When I need to get there, RIGHT NOW!
I enjoy playing video games and one of my favorite types is car simulation or car arcade ones. When they have licensed car models I always try to save up my virtual cash to get a Nissan Skyline GTR R34. This is the fifth generation of the car that came out during 1999-2002. In the games that I played it, the car was fast and handled totally like I wanted it to. I still think it's
a sweet looking car. Nissan then came back in 2007 with a newer version and ever since then it's been
my dream car. I got a family to think of though so it's good to know that in 2011 it took the award for fastest 0-60 acceleration by a four seater production car in Guiness World Records at 3.2 seconds. That was a 2010 model and from what I understand the 2013 model is even faster.
Ok so it goes fast, why this one?
When I looked more into the car I realized some of the other things that it has. For example the engine is put together by one master engineer in a sealed room. Don't worry I think they let him out once he is done. That engine is rated at 545hp for the 2013 model. Although I did hear in a Top Gear (awesome car show) episode that the total can vary, but usually it's more. The rating is like the minimum. It features a dual clutch that puts the next gear ready so that shifts are super quick. It also features unique selections for the transmission, suspension and stability control so you can tailor it to your current driving requirements. It has an all wheel drive system so even on those days that it snows the car is composed.
But check out that dash!
For most cars you wouldn't really care, but in this car Nissan got together with Polyphony Digital. Gamers will recognize this name but for those non-gamers this is the company that created the Gran Turismo games which I believe is one of the more
realistic car simulation games. The screen has the capability of showing you different things about the car, including: acceleration, braking, steering, gear position, and lap time. It will also show you the g-forces. I'm a dad so the lap time would be especially handy for taking the kids to school and figuring out which way is the fastest. "That's right kids, we are going to see how fast we can go the long way again."
Don't forget the exterior
I know that beauty is in they eye of the beholder and since I'm writing this, I think this car is beautiful.
Just look at it. It just looks like it goes fast. To me it also seems to have a futuristic look to it, like it could transform into a robot or some sort of flying machine. Of course the color I would go with is Jet Black which just adds to the possibility of it taking off.

Anybody out there agree? What car do you like? Does anyone have one that could give me a ride?
