^^^OMG the R34 is tiny compared the R35 and the R34 is not a small car by any means.

I think stock R34 is just a bit thinner than the Mkiv Supra. Wider is definitely better :D

Never seeing a R34 in real life, but seeing a R32 in real life and knowing that they are similar size. The new one is huge.

I think they are correct about wide and sexy, but it's not that low.

your right on that one, it's not that low for such a high performance car. I suppose they probably meant that it looks low because of the profile. I wonder if the suspension lowers at all in race mode?

I haven't read anywhere that the car lowers in R mode, it just gets stiffer, but I could be wrong. That would be a nice feature though. Can anyone confirm this? :confused:

damn... that is crazy difference. the R35 looks like a monster creeping behind the R34. I dont think when in R mode the suspension lowers. It just gets stiffer.

Ha, I was just thinking that EXACT same thing. Looks like a tiger about to pounce on it's prey. Godzilla has arrived.

Thanks for sharing that. This puts things in perspective. Come to think of it, anything would look huge next to 911 Turbo or an NSX.
