    So to clarify and update my English skills, the letter n while a consonant is treated like a vowel if used on its own. This goes like such - I picked up an apple, or I used an N in this sentence.

    A vowel being described as a sound where the mouth is kept open through the whole sound formation. Does the letter N conform to this rule as when I say this letter my tongue is at the roof of my mouth but my lips dont close.


    Sorry more interesting in my opinion than which is really faster, and I get to learn something

    Well, in this case, it is more important to consider the way one would say the word. As NA stands for Naturally Aspirated, you say each of the letters individually (Read: [En-Ay] as opposed to [Nah]).

    In this situation you would be best off to try saying it out loud. "A NA" looks like it would be right (considering the consonant rule) but if you say it out loud it sounds wrong, like saying "a igloo".

    There are numerous consonants that, when referred to/pronounced on their own, sounds like they start with a vowel. Such as 'n', which is pronounced "en". Others include; m, f, l, x, r and so on, can't be bothered going through the whole alphabet.

    In short, you are correct.

    The End.

    R33 vs Z32 article

    Here are some pics of the article from HPI where they compare an R33 gtst 5spd to an automatic z32 TT.

    Apologies for the crappy iphone camera, my scanner isn't here at the moment.

    15.2? absolutely pathetic and yes thats NA performance. Whats funny is people think one car is faster because it looks better on paper but in the real world driver error comes into play aswell. And yes call me a liar or whatever you'd like, fact still stands i have beaten fairly standard r33 gtst's without too many problems.

    haha nah ur alright kirill wasn't aimed at you.
    yours made more sense being TT vs T and had facts, rather than "hog uleh, i fully dragged a 33gtst and double clutched 5th and smoked him."

    well back in the day topher said he used to beat 32/33 gtst's in his n/a, if not he'd be even or just behind depdending on the car

    i've driven an r33gtst, rode in an r32 gtst and been in a couple n/a z's and i definately believe an n/a z = r32/r33gtst in a straight line
    they are gutless cars

    Sure, off a dig. But 4wd = More powertrain losses, extra weight, and of no benefit from a roll on. Case in point is the Ferrari 430 vs. the Lambo Gallardo.
