Keep in mind my BRZ is modded and while the r34-gtr are fun as hell, I live in a place called Quebec, Canada and our roads are complete shit (pothole ridden, salt eaten, small rocks/sand etc) so there aren't a ton of places to let out something like a gtr to its full potential or to start throwing a big heavy(long and wide) monster sideways.


Given the proper conditions all the time then yes a GTR may be more fun, but in dealing with everyday life and geographical and infrastructure limitations, the brz (especially modded) is as fun if not more fun than most cars I listed in my last post (to me at least)


It may be the price too that influences my fun factor, when I drove my buddy's R34 (it was fun)but I always kept a bit of reserve driving the car seeing as crashing it would result in a hefty build and a lot of time and money searching for parts. I jumped a curb with my brz a week ago and it's in the shop atm and although it was unpleasant, I haven't really been down about it, had the car been a GTR or a brand new cayman or vette, I would probably still be sobbing uncontrollably. so that may have something to do with enjoyment factor, the fact that a mistake/accident will not cause me to have to remortgage my house for car repairs
