Theres about a 3 second lag in which the car comes alive but climbs up to 7000rpm very quickly. The only cars I could compare it to are a 1997 corvette that Ive driven in my time. My friends car has about 140000km on it which is quite high especially over here. I didnt have an orgasm but it was a blast to drive.
140,000km is exactly 86,996mi, its not that bad.

yeah I dont think 140000 ks is alot either but in Japan, most people think that the car is taboo to own if it has over 100000ks So most peolple sell thier cars at that point.

His car wasnt in the greatest condition, the interior had alot of stains and stuff. the body had been painted, the original emblem that says GTR is missing and It doesnt have the original wheels. The actual selling price was 690000yen (roughly 6900US) but here you have to pay taxes and shaken which usually adds about 2000US to the price. Most R32s here in the best of condition sell for about 12k

yeah I know what you mean. sometimes I want to buy one, but Im not a big fan of nissans. if they didnt have such great turbo engines what would they have? They havent been able to make the great hp numbers like their european counterparts have without a turbo.
