The Viper was to be a cheap super car, something to compete with the vette. Yet a Vette is much more commonly seen and driven than a Viper. What about the NSX? Another blur like the GTR, a V6 powered high performace car. I have always thought of cars like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, and Lotus as so-called super cars. The kind of cars that are out on the weekends and are rarely daily drivers. I think this is what Nissan was aiming for with the GTR. An elite car that was used by guys who drive a Benz as a DD. who the hell cares what is a ‘performance’ car and what is a ‘supercar’ in everyones opinion. if 2 cars perform at or close to the same level, then they are gonna get compared, regardless of whether or not you see one more commonly than the other. if a car is made to perform and has advertised performance features, then the owner should be able to race the car and use the features w/o worrying about the manufacturer voiding the warranty/not standing behind their car, or paying out the ass for ridiculous repairs (like the tranny). doesnt matter if you are loaded and can afford the repairs or not, its still not acceptable. hell, i can go outside right now and use launch control and drop the clutch on my SS all day long. if i drop the tranny (which more than likely wont happen) then Colussy is putting a new one in it on GMs bill, no questions asked. thats what the owner should expect when buying a performance car, whether its 25g’s or 100g’s --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gtr-cheap-supercar/202485)._
