Riiiggghhhtttt.

The ACR is miserable to ride in outside of the track scene. Fact. And, when I mean slower, it's negligible. I just headed off the bullshite smack talk.

Good lord - this power 580 ps (572 bhp / 427 kw)
Torque 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) in a car that probably weighs a hair over 3000 pounds with all wheel drive is insane.

It is also half the price of the supercars it not only competes with, but also, in most cases, bests.

For anyone who is legitimately into racing their car, the lap time difference between ACR and GT-R are not negligible. The ACR is much quicker.
Lap Time Comparison

That said, I 100% agree with you regarding comfort. But in reality, very few are daily driving any of these cars so it's kind of moot. All of it is subjective anyway and none of this is on topic

Lots of GTRs are driven daily. It's fine of you don't prefer it to something else. But don't make shite up

The new 2017 911 GTS just released will put up numbers that are close to the turbo (not quite turbo specs, though), and I believe starts at around $20k more than the Dodge Demon discussed here (about $125k).

It is still too new to have all the track times out yet (outside Porsche numbers).

Should be a blast to drive!

You have as much proof to back your claim as I have to back mine, so how am I the only one making shite up?

There have been 10,400 GT-R's sold in the US since they came out, what % of those do you honestly think are daily driven?

I agreed that a GT-R is a more comfortable vehicle vs the ACR and most other cars in its class, so I'm not really sure why your panties are all in a wad over it.

My old college room mate and his wife have 1 (each). They both DD theirs.

So, 2 out of 10,400 for certain.
