After going through several cars I finally came to the conclusion that just being fast was't enough. Anything can be made fast. It has become more about the overall driving experience. Two cars I've owned recently, Porsche 996 Turbo and a BMW M3, both brilliant cars and very fast. Yet when driving them I still felt somewhat numb. It was almost too easy. Most modern sports cars regardless of price lack personality and emotion, going very fast with little drama. Now get in a Lamborghini Countach. The sound, no power steering, heavy clutch and shifter. The looks, the doors, the smell. The overall effort to drive the car - that is an enjoyable driving experience. At least for me.
Lastly, the GT-R won't be winning any beauty contests.
