Go Nissan GTR! 3rd place but considering the weight, lower on power, and the pricetag, it's a performance and modifying platform bargain.

I'm in.

The looks are subjective so it's alright.

The car performs amazing for the price so it's awesome for a person like me not too long from now. The technology, the way it drives, and the acceleration are meant only for car enthusiasts. Not exactly a status symbol. Modifying platform is also huge.

I like it a lot.

It's for Motortrends' overall best driver's car. Not the fastest or quickest on the track.

This is one of the tests for comparison for all the contenders. Clearly the Subaru isn't exactly fast compared to the rest. In fact, my GL450 comes very close to it...

Better traction, the Mustang would have made top 3 and the exhaust note is wicked.

Good to know that my 99 E55 isn't very far behind all these monsters. Not bad for a 13 year old car.
