Thoughts?

The world's population has created a future imbalance whose effects are already being seen, who says culture is popular?

Apparently every GTR will perform differently as the engines are hand built, therefore will perform differently. If that makes sense. I've also heard that each engine is so different, that if you were to replace an engine from one, into another, the car just wouldn't work as the computer and the gearbox wouldn't be able to figure out what is going on. Damned sexy car though. POWAAAAAHHHH!
