The reasson for this decision, pure and simple nothing is more appeling to a driver then a rear wheel v8 engine. I love the GTR but I don't want a car that drives me I want a car that I drive. The GTR felt to me like an extremely sexy women. It tells you what to do it has a great ride and looks great but it doesn't have that lasting appeal that girl you actually love. Gents M3 for the pure driver and the GTR for drivers who just want attention and be able to look like they know how to drive.

(I'm going to get destroyed by someone on this forum for what I said aren't I lol)
If you feel that the GTR drives you, you're not pushing it hard enough.

People tend to forget that it has limits, you need brass balls to get the GTR there though.

Curious to know what other "electronic nannies" the GTR has that other cars don't.
It's not that the electronics differ from any modern sports car it's the feeling of the road you and car. When I drove the gtr I never had that feeling of the road car and me. Now I wanna make it clear the GTR is a gorges car and deserves praise for what it's done. But the gtr is a super car for dummies. The amount of forgiveness it has makes me feel it's a car for an 18 year old who doesn't know how to drive and can afford that kind of car via parents and that Is what the gtr is to me. I'm a track guy and not drag strips, the gtr from what I have seen make drivers who can't even shift properly look like michael schumacher and that my friends Is why I feel the gtr is not a drivers car but a car for... Let's not beat around the bush pissed off teenagers
