This car is going to take the world by storm...I said it before and I'm sticking to it

[gbb357]

^^ That's right. And still gets 21 MPG highway!

I think it's a very nice way to get both ends of the spectrum closer together. On one end people want a heavy, substantial, safe feeling vehicle...but on the other end of the spectrum they also want something tossable, responsive, with good turn-in. This car somehow gets all of that done. It's heavy (that's a fact) yet it hides it very well. Like a fat girl wearing vertical stripes and a corset.

It's got blistering performance of cars that would cost you both arms and legs yet it comes in around the price of the new Z06; which currently is revered as the best bang for the buck. Yet with all this performance you still get a back seat and a trunk the size of a black hole.

This car is perfect.

Wow... 310km/h top speed... nearly 1G of lateral loading... wow...

When you consider the combination of performance, drivability, utility, price point, technology and comfort this could possibly be the best car ever made.

u forgot the looks department^

They just need to fix the front, then it would be perfect.

Technically, its the most impressive car, but its still shit ugly. I'd buy something easier on the eyes for that kind of money.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love it.

Anyone know what the US speed limiter is? I know Japan it is only 110-120mph or something like that

I thought so too but after seeing it in person my mind was changed. Very substantial looking car. Besides there is not a damn thing even close at that price point performance wise.

You don't think the Z06 is close enough?

[Crester]

The GTR flows better in real life vs. pictures... but it still isn't exotic looking. It looks "okay".

The Z06 is a much more raw car. I'm sure as an everyday super car the GTR is far more livable. I'd still take the Chevy though.
