Nice win for Nissan

That F-type exhaust note is sexy though!

Arrvaxx 08-23-2013 01:37 PM

Did I see that correctly? A 577hp station wagon? WTF world do I live in? Oh yeah...Juke-R land. Carry on.

m4a1mustang 08-23-2013 01:37 PM

I like how the ST was included. It's not fast but its so much fun.

Yup! Feel free to check out MotorTrend's channel for their 1.17h Best Driver's Car comparison with all those same cars.

People love the Focus ST, but it does need a few mods from stock if you want to track it (what doesn't at that price anyway?!).

Cmike2780 08-23-2013 03:28 PM

Speeeeeeeed!

nuTinmuch 08-23-2013 05:45 PM

I would gladly drive every car there.

Ours is "stage 3" as Cobb calls it. Puts down 330 lb-ft to the wheels at something like 2,000 rpm. The giggle factor is high with that car.

Not to brag, but I do own one of them and drive it every day. :smug:

GTR FTW. I'm already saving for this.

Shamu 08-25-2013 11:52 PM

Just seems like weird line up? Why no 911 turbo? caddy CTS V? mustang GT 500? Lambo? Fast F cars? Lexus super car?

I believe the lineup is based off of new 2013 MY supercars and sports cars that are used in the "Best Driver's Car of The Year" feature. There is some carryover from the year before. They had the BRZ in last year, GT500, etc.

Here is last year's race:

If I had waited a year to get a new car and not gotten the Z this year, the ST would be high on my list for sure.

SPOHN 08-26-2013 08:24 AM

If only the Z was all wheel drive

/Angelo350Z/ 08-26-2013 08:32 AM

Very impressive. I can't wait to see what the next generation GTR will look like. I hope Nissan keeps it looking very masculine, but maybe a little but prettier. If that makes sense.

Yeah it's a cool car. Lots of fun to drive and very practical. We just took it on a trip this weekend and averaged 30-35 mpg on the highway depending on speed, can haul a bunch of crap, and still have fun when the roads get twisty or when we just want to put the pedal down. ST + Z make for a really good combo. :driving:

Cmike2780 08-26-2013 09:02 AM

As much as I like the GT-R, I'd still pick the Vanquish over anything in the lineup. It's just so damn sexy.

It's funny when the "practical" choice would be the GTR. :) (We have winters...)

This. My ST replaced my Expedition, not my Z! :D I have an inkling that the Z will be replaced by a 2015 Mustang if they get it right (i.e. the wife agrees)

I love that F-Type look and sound, and am very glad it placed well in the driver's car contest. If I had $60-100k to spend on a car, I'd actually include that one in the short list to test drive. It's sexy!
