At the end of the day, it's *nice* to know where the technical strengths and weaknesses are in the SR and wider nissan family BUT I love and squeeze Nissan no matter what (and I mean, no matter what!)
While it's certainly good and admirable to be truly passionate about something, being loyal to it "no matter what" is called blind faith and can be considered fanaticism. That is saying that you'll follow no matter what, even if the company puts out inferior products..you'll put money in their pocket..encouraging them not to progress. This is the same mentality that has kept GM on top..because so many people blindly put faith in their products even if 90% of them have been pure trash for the past 35 or so years.
I'm trying not to go off on a rant and maybe this has gotten borderline technical for some people (this was like a normal-esque topic in the forum few years ago) but at least learn the strong points of your opponents, it's like playing defense in sports...if you don't know your opponents weak and strong points, how are you going to beat them?

Like I said, I rev it to redline A LOT. If you've never had experience with the Honda motors I mentioned, everything will be fine and dandy in your little world
and you will not realize how much better it can be...I guess like they say..ignorance is bliss (not calling you ignorant, btw).
