Going to Drive a GTR in Half an Hour

[RobZ]

Sounds fast but I'm sorry. Thats F U G L Y !

[gmboxster]

I just want to know if it's fast. Don't think you mentioned that.

[Jeph]

Did you get a lot of stares? Do people and other drivers notice the car? I'm curious about those reactions.

Yeah. I think it's cod-awful ugly too. Maybe it will grow on me, but initial impression is

[insite]

in every picture i saw up until i saw the car in person, i thought it was ugly as hell. in person, it looks a LOT better than photos convey. still not a conventionally beautiful sports car, but it does have its own appeal. if you drive one, you will love it.

oh, and it is FAST.

But I drove to work this beautiful, sunny morning with the top down on roads where i can't speed anyway. Sometimes less is more.

The back is cool, the front is hideous, it's insane how fast that thing is but unless they get a better body designer, I don't think Ferrari will be sweating. BTW, don't know if you guys heard, the CEO of Pininfarina, a family member, died, he was hit by a car while riding a vespa, company was in the middle of a restructure.
