I definitely wouldn't be buying one, but that's quick, I can respect that. A C6 Z06 is less money (as a slightly used car), is quicker around the track, and a better looking car IMO.

Even started raining on the one part of the track and it got a little wild for the driver. Wonder what tires were on it, pulling over a G in the corners, definitely not a street tire.
No, it's still a GM. I've driven enough "fast" American cars to know that I'll never own one. I currently have a euro sports car and I've yet to feel the same connection, fit and finish, hp and quality in anything American. Germans know how to build a car starting from the drivers seat out. No hate, it's just from my experience and opinion.
that was just porsche bitching at nissan because they lost badly
Who says I'm talking about Porsche? Nissan sends boosted cars and lies by claiming they are stock. The proof is in the side-by-side video of the ZR-1 vs the GT-R.
I might have to side with James May on this..unless you actually intend on tracking the car on a regular basis, ring times are nothing more than a marketing gimmick. And we all know 95% of the people who will buy this car (and can even afford to buy this car) are 50-something white men who have no intention of taking it to the track.

And don't forget it ruins the car on regular roads...
