It looks awesome. LHD only will put people here off though. I doubt it is comfortable and it certainly will not be quiet inside.
so it's better
end of story
who would want the second fastest car round the Nurburgring?
where lhd might even be an advantage?

Plus the wheel will be on the wrong side.

even I accept that Nissans have moved on from the 120Y (apart from interiors)
now the Yanks have smashed the myth about their inability to build performance cars that handle into smithereens
and don't we all agree that it's the track time that matters (because having a GTR ain't too much advantage round the south circular)?
in which case lhd could be an advantage
it certainly would be getting to the 'ring and back

I think my dislike of American cars has sound engineering justification, rather than any other reasons
Too agricultural for my liking, and they seem to create massive engines which any German manufacturer would get a lot more power from.
I admire German and Japanese engineering, hence I like the cars they make.
I can't comment on the handling as I haven't driven one of these things, but it's probably got leaf springs on it somewhere
But yes if it genuinely is faster around the Nurburgring than the GTR then it must be the best
(if it's true it is impressive)

But a big wing Evo rocks your world
Oh, crap, that was the last car or was it the one before?

I'm not sure how you can draw those conclusions from the picture
My beemer has a much higher ride height and is still pretty uncomfortable on less than good surfaces
