the weight is a complete non issue on the car in real life.. the only people who complain about weight are people who see the stats in a magazine.. in a column next to another car that might be lighter....but the GTR is a sub 3 sec 0-60 just over 7:20 ring time and probably a 10.9-11.0 1/4 mile car... what more can you ask for? you have the elite exotics that weigh almost nothing that barely reach or dont even do those #'s
everything about the GTR works together to make it what it is.... no one who owns the car or is truely interested in buying one says yea those #'s are really good but im gonna pass on it because its a few hundred pounds to heavy.. its weight is just something thats easy for detractors to take a shot at..... even put in its worst environment a very tight autocross course.. the car does feel big compared to the s2000's or something like that but the actual weight still doesnt really come into play...
it is what it is.... and weight will be the last thing that determines how long it lasts... the over 90K price tag will be the decider
