    Re: I knew the GT-Rs Nurburgring time was fishy...

    I love this comparison:

    Seventeen years ago, the first Japanese supercar arrived in the States: the Acura NSX. Fabulous numbers, a half-price Ferrari, buff-book craziness, slavering car writers, rumored to be the benchmark for the McLaren F1, development work by Ayrton Senna… So where did the NSX go? Ultimately, it became the orthodontist's car, when the world went back to buying Porsches and real Ferraris. Care to take bets on what will happen to the GT-R?
    and this:

    Who cares? Acquiring a supercar, rather than fantasizing about one, faces the buyer with a decision with vastly more to do with real-world attributes than with video games, bad movies and teen fetishes. (Admittedly, the last video game I played was Space Invaders.) It fascinated me that nobody in Nevada or California noticed the GT-R, other than carwash attendants, 14-year-olds with mullets and every parking valet in Vegas. The rest of the world walked on by, assuming they’d encountered a new Toyota Supra.

    Re: I knew the GT-Rs Nurburgring time was fishy...

    The guy in the article talks negatively about "bench racing" in the first paragraph, and then goes on to talk about a Z06 running the ring in ideal conditions. That's pretty much the definition of "Bench Racing" What a F#cking hypocrite
