Vance I think it would make a great daily driver.... But it's not the most practical for that. I considered getting one as a daily. It's lack of attention grabbing looks is a plus where that is concerned. Jason has a perfect combo. A 360 as the weekend car, a GTR as a daily.
Dave,
I do love the GTR, fantastic sporty daily driver. There are plenty of NSX, Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche owners with GTRs. There are obviously reasons for that.
My GTR doesn't even have a tune, just mid-pipe, bone stock everything else. The power is more than plenty. Tons of low end torque even off idle and mid range torque. Just add a Cobb Accessport with TCM (LC4 or LC5). It be a different car that can do 0~60mph under 2.7sec for just $1.2k. I have not done it yet despite the low cost only because that additional performance I will probably never use it. For me launch control is just for show, it never needs it even lining up against 99% of other cars, maybe at drap strip where I can see launch control be useful.
GTR is practical, I drive it everywhere. In fact I even daily drove 360 for almost 2 years before getting GTR. The 360 were bullet proof. I put on more miles in 360 than I did in 7+ years of ownership of NSX. I put on 14k miles in 360 just last year alone.
I really missed that tight feeling of the NSX's cabin and driving position. Both GTR and 360 fell short in this aspect.
Thanks BBoxer(Tino)'s insight and feed back from his experience at Southcoast Acura NSX meets, I decided to ditched the 360 and picked up a like new low mileage 6spd gated manual Lamborghini Gallardo with tubi exhaust and clear bra. Pardon my iphone pic.
Gallardo has that jetfighter cabin just like NSX. Never been inside a car felt more solid than this, there is reason why turbo gallardo are so popular, the chasis can take it. The exhaust note and shifter is just amazing, better than that of 360 or even F430. It is a good combination with GTR.
