Default Chicken Or The Egg?

so, what came first, the GTR or the WEBER SPORTS front bumper? to my knowledge, the WEBER SPORTS came out way before the GTR prototype. am i wrong?
i think the Weber front bumper looks sick! i love it! but i'm tired of people saying "wow, copy of a GTR".
when my Z is finished this fall, i'll take on any factory GTR at the track, and have about 20k less in my car than the cost of the GTR. the GTR is badass for sure, but damn i love the Z!!!

In the case of the chicken/egg issue: The chicken came definitely first, just
like Adam & Eve came before Cain & Able. Now, if you listen to Darwin, Eins-
tein, Sagan, Nietszche, etc., you'll end up confused. At any rate, whatever
we believe in, we do it by faith, so I've chosen to believe our Creator.

yes, i will. all wheel drive will be the gtr's only advantage against my z. and that's not enough. i've seen a "built" z do faster laps than the R8 at thunderhill raceway. all he had was an intercooled turbonetics system, full stillen exhaust, cosworth heads and intake and tein suspension mods. of course tires and wheels. a 500hp Z that sticks to the track can do amazing things, don't kid yourselves.

I never really struggled with this question since time is imaginary but I did create a microcosm reenactment. I went to a deli and ordered a chicken salad sandwich for me and an egg salad sandwich for my date (to see which came first). Oddly, they came at the same time. Good enough for me.

all of you non believers, including gambino who can't spell 'fail', probably don't even know what vehicle holds the track record at Infinion Raceway. well, believe it or not, it's a 125cc shifter kart, A GO-KART!!!. yes, faster laps than a super bike or even steve millen's 1993 300zx imsa car. we have all seen a honda crx do a 7 sec. quarter mile too.
gtr's are great cars from what we can read in magazines, but who says a Z can't be built to smoke the gtr? it's simple vehicle dynamics, power to weight ratios. why so many unbelievers?

yeah, what he said. (btw, It's "non-believers" not "un-believers")
