I'm sure the car would be perfect for many people. I like to drive using a lot if not all the potential of what I'm in and I can do that in my Z or Mel's £1000 MX-5. In the 2 hours with the R35, I did it for about 2 minutes.
Glad I'm not the only one to think this. Be supprised if you even got 2 minutes of full potential out of it
You could say that about any supercar though, I'm sure Chris hardly ever gets the full potential out off his F430 or sarnie from when he had his lambo!
Thats true. However IMO you buy a "proper" supercar for the experience of driving it, with Fezza's and Lambo's you get a lot more drama from them and more of an experience than just a stupidly fast car. The interior of a GTR is no where near as good as experience as a true supercar, nor is the experience, other than its fecking quick. Its just so easy to go so quick in it, theres no challenge and I found it quite boring TBH once you get over the initial "$%$£ this is so quick" of it all.
No knocking the GTR - its an amazing car for what it is and for the price, just I find it boring on UK roads as it gets to the speed limit far too easily and isnt involving enough at sub speed limit speeds.
This is very true.
In my Gallardo, driving it was never about how fast you could get somewhere, but the actual experience of doing so. Driving it was like a drug. The start up noise, the tick over, the interior, the rev counter, the clunk and click of the open gate when you slot into into first, the attention the car got 100% of the time, the 3 foot flames coming out of the decatted Tubi exhaust, the blistering speed, the Lamborghini badge looking back at you from the steering wheel; the entire experience was intoxicating from start to finish.
Hitting 0-60 quicker than everything else on the road, just doesn't even come into the equation.
I'd still buy one (when they are between £35-£40k) but I'd be buying it as a fast car to transport the family in, rather than for a true Supercar experience.
