4,600 lbs? Geez I thought my GT-R was a piggy.

This car can comfortably seat 5, hold luggage for all of them and still beat almost anything on the road.

And the GT-R IS a piggy. Just a very fast, very capable piggy!

In a straight line, but I bet it doesn't turn worth a crap

I haven't driven it (obviously) but they said that, on the street, it had more grip through corners than they could use up. Turn-in was supposed to be good. Only on a track did they say it ended in terminal understeer.

Then again, it's 4600 lbs. Why would we compare it to anything but what's in its class (S63, Alpina B7, etc, etc)?

If you have to compare your cars weight to a S8 in order to feel good, your gonna have a bad time.

Nah I don't have to compare to a S8, my car kicks the crap out of the Audi halo car R8 too (straight line, turning and braking)
