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.
In general I agree with you on the value of feedback, and a 4000 pound curb weight does not bode well, plus, what fun is a sports car with an automatic transmission. No matter what they call it, if there's no clutch, it's an automatic. But don't you have to drive the car before making the statement you made?
