This is a bit of a survey post. Above I have quotes from every single post YSSMAN has made in this thread, and in every one of them he mentions the GT-R. Sometimes the people voting for it are said to be fanboys, and he very obviously wants to make it clear that he doesn't want it to win. Well, each to their own. Apparently one car shouldn't get significantly more votes than the others in his opinion.
Then he goes and nominates the Corvette for the best American car. Like it isn't going to walk the poll there.
Seriously, somebody tell me why the GT-R supporters are always the ones who are called fanboys and are always on the "wrong side" by default while the Corvette supporters are called car enthusiasts and are always on the "right side" by default. There must be some deeper logic to it that I simply don't get.
I'll take one more example. I was going to test this in the American thread when the voting begins but I can as well do it here. When someone says "the GT-R sucks because it's so heavy" there's a dozen people nodding and agreeing, it's a widely accepted fact. I agree partially, the car is too heavy but it certainly doesn't suck because of it as we've seen. Then when someone says "the Corvette sucks because it can't put the power down" there's a huge uproar, the person is shouted to the corner and the dozen people shove it down the sayer's throat that the Corvette handles like a true sports car should. Again I agree partially, it has trouble putting the power down but it certainly doesn't suck because of it as we've seen.
If there's anyone interested enough in replying to this, all I ask is to put the possible nationality bias to the side for a while and keep it civil. I don't want another flame war, just one good answer why the situation is as it is. If you're going to take the "usual" Corvette vs. GT-R style, please don't press the "Submit Reply" button. 👍
