Nissan is pretty good at it, too. The twin turbo GTR destroys all of Ferrari's best offerings and costs 2.5-10x less while doing so. It's interesting that the author implies that only naturally aspirated engines give you the precise control you need in cornering when a 3.8L V6 with two enormous turbos strapped to it handily beats almost every other road-legal, non-gokart, NA-engine'd car except the Aventador... for only $100,000 brand new.

A tuned GTR easily beats the Aventador, though, for a fraction of the price.
