Thanks! That's the point, it looks like only a few really love cars, others would just drive specific type of wheels..."ooh no it's Japanese, and it's weight 1700kg, errgh, thanks for asking".....give me an old ford escort or a new sports car , and i will manage to have fun in both of them. There are different cars, and different pleasures for each of them.

They're getting the car sorted out finally, but it still needs to do more than put down unbelievable 0-60 times. The GT-R's that ran in World Challenge last year failed to finish a single race. Reading the manufacturer points standings was always funny. For instance: Volvo: 88 points Porsche - 8 . . . Nissan -88.

I think that 0-60 time isn't and has never been the goal of the GTR, but the market does what the public wants.It would be good if they still made FR cars like they used to do, light, no fancy electronics, simple and beautiful shapes, but unfortunately that is not what the playboys wants. So Nissan figured out that they had to introduce the traction control again, and now they are doing 2.9s in a FAT car whit "only" 530hp. And that don't avoid the warranty, they only ask you to drive 1 mile after 4 starts, to cool down the gearbox.
But this car was build by people that over the past 30 years were creating machines to go around corners, so they have a little know how about that.
