This is a little off topic, but I'm curious if over the years, there have been similar Edmunds episodes such as the current "Should we mod it or not" angst going on over the GT-R? On one hand, it's understandable a long term performance car should remain a long term performance car, if not better. On other, manufacturers often have TSB's for vehicles over their lifetime. Should not these be performed as the manufacturer plans, even if it does slightly reduce vehicle performance in return for longevity? Is the GT-R the first vehicle to face this decision at Edmunds? I've not seen any such musings over Subaru products, but imagine the time may come for that.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Feb 07, 2009 10:47 am) If you are meaning Skyline GT-R, I'd leave that beauty alone. Supercar performance for Premium vehicle price PLUS a warranty - now there's a perfect triad! The only reason I could see to mod it would be to make it a pure race car. AS it is, driving it at anything more than 25% of it's capacity on a public highway would be a ticket in all 50 states and Canada. |

http://www.freep.com/article/20090208/COL14/902080449/1014/BUSINESS01/Love+or+ha- - - te+him++Bangle+changed+way+cars+look "Chris Bangle is arguably the most influential designer of the late 1990s and the first decade of this century," said Jim Hall, managing director of 2953 Analytics, a Birmingham industry analysis firm, and a consultant who helps automakers evaluate designs for new vehicles. I agree. As the article states, his influence can be felt/seen on a whole bunch of vehicles, not just BMW. Bob

Replying to: grahampeters (Feb 07, 2009 4:11 am) I've been following these fires on TV. According to the BBC the latest official death toll stands at 128 as of this posting. That's just horrible, as is the utter destruction. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and your neighbors. Please keep us posted. Bob |
