What the heck is that hanging off the front of your car? Did you run into batman? I'm all for front splitters, but that thing is just ridiculous.

Wow, I find it interesting how we make a mountain out of a molehill. There has always been and always will be drivers in cars that will do things that others consider stupid. What if if had been a Volvo that did exactly what the GTR's did, would you have given it second thought? What if it had been another C7, see it can go on and on.

As for passing a line caravan of corvettes, don't we pass lines of trucks and other cars every day? Some people don't like getting caught behind caravans and pass them..that's just how it is. So, the speed limit is 65, guess what, there is always someone that will pass those that are driving the legal 65 speed limit.

There are quite a few GTRs, Ferraris, Lambos, C7s and many other high end cars around here, and I have to admit that I haven't encountered anyone in either of the brands that would make me call anyone names just because they drove that brand. What I did see is two Porsche mechanics out on the interstate playing cat and mouse with either their cars or "someone else s". Still doesn't give me a reason to not like Porsche drivers. I could be one of those guys that just don't get caught up in the small things that happen daily.

Lots of great cars on the roads and lots of great people driving them and lots of idiots also.

Inferiority Complex !

Comical.

I get more vette people acting like ******, and pulling stuff like this than any other car. My daily driver is a mustang and I get vette people pulling this car far more often than anything else. It seems they like to show off their cars too. There are dumb owners of every type of car.

I've said it many times, the owners are the worst part about owning a vette.

2 GT-R drivers acting irrational on the same morning was interesting enough to post, yes. Based on the number of replies, it seems others believe it was an interesting topic. Can you point to the place in my OP or anywhere in this thread where someone called ALL GT-R drivers azzholes.

One could also argue it wasn't "news" that it wasn't news to you.

perfromance = looks =

yeah man how you doing ……… i love all fast cars life is good

need4speedmotors

Their both great cars in my opinion.

For everyday I would take the C7

for those hard canyon drives I love doing I would take the GT-R

& yes you are correct they did change up their driving to show off.

I see it happen a lot here in Southern California.

I don't think I have EVER seen a GTR in my part of the world. Or maybe I have and it was just to plain to notice?

Just picked up a Laguna Blue C-7. I smiled the entire drive home. I never thought I would find myself in a corvette. I own a Nissan store and have had two GTRs and four other Nissans featured in Tuner magazines. I chose the manual vette because it is so fun to drive. It takes me back to my muscle car days. As a GTR owner you can't help but to feel like "hey look at me I'm in a GTR" I guess it's human nature. When I am driving the corvette I couldn't care less what other people are saying or doing. I just love driving it. The GTR was boring. I used to take it to the drag strip and run low 10s with the A/C on drinking a Starbucks latte. I do, however, miss the drifting contests we use to have in my dealership's back parking lot. Those RWD tuner guys are insane!

I traded my 2009 with 38,000 miles in on my 2014 now with 11,000 miles on it. Neither car ever had a single trip to the dealer other than for routine maintenance. I doubt my C7 will fare as well but I stil love it.

I'm only posting today.. because I want to let the entire world know that TWO toyota corollas passed me.. clearly going faster than the speed limit this morning.

One even switched lanes without using his turn signal.

RedC7AZ

Now THATS definitely NOT "news". Although I get your attempt at trying to provide us with humorous sarcasm.

However, it's not every day you see 2 GT-Rs in the same morning, both acting like fools. THATS "News", and why this thread exists.

Nosferatu

Not even close. I'm friends with someone who has a modded one and when we drive around it attracts a ton of attention.

I may be in the "lucky bunch" of having both in the household real soon. My fiance wants one. This way she can stop bugging me to drive my car all the freaking time.

For people that into cars, Nissan GTR creates lots of interest because it has so much great reviews and not that many GTRs are around.

For regular people (which most of the entire population), GTR is just another sedan out there, whereas for vette, most can identify.

RedC7AZ

Here in AZ with all the sports cars, the GT-R does not seem to get much attention based on looks. Around here the way most (not all) GT-R drivers drive is what is getting them (negative) attention. The motive for their sometimes irrational driving behavior is up for debate. However I'm sticking with my theory that they are attention starved.

My wife notices sports cars and makes note of them when we're driving. Neither GT-R even caught her eye that morning. If I hadn't said something to her, both would have been ignored, kind of like a couple of Corollas.

tambeng

Ok, you exaggerate a bit there :-), not Corolla, maybe Infinity G35 with wings.

Woodson

You ever think that maybe they like it that way?

I took the top off today (something I couldn't do with my GTR) I was just cruising along the DC beltway when a yellow Lamborghini hummed by. He waved. Curiously, I waved back. That wouldn't have happened in the GTR. Maybe it was a "top off wind blowing " thing. I gave him a nice big wave as he exited. Maybe I'm getting soft. Oh well the Vette brings out the best in me.
