coming from someone who has owned 4 different german cars and nothing else, american cars are legit. american car companies are some of the only ones out there still making sports cars that arent completely watered down and numb. not many car companies still make true sports cars, but the americans still are. the corvette is legit as fuck. they are simple, built like a tank, handle extremely well, very well balanced, etc... better than sooo many european cars costing more than twice as much.
and dont even try comparing the GTR to a real sports car, its a joke, its for people who are willing to spend 80 grand on a car but not willing to learn how to drive. ive driven one, and i was able to drive it very fast. and it takes no driver involvement, its like playing a video game. and the STI and EVO? they used to be legit, but now they are just a mistake, numb, and boring.
and the top gear guys love american cars. not that their opinions are always that good...
