That was a fair review by Joe, but I have to wonder if hes going to get the same grief as Dave T. did on his statments on the S2000 hehe.
Anyhow, there is definitely something to be said for the fun that is had with a car like the Mclaren F1 that can't necessarily be had with a very adept car like the GTR. Thats nothing against the GTR by any means, its just different. This I guess can be attributed to technological advancements. For example if you gave a Nascar driver a choice of cars to drive between the new C.O.T.(car of tomorrow) and an old stipped down moonshine runner on a dirt track. Im pretty sure we would see a whole lot of dust flying around rather quickly.
Anyhow, Im still geeking out over the whole Gran Turismo designed display. Now everytime I hop in my car im just going to look at my normal gauges with such disdain.
