FLU, what do you mean by G35/37 and IS250/350 not a track friendly car? I take my decently loaded G35 to the track several time and it handled it just fine. The Brembo brakes never fades and the handling is not bad at all. All for a price of a base 325Ci.
I totally agree with you that the GT-R is blowing away all competition in the price range at the moment. Here’s the GT-R beating the GT3 and embarrassing the M3. Part 1 Part 2
I actually love the Bangle-ized BMW. Looks much more edgy than the boring old BMW, but that’s just me.
