Maybe it’s just me but I’d rather own a car that is more rewarding and exciting to drive vice. one that’s merely quick. It’s often the immeasurable qualities of an automobile that get over looked. This is a shame because these “immeasurable qualities” are what makes an automobile so great and or worth the price of admission.
Yes a GT-R starts at around 84k and puts down numbers comparable / better than many cars costing 3-4X as much. But what people fail to realize is that the numbers a particular car puts down isn’t always directly related to it being the “superior” automobile in every sense of the word.
To say the Lexus LFA is a rip off knowing the technology, materials, engineering, etc that went into making it is ignorance at its best. This car is every bit or more capable vs. other super cars in its price range. And besides, like I mentioned numbers aren’t the only factor here unless you make your living winning car races.
A GT-R being just a tenth slower in the is a really dumb way to try and discredit / deem such a magnificent piece of machinery not worthy of its price. The bottom line is that you’ll never know the true value of a vehicle by just looking up 0-60, 1/4mile, lap times, etc. That’s a really generic and pathetic way to evaluate the worth of such an awesome automobile.
And if you haven’t figured it out by now Top Gear is full of s*** much of the time. Top Gear is al most entirely entertainment with just a tad bit of useful information. Basically, that’s a really crappy source to get an opinion of an automobile. And besides, if you haven’t driven the car who are you to judge?
If the shoe fits wear it.
