Don't get me wrong, the performance is definitely there, but it's so predictability boring. Unless you're in a low gear the response is horrid, the styling is bland, it's a front engine car, the interior has a ton of plastic, the engine doesn't sound anymore special than a $35,000 G37/370Z.
On a race track the car is impressive, with it's AWD, 1,000,000 electronic driving aids and sequential transmission it will indefinitely turn respectable times. I'd rather have 10 times more fun turning a slower time in a screaming, RWD tail happy mid-engine/rear-engine super car though.  |
Right, so your anecdotal feelings are based on the feel in your pants versus the actual performance. You are allowed that, but that doesn't take away from the fact I posted, for a third of the money you get the performance, and less than half you get a car that nothing on the road can touch... in the GTR.
I think it's funny you think the LFA isn't the same type of car the GTR is. You know... "Japanese". That includes the ride, the interior, and everything else jap cars are known for. LOL.
