test drive
had a day off from work so went out to a couple dealerships.
first stop nissan. tried out the Spec V. interior is really crammed for a 4 door. power delivery is ok but waaaay to much torque steer. maybe im just not used to that much power or something tho
either way the only thing i really liked is that its a 6spd, other than that not impressed
next stop honda. they wouldnt let me touch the s2k so i tried the new civic. they only had the dx on the lot so i tried that. shift throw was looong but smooth. i thought the dash would grow on me but it didnt. still kinda slow even with the upped hp. overall just felt kind of disconnected with the road, and the extreme angle of the windshield made it worse.
next stop ..Porsche..we'll see if i can try out a GT3
lol

But if you say a GT3 blows the doors off... how? Why? Give some backup evidence or opinions for those kinds of statements!

I personally would say the 355, 360, 575, 612, etc are not supercars. The F40, F50, F430, & Enzo, on the other hand, are supercars. The 360 is not in the same league as a Pagani Zonda F or the Koenigsegg.

i've driven both and as i said a few posts down from my original one i wasnt talking about acceleration or top speed i was talking about being fun to drive as in the one i would by. i feel no need to compare it to something i have to to experience. i mean i would have compared it to my s2k but i dont think that it would be a fair comparisson
