Yes, looks are subjective, but to me there is not one good angle that is attractive. It is an example of function over form, and for something I would be driving on the street it doesn't do anything for me.

On a side note, I can just imagine how frustrated I would be driving a super fast vehicle like the GT-R, 911 GTS (or turbo) or Corvette. It is frustrating enough having to deal with other cars on the road in the relatively slow Z.

For me, I think I would go with a boosted Z over anything
the only f-type that is worth it is the type r which is auto and awd. the 911 is best had with the PDK tranny (also AT) and comes as AWD with RWD options.

so all your points about MT and RWD are void.

now for dealing with fast cars when there's others on the road it's a simple solution......go around them. you have a functioning right foot I would assume so try and use it.

boosted Z is a retarded alternative to those other choices. boosting an engine which is NA stock comes with headaches. ask anyone who's done it. it's rarely a smooth life afterwards. you give up a large percentage chance of having DD reliability which was the mentioned above I believe as a parameter.
