I highly highly doubt your electronic overboost theory.

GT-R is just another good car guys. Just take the positives... great engine, great transmission and apparently a pretty good chassis. Lots of technology and sticky tires. If it weren't for the weight, you have to accept it would be a really good car.

I'm not saying I like computers on wheels in fact I love the fact that my car has no driver aids other than ABS. But as compared to other cars, its pretty damn good.

I think what you guys are protesting the most isnt the car, but the hype fanboys and nissan have built around it with crazy claims...

exactly. It's fast. It is not Jesus. That is all.


I think I'll really like the spec V if it comes with a roll cage (like the old GT-R concept). I'm tired of cars that can only be legally run in the quarter mile once. It'd be nice to see a manufacturer stylishly integrate a roll cage into a road car.

The way Ruf intergrates the cage into his cars.

Very subtle, and as you say, allows you to come to the drag strip next to defend you sub-11.50 victory crown hehe

Or the way TVR made them sexy with leather wrapped roll cage in the Sagaris.

I think the cage in the TVR was more to have something solid to hook the tow rope to... Ruf's seem a tad more reliable than TVR's hehe
