No, I agree.
But don't tell me that GTR isn't doesn't give you that feedback, the thrill, responsive steering on the track that other cars do. Just tell me that GTR isn't for you and I'll respect it.
Only thing that bothers me is that people claiming how the GTR offers no satisfaction while on the track.

all along i have said people buy these cars according to class and a lot of times they don't fall into the same class. where you got your assumption that's beyond me and very funny
what bothers me is your borderline sarcastic comments against other members

Please forgive me when I say this as I am absolutely not trying to come across as a *****, but those words are what someone who could not afford any of those cars. Ask anybody with the means to buy a car in the mid $100K to over $200K and see if they care about $50K in their pocket when buying a car that has prestige ,luxury, driving experience, performance and just plain all around wow factor...which the GTR does not have apart from performance.
What is this about? He is right the GT-R will spank a R8 for 1/2 the price. Yes, the lowly Nissan. Badge hound? Until the R8 came Audi had nothing to keep up with the R34, R33 and R32 GT-Rs.
The GT-R was THE FIRST PRODUCTION CAR TO LAP THE RING IN UNDER 8 MINUTES.
I8ABMR,
Dave's right. I don't know any Ferrari owner who would even consider buying a GT-R instead, regardless of the performance numbers. Driving experience and prestige cannot be quantified in numbers. I suspect that you won't fully understand until you've driven both.

Please be my guest, stop with these foolish remarks and do not waste your own, mine or anyone's time with these baseless statements.
Point is not that I have or had these cars, point is I am speaking from experience, where you most likely came to your conclusions from reading whole lot of BS online.

To make the point I am trying to get thru, lets take this topic to the extreme. Some 18 year old kid pull up at a red light with his 500hp sup up ricer, a 45 year old man in a $1000 suit pull up next to him in a Ferrari. The kid rev up his engine, the older man gives him the thumbs up. The light turns green, the kid speed off and the older man slowly accelarate to 35 MPH. Sometime, just the look of the car will wins a race, it doesnt matter how fast you go.

people who buys Ferrari's for image are not enthusiasts . You buy a luxury car for image. The enthusiasts wants pure performance, thats why ALL of the magazines in the world have declared this car to be almost totally unmatched in performance . The GTR has my vote.
To each his own. I know the GTR tends to split the group.

A Ferrari is in another realm. Its racing history, their stories and their tech is beyond incredible.
Ferrari's are built by people who feel there is no competition.
Every new debut it seems to extend that point.

Last time I checked, I believe I bought a luxury car b/c it was confortable and the amenities it provided. You seem to paint a picture with a very broad stroke. If I wanted a car for image I would have gotten something else... And I know a lot of other people who are in the same boat.
Why do you continue to assume that enthusiasts are only interested in performance? B/c you are? I can't believe we are probabley about the same age.
Best I can sum it up is it is like writing a MONTBLANC and a Parker pen, sure they both do the same thing are are great pens, but there is just something about the MONTBLANC that a parker will never have. And if you can't understand that , then this conversation is pointless.

). but the lf-a isn't AWD is it?Don't confuse getting bang for your buck and wanting a car no matter how expensive at a reduced rate. Just b/c people are willing to buy a $200K car and lets say they can afford a $500K car does not mean that those people don't want dollars taken off the price even when they can afford it (Most people I know who are wealthy have got that way by being very smart when they buy and sell things). You are confusing the issue here I think.
Most people buy a Ferrari for image. Just ask any Ferrari salesman. The enthusiasts are the vast minority, which is one reason I'm turned off from buying one.
