Might as well pay someone to drive it for you. "Floor it James, now! NOW!"
I don't agree with you there. I wouldn't go that far. It's an engineering marvel, I must say. Having owned it for 2 1/2 years, you'd be hard pressed to find a GTR owner that drives it in auto mode most of the time. We're always in manual mode. Best combo is in manual mode, Trans=Race / Susp=Comf / VDC=Normal for daily driving. Haven't had any Mustang GT's beat me yet.
