something wrong with it. The shifting was pretty smooth for the most part and no, I didn't turn off the launch control since Nissan is looking at the black boxes closely in order to refuse warranty work if something goes wrong

I also have to say it got much attention, so my friend Beka says. I was paying more attention to the road and cars around me since I was in a 100k+ dollar car that wasn't mine

This just makes me more hungry to drive other cars that I will never be able to afford

and here is mah Z...she has 124,500 miles on her now

Damn looks who's a playa!

I love how the GT-R sounds and have they sold any of them in a different color yet?

I haven't seen any personally but there is a white one around here. I also know someone who has a red.

I was shocked at how quiet it sounded!

It's the Veilside lip. I don't have too many close ups because I need to touch it up from all the rock chips.

You look better than both of those cars

No need to say all that!

lude4lifeh22 · 11-11-2008, 10:07 PM

Ahh, I like the lip painted like. Are your headlights already getting hazy though?

EDIT: A black housing (available?) would be sick with that lip and such!

thepreludedude · 11-11-2008, 10:36 PM

I agree the Z looks much better. That GT-R is huge! I saw one in red and I thought it was pretty ugly. Still would like to drive one though.

My headlights have been getting hazy for a long time. Don't forget I've had this car for 6 years and she's got over 124k miles on her!

I have been thinking about doing something to the head lights and tail lights but I haven't decided yet.

Thanks for the compliments on my old bish!

Yes, the GT-R is huge, that's why it's called Godzilla!
