Default Nissan GT-R Stigma/Attitude?

Hey guys, this isn't to start anything at all, more of a neutral discussion as to why people who are fan boys for GT-R's or actually own a stock GT-R are so arrogant about their car and line of cars, excluding those who are able to see both sides of an argument though.

I often go on youtube a lot, and enjoy watching car races and drags and such, and whenever there is a GT-R racing, there is always 10 upon 10's of GT-R fan boys, and I don't use that term as an insult I just see it fit, that either do one of two things, if the car wins it's "No car beats a GT-R" especially in a drag race this is said, but if the GT-R loses, all hell breaks lose, insults and excuses are thrown all over the place like a food fight, now I love the new GT-R R35... I think it's awesome, but I love most cars, and because of this I generally do a reasonable amount of research into them, and often when I put down valid statements, all these fans can do is throw their one sided opinions at me without being one of two things, knowledgeable about the opposing car to the GT-R, or many other cars for that fact, or without knowing about how the car got to that performance, and the differences in the cars as to why the GT-R won.

Take this one video on Youtube for example of a Bugatti vs'ing a GT-R, its not a drag race but rather a drag time, and the Bugatti end up winning it but because of reaction time the GT-R would have won if it was a drag race, I simply stated the obvious which was, the GT-R has no airbags, no aircon, one seat, no dash and is basically full racing spec and likely not street legal, but not one of them can actually see my point?

I mean I have had mates that are mechanics and own GT-R's and are able to understand the differences which is where I'm coming from with being knowledgeable about more then just the GT-R

Anyway that's my rant, I just can't understand how people can be so extremely one eyed and uneducated about other cars to the point they think they are able to place down good valid points.
