Personally why wouldn't you have the best quality machinery on hand to make you the best driver you can be? The traction control is still off, and the car is doing nothing but being itself in performing in another leauge than many of these other cars.

I really don't understand what exactly it takes to win people over, every magazine editor loves this car, race car drivers pretty well praise it as well, top gear beat a ton of cars on thier list with a superb time, what exactley will make mo's opinion so much more vaild than 100's of the automotive industrys top people?

I know he's a friend of yours, but when he comes back in 3 weeks gaga over the gtr, will that make you gaga as well?
150K, damn I was just talking that I had a list in the same 70-80K range as the GT-R. You open it up to 150K and my list gets exponentially longer. Vette's, Gallardo's, M's, P-cars, etc, etc, etc....

To win me over, let's see it needs a cosmetic redesign, loss of at least half of the driver assists, a true manual transmission, and loss of a bunch of weight. There's more but that's a start anyway.

I highly doubt Mo will come back gaga over the GT-R but if he does, I'll value the opinion. That's only because I know it's unbiased and from a guy that has spent more time behind the wheel of performance cars than most people on this site put together. Would it win me over, doubtful. This car just doesn't do anything for me but to each his own.
