It's just under £60 K for 500+ BHP and 0-60 in significantly sub 4 seconds. You have to get a £105K GT3RS to get a 911 that's even close, £108K for a slightly slower R8 V10, and £170K of DBS isn't as fast, never mind the Vantage. Not only that, but the GT-R is a functional four seater (as long as the back two are teenagers at most!) with room for two bags of golf clubs in the boot - try that in a GT3RS.
I quite agree with you about the LFA - if ONLY it was as competitive (read "trumps") vs the European alternatives as the GT-R is, it might be worth paying £300K for. However, when you can get a 599 GTO for the same price, forget it.
But don't lump the GT-R in the same bracket - it'll match any of your big boys at twice the price, and leave anything else that costs £60K in the dust...

I don't care about the reviews.
I am talking about buying one and owning one.
The fact is, in the real world you are never going to be going flat out everywhere.
What I am saying is that, although the GT-R is a faster a sports car, it's never going to be as "special" or sought after as a Ferrari.
Buying a car and liking certain cars over others is not all determined by numbers and statistics!!
360 Spider understands what I am saying
The Nissan GT-R is such a geeky car in my opinion, no real passion, it's just all figures etc.
Saying to someone, "oh I own a Nissan" is so uncool compared to saying "I own a Ferrari"
