    It's a ringer.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    That defeats the purpose of the Fanboydom.

    Porsche and the other proper supercar makers havent commented on it

    638hp, 605lbft and 3350lbs = comparable with other cars with the same time
    FXX and Enzo brakes = stops as well as other cars
    huge ACR like tires and MSRC = great handling


    The GTR on the other hand has 480hp, useless torque, dodgy transmission, 3900lbs and is a brick......yet as fast as an Enzo, Zonda and the ZR1? lol at Nissan.

    The only problem with identifying your opposite as a fanboy who will believe anything their immortal manufacturers vehicle does is that, in the interests of balance, fairness, and in this case honesty, you end up being the other end of that sliding scale.

    So essentially, you are, in fact, as bad as you claim your enemy is.

    Trouble is, you are the only known constant in this equation.
