Awkward!

 

looks higher that the versa coming down the road... but damn... what a picture

 

Thus, one of the many reasons why the GTR is a complete failure.

 

lol discussing this on the Car Club at VT forum

amen brother

 

why does it look so big.. is it just sitting higher than the other nsx's?

 

Slightly...but it's still a huge car none-the-less. If you've ever seen one up close in person then you would agree.

 

well...the NSX was made a long time ago when there were less regulations in car safety standards compared to today and part of the formula to make the car successful was lightness and simplicity.

whereas the gt-r as pretty much always been a heavyweight car with excessive power and sophisticated drivetrain. the r35 gt-r is huge compared to the NSX, but it doesn't look much bigger than its predecessors.



all cars are bigger than the previous generation nearly, corollas are bigger than the camry's of yesteryear, heck, check out the difference between a 2005 legacy, and a 2010 legacy, what a difference in 5 years!

 

This guy makes an excellent point.

 

wow...awkward...

i love nsx's tho

 

yeah, and that is an r35 gt-r next to an r33 gt-r, so that is a difference of 2 generations!

 

Still doesn't negate the fact that it's a failure.

 

Please explain how its a failure? Not many cars can touch it $ to $. And yes they are HUGE. I was right behind one a few months ago and I was shocked at how big/wide it truly is.

 

 

That's cause Americans are getting fatter and lazier and need more room haha.

Americans:"We want a bigger, safer, and more comfortable car."
Govt: "YEA! And we want cars to go down in energy consumption and emissions while still meeting the desires of consumers. And more airbags and electronic safety device gizmos."
Car maker:"Unpossible"
Govt: "Fine then we will just tax you all for not meeting our demands"

But yea new Legacy <<<<<<<<<< old LGTs

 

thats awesome

 

yeah, that is true in a lot of cases, but look at me, i'm 6'3, 220 pounds and i am pretty lean, but lots of cars are a tight fit for me.
