Topdog said “Theres no winners or losers there all good cars just comes down to how much cash you got to spend”

Yeh so you spend twice as much on a Porsche to find a half price Nissan in front of you.

This Nissans unstoppable and if you like this kinda performance its great. Not for me though i’d take the slower Cayman.

Hayzel – why? Surely the best car is just the best car, not which car makes the most efficient use of each cubic inch of capacity… the best car is the best car, thats it, and the best car in terms of the nurburing is whatest is presently the fastest!

Topdog – your basically just re-iterating my own point mate, I only said that to point out to Schah7 that its pointless to say things like such and such a car needs this or that to keep up with this other car, when your talking about which production car is quicker round the ring a car is either fastest or its not, its not fastest because it has this or second fastest because it doesnt have that, its either fastest or its not, end of story

The winner would always be the car with the smaller engines with output larger than bigger engines while keeping the price lower.

Theres no winners or losers there all good cars just comes down to how much cash you got to spend and what you wont or like, Richo anything can be turned around to make anyone car sound good or bad i mean you say the gtr needs turbo and awd to keep up with the corvette true, But dosent the corvette have a blower also on a engine twice the size and over 400 kg lighter when you look at that way its a miracle the gtr can even see wich way the corrvette went but no its right there on its tail,Which means there is a lot of clever enginering going on in that car,The point is thay all go about there buisnes in diferent ways and in the end there all there withen a few tenths of each other

Kia
Gee Aussiecars what sorta loser are you or should I say the Corvette ZR1
Takes an engine Twice the Size & 400kg lighter just to be competitive with the Nissan.
The Corvette is a P.O.S !
