If you are like me, you do not race your car on a track (I said race not HPDE). Instead your car spends all its time on the street. So, ultimate speed is not important rather driving fun is. That's where the GTR falls down IMHO. It may post good numbers and that's exciting until your first accident, ticket or death. Then you realize (if you are not dead) that driving fun comes from driving a car that responds to your commands, not one that commands you. The GTR sounds like a soulless speed machine. I would get as much enjoyment out of going super fast in it as I would get as a passenger on a 747.
