I never liked the r32, they look so dated.
*Gets coat*
I'm with you mate, not a fan, they do look well dated, pass me my coat as well please hehe
And come on now, "they still beat most supercars" is a bit a massive generalistion isn't it? I assume you're only talkin tuned ones as well of course?
I remember when I was in hospital, someone bought me a MaxPower (the shame, I hid it when anyone came to visit - but obviously still thanks the purchaser as that would just be rude not to - and I'm 99% it was MaxPower not FastCar etc) and mainly due to extreme, suicidal bordem I read it from cover to cover. It had a massive artical about Skylines and had some top specialists talking (they had a pair of yellow ones making 1000+bhp or something mental?) an they said everyones mate's brother has a '450bhp Skyline' - but in reality it's harder to get there than people make out. No idea how true all that is of course, but it suggested to me that there was a lot of power figure pub talk about them for some reason. Anyhoo, they went on to say how the only real way to dyno was engine out etc (The MaxPower one was done that way iirc and got just over 400bhp with a lot of money in it - was an R33 I think).
But then of course, 'only' having 400bhp isn't exactly anything to be ashamed of! I'm probably right in saying, even including the tuning costs, it's faster than anything else you can get for the coins - aside from maybe a Supra which might have it in a straight line?
I'm just waffling now, maybe I should go to bed...
Waitey - good luck with the search mate
Have you sold the MX5 already? R32 isn't going to have the same, light, nimble feeling as the MX - but then, big power ftw!
