Everything is heavier than PSS and PS2. I think same size in ad08 and the BFG for me were 6 lbs different.

I have owned the following cars:

350Z
RX-7
Supra
Evo 8
Evo X
'11 Mustang GT 5.0
'08 Z06
'07 335i
E92 M3
GT-R

Without question, the two cars that were the most exciting, the most tossable for me to drive were the Evo 8 and the GT-R - both AWD cars. When I turn the wheel I want to feel the car respond immediately but predictably. To me, this quality defines fun.

Clarkson's taste in cars tends towards large front engined, rear-wheel drive cars. Excluding the occasional mid-engine exotic, he is never too fond of any other setup.

By tossable and exciting, do you mean that you think it is easy to control the GT-R on oversteer? And if so, do you consider yourself just an average driver?

Or perhaps "exciting/tossable" means no under/over-steer but high G-forces to you? I mean, we might define these words differently. I am interested in knowing.

Yeah you're right. Most girls could care less about material possessions

And my wife gets hit on all the time driving the M, just waiting for that right girl to complete the trifecta

I don't know what is more absurd: people that buy cars to get laid or people that want people based on the car they're driving? Both are really shallow.

Someone once asked me when they were looking at the Carrera GT and the GT-R and said to me: "Gosh man you must have so many chicks talking to you at lights and getting so much attention. I bet you pull chicks left and right when you pull up somewhere in this thing!"

To be honest, I am sick of the attention. I would never use a car to pull a girl. My 335 believe it or not pulled more tail than any car I have owned, mostly because it was a car they all wanted and went gaga over cause the leather or class LMAO. I couldnt figure it out but it was labled as being "so darn cute."

Best attention you will ever get in the GT-R? Meeting other awesome GT-R owners. YUP I have made more guy friends in the last 2 years than I thought possible. They have some awesome meetups with some true car enthusiasts.

Thanks, seems like you still had fun :-) I'm a bit surprised though that you would recommend GTR for a street use. I don't know why, but to me this car looks like it is begging to be tracked and suffers on the streets (as does the driver). I would expect Nissan to prepare it more for track use, but from what you are saying it seems like one has to invest $ first for the car to be trackable...
