Been watching old top gear episodes have you and thought you might like to rehash clarksons first thoughts......coincidently they have changed as he seems to sing all GTR praises as the rest of the editorial world seem to have agreed the GTR is the performance car yardstick of the modern ages.....

I imagine you might also find the 458 and maclaren very arcade like with their flappy paddles and techno wizardry diffs......or maybe the badge dilutes you from having such thoughts......

The rear end of a 911 reminds me of a hamsters backside when running but there you go. Each to their own.

Not at all. Just baiting !!!!!

TBH, I respect just how good the GTR is. And I'm hardly a badge snob, as my last car was a Nissan 370Z !

The GTR just doesn't do it for me. I personally think its too big, I'm not keen on how it looks. I really dislike the look of the dashboard, and yes, it's an Auto. Which is why if finances allowed, I'd have a manual Gallardo over a 458 or 12C. Purely because as it would only be a weekend toy, I'd like to change gear myself. I just prefer my cars that way.

If I just wanted the fastest thing from A to B, then I'd have bought a GTR.

The R8 for me just looks more special (inside and out), sounds better (V8) and has, for me at least, has the better 'feel good' factor owning it, that I just don't think I'd ever get if I bought a GTR.

Each to their own. You like yours, I like mine.

It is quite entertaining to read on the other thread, just not funny when people start to destroy threads with their nonsense

Beautiful car, don't know the spec's but who cares, lovely piece of engineering that would certainly put a smile on my face every time i went to drive it.

More power to you mate, if it's what you want and makes you happy, life is good.

mate i don't care how they are built, it's a thing of beauty.

For someone with such a fantastic life, you are spending a hell of a lot of it in one of the quieter bits of a Subaru related website, and, it has to be said, not really making a very good impression, you could have responded to the trolling better by rising above it and not joining in.

Gutted I missed the bit in my physics lessons about the relationship between colour and speed.
