Oh well guess he will have to just rock the beamer.

It's not rice, just an asian import. It's not like it's a Honda Civic. The 997 is just as much as "rice" as the GTR is because both are imports. lol.


Well, for a baller like him, buying a Boss and doing a auto swap should be nothing. Add a blower and he's got a fast car that will haul ass with an auto on the road course or the strip. But I'm sure nothing will come of this like everything else your Dad talks about doing. haha.

Sounds like a lotta work for a guy who is already too lazy to shift

If your pops wants a fast auto, tell him to get a CTS-V coupe! Slammed on a nice set of wheels, ported blower and exhaust = balls to the walls fast old guy car.
I like this option.

He doesn't want a project car as the vert didn't work out well. Lol. Wants a fairly stock car that can be made fast easily. He'd rather have a Shelby, again stick and he doesn't have the thrill of shifting like we do (he never did even young)..

I was just trying to help him out so I can get the vert back and actually get it running right, instead of it sitting around un-tuned with a shitty transmission. Meh

And a Porsche is nothing like a gd Nissan man, that was pretty good though. They might run similar, but the driving experience is completely different. The GTR has been compared to a driving simulator, completely opposite of one of the best handling driver's cars ever built.
