troll? poseur? howabout both!
So the problem is my statement of opinion rather than fact right? And your posting facts right?
Facts
AND real-life/real-time observations (unbiased, objective, and impartial).
I gave you credit for reading comprehension, which you obviously lack in.
Re-read this... (heII, you even quoted it Sherlock!)

Everything I said has a fundamental fact/basis or actuality/reality to it.
So your ubiquitous use of "opinion" has made it difficult to multi-quote & maintain context/continuity, so I'll just bullet my points...
- Modern-day
super-cars readily eclipse the 4-sec 0-60 rather rather easily. As of now, based on someone who owns one locally, the 4-sec 0-60 benchmark can't be broken w/o using launch-control (also been stated by a few publications). A generation or two ago, it'd be hellava' vehicle, but not in circa' 2009, as to be called a
super-car in terms of performance.
[how is this 'opinion'?]
- The prolific times of the GT-R by Nissan plausibly may have been due to launch-control activation as well as other machinations, as evident by Porsche's recent outing on the 'Ring w/ it, as they more than likely went by the book (sans' launch-control). A few magazines/publications have been underwhelmed by the GT-R as well, though not all.
[how is this 'opinion'?]
- If a Ferrari 355/F1 is driven as-per an enthusiast/track-car as intended/promoted by the manufacturer, the transmission
won't prematurely fail & need replacement. If it does fail, or any other major system, there's a thing known as new-owners warranty (obviously under the applicable time/mileage period).
[how is that 'opinion'?]
- Yes, earlier 355 models have long-term maint' issues in terms of dependability/reliability. But these are far from catastrophic transmission failures, particularly during the warranty period. And the expensive serv'/maint' is attributable to
hours-by-the-book, not by ownership prestige.
[how is this 'opinion'?]
- Past
brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish'es had preventive reprogramming of the transmission after delivery & even sales, all done under warranty.
Zero cost to owner. Ditto for any failed transmissions attributed to the faulty controlling.
[how is this 'opinion'?]
- There is no scheduled maint'/service at any interval for a late-model Aston Martin costing $10k at any point in time during ownership, let alone the first year. And obviously any catastrophic failure of system/component would be covered under
warranty during the applicable time period.
how is this 'opinion'?]
- The GT-R's prematurely failed transmissions aren't under the guise of the manufacturer's warranty, if the vehicle was driven as it was advertised to be (based on performance times).

And while were at it, I don't own an Aston, but do you?
Yes. And so does my family, and another in my extended family.

People are laughing at you, so stop posting. On this thread, that is.
I obviously touched a nerve, which I apologize if I did. That was never my intent nor desire. It's not you personally that I'm nor others are affront to. It's your words, ideas, and conclusions.
I don't tolerate B.S. & ludicrous stuff in life, nor on my/our dreamy
NSX Prime. I'm a straight shooter who lives w/o hyperbole. I wish to for 'Prime to remain that way, as it always was a fair/intelligent/mature site w/o garbage.
That's the thing about so-called loyal/devout 'Prime members. They are now w/o assertiveness, gall, fortitude, in that they don't comment/post/critique others. Yet they all instead wish for a return to when 'Prime was this/that (analogous to how the Roman populace & more importantly the Senators in '
Gladiator' wanted Rome to return to being a Republic- yet they loved war/mayhem/blood, as well as lacking the cajones to take charge, seize the moment, etc'); they all wish the low-life's weren't around, the different/lower demographic trolls/poseurs were non-existent, and so forth. And instead they let a single individual or a few at most take the initiative, task, and action to take charge. People fail to realize that a community, niche' of owners, a coterie of like-minded enthusiasts, and so forth is only as good as the active/participating members.
Then, these people applaud/adulate that individual or few others who decided to take charge, when face-to-face at gatherings/meets, via IM's, pm's/email's, and so forth. And that's what's what happening now, and will continue. If those individuals permit me to bring them to 'light, so to speak, I shall.
Would that lessen your embarrassment or bring credence/closure to your illogical, glittering-generalities, and such?
I'm not a mind-reader, so I don't know. Though I am aware that this day & age, keyboard jockeys behind a screen don't like to be told when they're wrong or critiqued/criticized. That's what's the most troubling w/ present times, the inability for one to accept accountability or take ownership of their words, thoughts, ideas, when incorrect, mis-factual, and just plain asinine.
If there is more to be said, it'll be via
pm, as I'm sure the 'Prime audience has had enough & can frankly care less.
Also, no more pm's people, please. I don't need cheerleaders nor am I Prime's resident watch/guard-dog!
(however, you seem the type to not let things go & have to have the last word, so I anticipate another nonsensical, trivial/elementary post on-par w/ someone in jr-high... not my words, but someone else's on 'Prime; so prove me wrong, please)
With that said...
I say good-day, sir. I said good-day!
