The only thing he saw was this.
He is completely delusional. His comments come from nowhere and lead to nowhere...and are usually about him.
Not to mention he doesn't know anything about me and is making a lot of assumptions.
I am at the track as much as possible. The Rossion has a built-in cage. I have seen its safety structure. It is probably even safer than the R8 in a high speed crash. The safety system is a race system, not a street system. It doesn't matter that an R8 has more airbags, race cars have none. I wouldn't say they are less safe.
The Rossion is a more difficult but more rewarding car to drive at a racetrack. I like that. When I drove a GTR, it was way too automated for me. Fast but boring. Not enough involvement from the driver. I know of 2 instructors for schools that own Nobles and it is an incredibly fast car on the track, the Rossion is just a better version of the M400 with many upgrades. This is an outstanding car, I don't care if it is made by a small company. So what? camry's are made by an even bigger company. Doesn't make it a better car.
Ashman I have driven an R8, I haven't driven a Rossion. The car isn't for everybody, but that is the kind of car I like. Yes, the R8 is the new NSX. Comfy, spectacular interior, I loved it. LOVED IT. But I don't find its looks all that exciting. It is a car you can drive everyday comfortably. Not the least bit harsh and a lot more refined than the GTR. But my NSX was too tame for me stock, and I had to make it more hardcore.
Both cars are similarly priced when optioned properly. There is no savings with the Rossion.
I am just in the preliminary stages anyway. I am prefectly happy with my NSX right now. I am going to try and drive the Rossion and see if it is as exciting as they seem on the track. The rossion is not the best daily driver. The R8 can easily be. I've seen bad drivers drive the R8 around Monticello fast. The car does it all. Just floor the pedal, steer, let it do its thing. Like the GTR. Driver involvement is dissapearing due to technology. An Audi has to appeal to a broad group of people. Rossion is not concerned with a guy's wife driving the car to the grocery store. Audi wants those clients. I like cars that let me do more and do less themselves. That is why I am seriously considering the Rossion. I guess I need to drive one. I won't do anything for at least a year anyway.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
