A friend of mine who is also my mechanic and an instructor said in his opinion the GT-R is fast as hell but has no soul. He strongly encouraged me to get some seat time in the GT-R but before I make any decisions and that I should look at and test drive a 991.1 GT3 or GTS. That's a pretty big bump in price but I'll take his advice.

I suspect the comment about "no soul" is because it's a twin-turbo V6, AWD, and because of the insane number of electronics that make it feel like real-life Gran Turismo.

Only way to know for sure is drive one for yourself and see how it makes you feel. Don't be suckered in by the crazy acceleration, there's much more to a car than 0-60 times.
