One of these parked next to me at the mall near my place this week. He was showing it off to all his friends. It looks good, but nothing really 'wowed' me about it. I should have taken the oportunity to sit inside of it.

Nice car. As a Nissan owner I am very disappointed with the quality of their cars. Nissans look great and all but when you look under the car it looks cheap.

wrt to sports cars, performance is a huge aspect. looks are subjective. "reputation" is meaningless.

Let me put it this way. One of my buddies (he is from Qatar) is taking back is modified M6 to get a Z06 since he got his ass handed to him multiple times by a brand new GTR that one of his friends got. Here is the video. I actually got the rims you see on the video sitting in my other buddies garage

Its not if. He definitely will. He is going from a 100+K machine to a 76K machine with a larger modding potential and a lot of cash at hand I'm sure it will be supercharged within a week of him buying it.
