Take the condom off. Turn off the VDC.

RE: Smooth roads are great but... There is a general lack of suspension/chassis tuning and refinement on non-smooth roads.

I am part of a Ferrari group. Your complaints are the same in a Ferrari, except refinement and they won't turn off their traction control. So this car is not for you either.


RE:

...... There's just a certain numbness and fakeness to it. I'm not sure if its the suspension or chassis tuning, engine/throttle response.

A lady in the Ferrari group owns a 430 a 458 and another 458 on order, a Lamborghini 670 SV and more, including a GTR as her daily driver. A very impressive list. I asked her about the GTR and if she felt it soulless (my experience). She laughed and said no.

A few weeks later, she thanks me, then tells me she bought a 370Z and loves it. It has all the things the OP ( ZzZZz) says it doesn't. Now it is her daily driver.


RE: Or is it really just me?!

I believe both you and the other ladies experiences. I just do not think you are cut out for a modern sports car. Perhaps an older one is more to your liking. They tend to have soul and lots of character. My XKE has everything you want, including an unbelievable smooth ride. No ABS no nannies. Total connectivity.

Good luck.
