The GT-R seems to somehow make physics optional and is a great example of a heavy, yet fast, car.

I'm not so sure about the other two. One of our national-competitor drivers just bought a Z28 and brought it to this past weekend's event.

He was about 0.7 seconds behind a stock-class BRZ and about 1.3 seconds faster than a stock-class Mini. (this was on an 80-second course) He could get faster with some more familiarity with the car, but he's a good driver and I'm sure he got in the ball-park of the car's abilities within a run or two.

Don't get me wrong, I like the car. Parked in staging, it looked like it was going to take other cars' lunch money, and the poor little Mini, that was parked to its right, looked like something the Z28 had just shat out.

It's a great looking car with a ton of power.

I just don't think I could pull the trigger on a car that expensive when it can't really "dance".
