I won't. I buy what works. The Z06 works better than any other car under 1/4 mil for my intended purpose. If something else did better for similar $, I would buy that.

It weighs nearly 4,000 pounds, is AWD, has 4-seats, and comes in automatic only. That is a polar opposite of what I wanted in a fun car. My intended purpose was to have fun, and that means 3 pedals on the floor, a light car with decent horsepower, and only 2 seats so I wouldn't have to drag multiple people (or another 500# of car) around with me.

I know I dont agree with IC on a lot of his points, but he nailed it on the head here - the GT-R is literally about the opposite of what I want in a car: bloated, automatic, and may as well do all the driving for me.

Sure, it runs the ring in a sick time, but that doesnt mean **** to me in the end.
