1500hp bores you to death?

 

^^Some valid points. Where's the soul? I was actually expecting a pretty dramatic launch, only got a few skips of wheel spin instead.

 

What a beast and a deal too at $200K!!

 

Pretty easy to be bored when all you're doing is watching a video on a computer. To own it would be another thing. I doubt "boring" would be the word I'd use.

 

Is this commenter being serious?

I too, like to compare stripped out sub 2000 lb non street legal cars to daily driveable cars with full interiors

 

My GFs 69 camaro ran 8.8 with the 572 and truckloads of nitrous, it was one of the top 10 fastest street cars in America according to Hot Rod mag in the early 90s, her car needed about 1100 hp to do that. That GTR is an absolute monster, not a pretty car, but to run high 8s is scary fast.

 

I love those cars so much. Jesus.

I find that to be one of the most amazing and interesting things about it. It handles the power so well. Its like the Veyron in that respect. Also I highly doubt it feels soulless from behind the wheel.

 

People care too much that the car has no "passion". It was never designed with passion. It was designed to destroy cars that cost 2-3x more than it and it does just that.

The fact this car exists should -I hope- convince other manufacturers that there is a market for sports cars in the 80-100k market.

 

I test drove a stock 2010 GT-R this week and let me tell you, that thing is FULL of soul. The acceleration is brutal, the brakes will put your brain into the back of your skull and it handles and feels like my 3,400 lbs 3 series not a huge supercar. You can hear the mechanical noises of the transmission doing it's thing and the stock exhaust sounds great. I've read many times it feels like a boring Playstation game but my personal experience is that it's just the opposite.

Coming from a supercharged Elise and Cayman S owner, the GT-R is easily as fun and interesting to drive than both my cars. I was very impressed and I'm hard to impress. I thought a C6 Z06 was cumbersome, numb and torqueless below 4,000 RPM.
