Hmmm ... wonder how long till the STI engine comes down to a reasonable price, and put it into the Liberty smile

Hehe, STI engine transplant is now a GenIV option too. :grin:

You know, I'm just not sure if 340kw is actually enough.
We might find that a bunch of wealthy old me are the only ones rich enough to buy a GTR and end up wrapping them selves around a tree.:blink:

I think seeing the GTR in person is better than pics.  And it now holds top spot at the Nur'ring. 

Not a fan of the new rex/impreza shapes, nothing's changed yet.

yeah man the skyline isn't the quickest there. it goes well but there are others that are better. the GT2 will kill it when its released.
Pegani Zonda does the track in 7:27.82, Carrera GT does 7:28
Koenigsegg CCR did a 7:33

still have no idea what "carwings" is.

they're both awesome cars. not sure if red suits the gtr, but the gun metal in other pics i've seen grey certainly does.

skyline i like, but the front seems a little plain, like its missing something on the outer edges of the front bar. i know it was designed like that though for a purpose.

i agree with everyone else. STI looks like poo. i think they took theyre wheel design from the mazda 6 range. uber conservative.

I beg to differ Mark, i think the Mazda 6 looks better than the WRX.

The front on the WRX looks odd, the Mazda looks alright IMO.

yup, trying to find the article... nevertheless, its up there with the top exotic cars and toe-to-toe against the Porsche is evident enuff of its potential. smile

Current 08 GTR is designed to tackle the 997 TT which is a gentleman's 'practical' supercar.  Im sure the GTR will do a great job for a jappa.  Having said that outright speed isnt the be all end all of 'this' type of vehicle and it has VERY big shoes to fill.

What will be worth waiting for is the 997GT2 vs  GTR V-Spec battle.   No compromise road going race cars!!!

hmmm that GTR is sex.. cant wait for the nurspec, should be nice.. i heard wispering of the GTR smashing records at the 'ring, even heard it was quicker than the zonda.. that may have been chinese whispers though :grin: the STi is not too bad, looks have grown on me a bit, i still get surprised by imprezzas when driving though, takes a while to compute what sort of a car im looking at.. however the Mitsubishi Outlander inspired taillights make me want to be sick.. they are hideous..

You misunderstood me Paul. I was comparing the wheels only to the mazda 6 ones in particular the mps mazda 6. they look very similar and both look crap.

id have to take the rex over the 6 cos at least the rex comes in a hatch and is the closest to a wagon :good:

I'll put my hand up first and state that, that Red weet-bix box look a like with wheels is ugly and without the wheels I'm surprised its gotten so much praise from the people of Ozliberty!
how ever nice pics,

How long were you there for?
