What is my defination of eNanny? For me, its any car without a Clutch and a Manual, like an entry level Aveo with no eletric windows...
where you push in the clutch with your foot, and shift the gear yourself...
Traction control does not count.. becouse, some power just has to be controlled.
Now the GT-R has a Super eNanny. That eNanny, just forces you to sit there and do nothing...

By the way, I came up with the Word eNanny Myself. So, it means what I say it means. You cannot dispute my defination.

Re: EVO magazine: Z06 faster than GTR

Clearly, the C6 is not a driver's car. After all, it has the "active handling" nanny. What a joke! The thing drives itself. No driver input needed at all. Yawn.

C6 is a nannymobile.

OK. Now that I fully understand your definition I can continue with another question.

Which eNanny do you speak of in the GT-R? Is it the transmission?

All the advanced software transmission , buttons...etc... that combined reduces the driver into an observer... .. Making the car perform well, with the driver just pressing the gas brake and steering the wheels.....

Remember this car just goes.. it does not need you to go.. it will go with anyone...
The eNanny reduces it into a Drivers Wii..
Its a great car, do not get me wrong.. but its way too Nitendo wii etc for any true driving enthusiast who does not work at il.. a True driver would take a manual C6 over it

Wow I missed this part some how. Nice ninja edit I didn't even see it.

So if I understand you correctly the term eNanny is YOUR term that you created and it means what YOU say it does based on YOUR narrow definition. And I do not have the freedom to dispute it...

OK. I got it.

So no modern Ferrari is a driver's car?

Re: EVO magazine: Z06 faster than GTR

Just so you know (mbukwhatever), the GTR without the "enanny" is still one of the more balanced cars out there. Since your obvious haterd for anything Japanese blinds you.

My defination is not "Narrow"

RSX, by the way, I recently creamed one RSX rides with my 2.4 LT HHR.. he he, you have not seen a guy feel soo embarrassed..... we were doing something like 60 miles an hour and we gunned it.. he he... The Acura lacks TQ

The GT-R eNanny, when not engaged, would not produce the 0-60 #'s it produces...
I do not like Japanese cars, true.. But I do not hate em either. Why waste my energy on something as tendious as hating something I do not like?

Re: EVO magazine: Z06 faster than GTR

Uh! This aint about the RSX or the HHR dude. So I guess you're trying to get a rise from me. I really don't care if you blew the doors of an RSX or whatever asian brand you claim.

I didn't mean straight line numbers when I said "balanced" . True, it will not be as fast but it is still a fantastic car that any true car enthusiast would like to own.

My dream garage would place the Z06 next to a GTR and a CTS-V next to an Integra Type R et al.

Sooo.......an entry-level Aveo is a true driver's car but the GT-R is not?

Have you driven both cars?
