Then get out and pick up the broken pieces and cry a little on the inside.

Yep. It should be easy to find them since you won't be getting any traction to move anyway.

Real cars also have interiors that are more of an after-thought than well thought out designs. 😉

Truth. If I want luxury I'll buy a condo. My vehicle will have no compromises.

As long as it has a steering wheel, three pedals, a tach, and a shifter, and I can reach them all with minimal effort, the interior is designed properly. I don't need/want a mobile home theater system in my car, the one I have in the house will always be infinitely better anyway.

Make it a performance car first and foremost, then throw some shit on it like a plastic cup holder and make it passable for a street car.

Dude, the Lotus Elise is the perfect car for you! 😉
 
Its funny how gm advertises all this racing tech yet the warranty manual clearly states if you abuse the car in any way, your warranty work wont be covered due to abuse of the car.

That's what I tell people is the reason why I bought my car but oh well they don't get it.

I know a certain manufacturer that has launch control on all their cars that aren't for pussies according to you 😛


I know, I'm bringing lotus into yet another thread... but I had to on this one. I won't do it anymore, I promise. 😉

Traction control is optional on the Elise. 😉

By your logic, the Lotus isn't a real car, because that interior is absolute crap.

I'll take the GT-R over the Corvette any day. I need the daily driving drivability. Otherwise, I'd be forced to buy another car and the Corvette would just be sitting there collecting dust. Plus I wouldn't be able to drive the Corvette in the winter.

They weren't.

Corvette wasn't produced by the performance division.

what does every day drivability have to do with being a good driver? 4WD > 2WD every second of your life in the winter snow.

the gtr is also larger than the corvette and can seat more + hold more = better every day drivability

 
If you can't drive a Corvette in the rain or cold weather, you're a crappy driver. If you use a Z06 or better or GTR as a daily driver in the winter in the snow belt, you're simply an idiot. If you can afford an $80k car, you can afford to have a beater with more than 4 inches of ground clearance for heavy snow days.

Comparing the usability of $80k sports car (storage capacity, worthless rear seats unless your family consists of amputee midgets, etc), is as stupid as comparing the offroad capabilities of luxury SUV's. No one is going to be hauling lumber in either of these cars, so if you can squeeze some groceries in the trunk, which both cars can, it's a draw.

Edit:
Looking at Nissan's website, they only list interior dimensions for the front seats, which should tell you what they think of the rear ones.

Cargo space?

With seats in place:

GT-R: 8.8 cu/ft
Corvette: 22.4 cu/ft

Yea, definite usability advantage to the GT-R for holding more stuff than the Corvette... I take it you didn't actually look that up before spouting off about how great everything else is compared to anything the US builds.
