You're complaining about "limiting factors" yet it can STILL hang with the competition despite these "limiting factors"

Fact of the matter is that you simply don't like the car. From a performance perspective your argument is pretty baseless. It's just as fast, handles just as well (if not better) and it's weight is in check with other vehicles in it's class. These are the facts, and whatever reasons you try and come up with to bash the car won't change these facts.

It all comes down to performance and whether you like it or not, it has it. Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't' make it untrue. I think you're just upset because a car you don't like has the performance you don't think it's entitled to.

The limiting factors to me are not it's performance, I was implying to Nissan's ridiculous warranty regulations. It seems they will void it for using the car well as, a performance car. The other point is that it is a Nissan. Nissan is not an exotic brand and never will be no matter what they create. Are they capable of performance vehicles?? Of course, as they've proved that before the GT-R was even a concept.

Nissan to me is treating the GT-R like a Veyron. 45k brake job? Really?

I don't call a ZR-1 an exotic, either even though it's performance is obviously well above most exotics.
