I don't get it.

The R32 would have been only slightly more responsive than a T3 greens cossie, yet you always harp on about the torque from the 24v.

I said to get shot last year, and you've probably thrown R32 money at it since then.

With advice from some people on here, getting shot of mine was the best thing I ever did. Just wish I'd done it three years ago!

PON, NOOOOO DONT TALK TO MEEEEEE, YOU'LL MAKE ME SELL IT

as for responsiveness, i was only a passenger, but it seemed as if it had pull the moment he hit the throttle. maybe he was driving keeping it in the powerband, but it certainly felt like it had zero response. maybe its cosz it was only boosting to 1bar, so it gets to full boost quicker than a cossie running say 1.5? make sense?

i'd love to havea testdrive in one, but i'd be blaging as i have no funds to buy one

also i dont like it enough to lose the sierra, ive really got a soft spot for my saph, thats probably why i've kept it and treated it with lots of cash even tho i know i can get a "better" car for the same money

600cc, 2cyls, and .6 compression more from the Skyline makes me think itd be a fair bit more responsive TBH.

I usually hate the Jap looks but recently I'm loving the the R32GTR esp without the rear spoiler that black one looks wicked!
please don't tell me how much Renton wants for his.. I really don't want to know.. at all..

I went out in my mates 550bhp GTR33 and it totally blew me away in terms of power delivery and torque
Only prob is they just leave me cold just didn't excite me like the cossie did Blue oval must be in my blood
I like the looks of the R32 thou
