Message	...and it sucks even more at stopping and turning, and Dave will likely walk away even more disappointed after driving one on a roadcourse than he thought he was with the GTR. Not sure why this is so hard to grasp, apart from the fact that you have yet to try a roadcourse in a car designed for it. You are missing out big time. It is fun as shit even in a GTR, then you get into a Porsche and it gets even better. As your experience and skill rise, you will notice the shortcomings of each design more and more not just talking GTR vs whatever here....but generally speaking. There is a reason you dont see GTR's used much at all in GT class racing....but they are all over youtube roll racing and pro/am drag racing "I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure deep inside my heart...." --William Patrick Corgan
