Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Re: 2013 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 Debuts
Eh? A lot of the racing versions of the GT-R were RWD, I think it's a fair question.
And it seems it is RWD...

All the street versions are AWD. The RWD race cars are just that: race cars

The R32's were, but they won way too many races so they changed the rules to ban them. RWD was one of the ways they got back in.Sabre wrote:My bad! I thought all of them were AWD!
