(as Nissan kept saying it was), it still performs better than cars that cost $200k or even $300k. It accelerates almost as hard as the million-dollar-plus F1 and Veyron, despite not having the same top end. (But who really goes 240+mph anyway?) If you have $100k to drop on a performance car, this is the one to buy.
I love elitists who aren't really elite in any way... they amuse me greatly.
