Plus it snows a lot.

Guess I've got to sell mine then and get a NISMO since it can't handle.

Or you could apparently improve its handling with Membrane Switches and PU Dome Labels or whatever any of that is.

Gotta love the people who claim knowledge of a car without having driven one. If you think the GT500 cannot handle you've either never driven one OR...you lack any type of performance driving skills. Is it the best handling car out there NO...of course not however, can it handle and handle well? YES.

Also, for the record, the GTR is a faster car in ALL areas. I own a GT500 and I have no problem admitting that the GTR will beat my car from 0-60, 1/4 mile, and on a road course. ZL-1? I like them a lot, great car and it will beat the GT500 in some areas just as the GT500 will beat it in others. The way I see it...buy the car you enjoy, there's always something faster.

Mustang automatically loses the race because it lacks the WILL OF THE WARRIOR

We just race again, I win again!

I just wish my trolling/douche/fanboy skills would make my [insert whatever car I am driving today] superior to all. Guess I don't have it in me.

Glad I drove my S2000 today. I don't think my 5.0 could have handled the commute. Too dangerous to drive!

because we all know that the Race Cars are the same as the street car

All parts, 100% the same

Oh but I am a fan, and I also know that the 370 lost the lead at the start of the race.

And I also know the times for all of the cars are very close in that series. Hardly great enough to say one car handles better than another after one result.

Clean thread. Imagine that!
