Yeah, and the GTR lets you go fast without much driver ability or experience. All the driver nannies add weight. Safety is a concern as well, I am sure a GTR is pretty safe as far as fast cars go. But who knows, I don't think they crash test high level sports cars.
Remember when 3000lbs+ for a sports car was heavy? Everyone should drive a Lotus to be reminded of what a true sports car feels like.
I have, and agree...great car. Even though I would NOT want a Lotus (2000 lbs.) very long for street duty. It's a dumb but willing skinny chick that's only good for one thing. I'm old. I still prefer my "fat(er) chick" at 2780 lbs. She's got curves in the right places, doesn't embarrass you in front of friends and knows how to cook.
The USDM 1992 NSX with manual transmission is 3,010lbs.
Meh, depends who you believe, plenty of guys on NSX prime corner balance thread were in the 2800-2900 range with USDM NSX's, some were over 3,000 depending on what they had in the trunk, how full the fuel was, etc. I guess it depends on options.
Id like to drive one of those new Factory Five 818 kit cars. Supposed weight of 1800 pounds and Subaru WRX running gear good for 250-300 HP. Sounds like a blast of a car.
This threat is a great reason that there has been no discussion of the new Focus - most of us are distracted by the fact that there are much better cars on the road.
