> pat what i meant by useless is the only thing i could truthfuly us it on is drag racing and picking up chicss now that to me seems a lil boring. lol Skyline is a supercar not a 300 its not even a wild car lol, BUT none of that matters when its the gentelmens favourite car ill im sAYiNg is Go ahead add a couple of twins ur dad will enjoy after e gets bored with driving in a strait linne especcialy an x rally enthusiat o ya if the 300 has cupholders thats another use for it lol just stating my opinion speed wise who cares that is stock faster the s13 s14 both oof those cars can be maade to go much faster then  
> a 300 because a 300 with 350hp and s13/14 with 350 hp same torque or any equal power will get raped due to a simple power to weight ratiodid i mention 300 not a supercar ok yes i did good and pat believe me im not seating here like ismo hating tottaly love your car and your a great guy but i just stated the facts lol

Wow, shows you don’t know what you’re talking about.  
Sure if you put a 1000 hp in any car it will be faster than a 350hp car, just like, If you put 350 horsepower in a car that’s 500lbs lighter than the car that already has 350hp, then it will be faster.  
It’s simple physics man. What are you trying to convince me of because that’s a crappy way to try and convince.

And about it NOT being a supercar? I didn’t say it was, please reread my post. I’m saying that shitloads of magazines and websites refer to it as being a supercar. It’s won many awards as one of the best cars ever made, and also been stated as a pre-supercar by one in particular (I forgot). In fact, it’s had more reference to being a supercar than the Skyline ever has. I’ve never heard the Skyline being referred to as a supercar until the R35 was released. Even then, it wasn’t the Skyline that was a supercar, but the GTR that is.

– BTW, the 300 can handle a shitload better than your 240 there bud. NA or TT in STOCK FORM. The curvy track drivers chose the NA car to drive with because it had less body weight than the TT, and the steering rack was more responsive to input. Yes it did have a different rack an pinion to make up for the lack of HICAS like in the TT version.

And no. REAL SUPERCARS don’t have cup holders so I don’t see why the 300 would have one either. The driver dynamics of the car is built to aid in driving. The first TT 300s were offered from the factory with a MANDATORY driver training package to purchase the car. All major controls such as Heating was placed on the side of the gauge cluster, so the driver wouldn’t have to take his eyes off the road to adjust the temperature. _Most_ were all digital. One button and it picks the rest for you so the driver doesn’t have to think while he’s whipping the car hard around a corner without losing traction.
