Sorry Chris, but I'm tired of hearing about the Spec V being the "God" of cars.
As for a comparison, it's in the same class as a Focus SVT.
Much like my beloved X-type 3.0L MTX, I have yet to read any article on the Spec V that praises it. I wish it weren't true, much as you do, but the facts are there, in printed paper.
I don't see the Spec V lined up against an Altima, an A4, or a 328. I see it in the same photo shoot with a Civic, a Focus, and some other cookie-cutter car with a sport package.
A car doesn't make a person any better. Because my tour is fast doesn't make my penis any bigger. And most certainly, telling people it could beat an SVT won't do it either. What it might do is alienate people and make them think I'm an ass.
I think your car is nice, but it's just not for me. I enjoy my leather seats and those two extra cylinders under the hood. My next car will be a step up, not down. I'm looking at a 330, an A4 3.0 or the X-type 3.0L. It certainly won't be an SVT Focus or something of the sort.
You might well love the Spec V and hey, congrats to you on picking up another enthusiast car. It might be in the same price range (a little lower I think, but at 30K+, who cares about 2 grand?!) but it's just not the same class. There's a Nismo board out there for you - tout it there. Compare it to Foci with mods all you like. But seriously, this is becoming annoying when all I hear is that damned "My dog is better than your dog!" song playing in my head every time I see your name.
LOL
Faster car doesn't = a bigger penis?
Take it easy on him Ghosst, he is like any other guy that just gets behind the wheel of their brand new car. He thinks nobody can beat him.
Speed is all relative. He thinks a 15 sec 1/4 is fast. In my opinion you havn't seen fast until you get into a sub 12 sec 1/4 mile car.
Whatever floats your boat right?
He must still hold the tour in the highest regard if he is still visiting the site.
