Well said. High horsepower and low weight are where it is at. The gtr is definitely impressive but you will need 3 PHd's to fix the damn thing if it breaks (and fast and fat means it will break often if pushed to its limits).

It's pretty common here in the windy city to see 900+ HP Supra's. Cost?
$1500 plus car. Yes, they are street driven in traffic with no issues. Yes, I
have driven them. Some have approached $20k plus car. Owner's personal
touches. There are also a few blown E36 M3's around: 400-700 HP. Those cost
upward of $15k plus car. Plethora of V8's. 400-1500 HP. Even more STi's and
Evo's. Price is all over the place. Strangely, reliability seems to do
less with money - more like luck!


Technology in the new supercars make them fantastic performers. Yes, the
new GT-R was purpose built. Beat the Porsche. Give the GT-R it's props. It's
done it time and time again. (anyone know of the vette's best times around
the 'ring?) Sometimes numbers are not the whole story. A Ferrari is still a
Ferrari. A Vette's a Vette. A few of the exotic car owners in the area also
own Vettes for the track. Why? Cheap to fix and replace and still have
that rush of HP!


Would I love to track a Ferrari? You bet! I just can't afford it and be
competitive. My past choices? BMW, Chevy, Ford, Honda and Mazda power. Oh
well.
