He was saying it was boring to drive because he couldnt pitch it sideways. Thats what I got out of it. That car is designed to not get sideways...so...I dont see the gripe. If you want to haul more a$$ than J-LO then the GTR is for you. If you want to slide all over the place and go through tires like a drifter then buy something else.

And just because HE couldnt get it sideways in the few hours he had the car doesnt mean no one can. Ive seen some pretty sick videos of this car stepping wayyyy out and then it just comes right back into line. If you ask me this car is pretty awesome.

I will agree with you on the go fast thing, because it is faaasst, but that doesn't mean your going to have the most fun getting there and that is exactly why I thought the boeing statement fits perfect
