[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 15077106, member: 155561"] OK, i think you and i are just on two completely different pages. I wasn't strictly talking about what the car is capable of doing, but since for the second time you've mentioned your mother driving stick, i will comment on that. Just because you drive stick does not make you skilled is a 100% correct statement. However, driving an automatic with a slick dual clutch transmission takes even considerably less skill. Trying to juggle 3 pedals coming into turn 1 at 100+ mph is much more demanding than just braking and clicking a paddle shifter once or twice ... So i guess at this point i should broaden my view of the opposing argument. If purely clicking off lower lap times is where you find enjoyment, then you are probably more likely to find them in the GT-R. If, like any sport, working out, etc, you like seeing incremental gains through putting in effort and work, you will likely find more enjoyment in the GT350. I feel thats a pretty fair statement. Secondly, my fiance' beating the driver and not the car was exactly my point, you even highlighted the part where i said "electronics and nannies will only take you so far." Despite how good a car is, you still have to be somewhat competent behind the wheel. Sure, you still have to know the line in a GT-R, know what the car can and cant handle, but it really is still doing a lot of the work for you. [/QUOTE]
