It is still close enough to where you can't be a crappy MT driver and still beat it.

I would hate one for a DD. The Grand National is pretty sweet as a 1/4 mile sleeper-type car, but actually driving it around on the daily... heck no. At the end of the day it's just a piece of crap 1980s Buick that drives like a 1980s Buick. The only difference is this one goes really fast in a straight line.

A DD is supposed to be a POS, then you go home and get in your Z06/GTR/Gallardo/whatever and have fun. I just really like the look and history of the GN.

Meh, a DD is not supposed to be a POS. Beater is supposed to be a POS.

A DD is meant to be a practical car. It's supposed to be comfortable and/or economical, and inexpensive. It can be fun or pretty, but that's not the primary function.

A beater is just any car that has seen much better days, a car you're driving into the ground. My Mazda6 is both a beater and a DD.

my DD is Ford Raptor 6.2 definatly not a POS

I forgot to mention that. DD's can be practical in terms of work. An AWD vehicle or a towing vehicle certainly qualifies.

DD doesn't have to be inexpensive. Your DD could be an Infiniti M56 and your fun car could be a 370Z TT.

Fixed.

A DD os what ever you as an individual is comfortable driving everyday. I am not one to have cars that sit around and collect dust so my DD is my Z.

A GT-R doesn't scare me so neither will a v6 bone-maro.

The GNs are fun to watch at the track. They just sail away in one solid motion...It even sounds like they just have one big gear the way that tranny shifts.
