Way more $$ yes, but both designed for he drags and ill back the R35 thanks......ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an absolute tripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an absolute tripper. Of course they aren't comparable (already pointed out numerous times) was just pointing out heavily modified v heavily modified (the only "like" between the two) the difference in times and capabilites between the cars. Nothing more, which is why its a stupid thread (and arguing that Ts "smash" Skylines including R35s). Edited 11/01/12 11:09 PM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it around a track and the FG will be in the sand on the first corner.I'd much prefer a Ford Meteor anyway. Sex on wheels.
