Agreed. I'd forgotten though how far up front the engine was. Must be a good, ooh, six inches between the front of the engine and front of the car :lol:

Yes, that always been a problem with Audi's... a big chunk of the engine sits in front of the front axle line... a bit like a 911 in reverse. Caused all sorts of understeer issues!

Not so much of a problem if you were as talented as Walter Rohrl, Michele Mouton etc though.

And theres an Auxiliary Radiator squeezed between the grille and belt covers for good measure! :lol:

Ignore the red markings that was for something else:

Can't say I've ever had any Understeering issues ;)
 
2010 GT-R


I don't want to come off as "that guy", but can you put a little piece of paper near the plate with GTP SuperSilverGT-R. I believe you pretty much anyway, but that would just make it even more awesome...and a reason to come out to Texas :lol:.

Or JDM pose and GTP sign
 
Nice car. So do you track it or do you just go around bragging about someone else's lap time? :lol:

Once it has sufficient break in miles, I'll track it. It's not my daily driver. Anyways, the plate makes sense to people who know about the GT-R and the 'Ring. GDZLLA and I8TKYO were taken. If I had the skills to post those kinds of lap times, I'd be a Nissan-hired professional. They didn't ask to see my racing license when I bought it.

Its nice to hear someone plans on using the car for something other than a status symbol. 👍
 
Well I wrecked my car last week, so I had to get something new, and since I didnt expect to total my car I havent had a chance to save up for a downpayment, so I wanted something fairly cheap. I was eyeing an Audi TT but thats gonna have to wait now. Also wanted something very reliable and good on gas, since I have a 40 mile commute to work and I drive a lot outside of work too.

I ended up just going with a 2011 civic EX coupe in rallye red. The car looks awesome, but its only 140hp and I went with the automatic :(. I would have loved to get something with more power, manual tranny, but I spend a lot of time in traffic and because of the length of my commute I just felt like this was the best option for now.

Being this is mostly used for my commute to work, a race car isnt exactly the best option for me, but it does bother me. Did I make a good decision? Looking for reassurance here. lol
 
If most of your journey time is commuting then there's nothing wrong with going with an auto. Give yourself a little time to get financially secure again after your crash and you can always grab something fun with a manual transmission in a year or so.

It's basically exactly what I'm planning, only my car was stolen and crashed! I'm looking for something cheap to run and more than likely auto which I can use every day, and in a year or so buy a cheap Miata again that I can have fun with.
