a) Very expensive to drive, maintain, and insure
b) Not very traffic friendly
c) No room for anything
d) Not very comfortable
All of which makes then not a practical daily driver
3) You will need a second car as a DD ... increasing auto cost even more
4) Most of the cars in that video did not meet my previously listed criteria and will never be driven daily ... too afraid to get them dirty or will leave them stranded and penniless
5) Most of those cars cost well over 6 figures ...
6) Who wants to drive another porsche ... done to death around here ... not at all exotic
7) Who wants to drive a mustang ... yuckkkk ... I would have rather rode my bike
8) I will give you the GTR ... and I even test drove one ... but they are just so ugly
9) Cars are not just HP and drag racing in a straight lines ... have the above test ... and add turns ... then see what happens.
10) This car will still smoke 9 out of 10 cars on the road today ... and can be modded if so desired ... not for me though
In the end I wanted a DD that could be reliable (think toyota), had room, could be driven in traffic, did not cost a arm to keep ... and was rare and exotic.
I challenge you to find a better car for less than 60k!

like I said, the video was just for example and doesn't prove anything. you say the FRS didn't meet your many listed criteria but your first post was just speed and only speed. That is why I'm so 'da fuq?' on your choice. i'm not bashing the car or the fact that you own it. i'm just awe struck at your reasoning. and the car was 80k not 60k as you got 22k back in trade. so your budget would realistically be 80-85k at which point I believe you made a mistake in your purchase if you just went for 'faster than my old car' but made a good choice if you just based your purchase on 'I love lotus and that car makes me cum'
