If you want a tuner car, buy a tuner car.
I dunno you guys, I read that GTR forum thread and the owner whose motor blew up apparently likes to race people on his daily commute and hits 160mph on public roads all the time? O_O I guess 700hp is useful for doing that.

Sadly, I think he's getting a new engine and putting a stronger bottom end in...180mph everyday on the highway now? D: I think I don't live in his state, but to people who do, best of luck.

Lol it's no different then Germany....

Anyone who lived there (like I) knows that on a nice day, even if the highway is semi crowded your GOING to be passed at 250km/h+ by some business man in a BMW, Audi or Benz, a wanna be Schumacher in a Porsche, a guy on GSX-R trying to do mach 3 runs.... or a demonically tuned GTi or Alfa trying to catch the formers that just blew buy you 10 seconds ago

.....multiple times that day

It is different for exactly the reason you suggested. Because people here are NOT expecting to be overtaken at a high rate of speed.
