My friend loves his GTR and he was terrified of my Corvette because of how unpredictable it was which was the very reason I loved the vette. Nissan made the GTR very predictable which makes it very consistent and every racer loves to be able to count on their car to put up a good lap time, every time and for that they built a track legend.

I re-read my post and it seemed like I was directed to you. didn't mean to.

So quick to assume! I've driven a handful of GTR's thank you very much. It's an impressive car no doubt, but not my preference.

It's a boat, there's no way around it. I owned my fully modded 2012 Camaro 2SS for less than 3 months and had to get rid of it because it's just too damn big and heavy.

*However, the Skylines prior to the R35 are tons of fun to drive. Most of the torque is directed to the rear wheels, and it's a much lighter chassis.

lol. I knew it when I typed that that you would have driven it.
I agree it is a very large and heavy car. but if they want to make it 3000 lbs, the price will be way higher.
it's a affordable super car that a lot of people can afford. with that there will be some sacrifices. but the numbers it's putting out, there's no denying its a beast.
I bet you would rather own a stock gtr rather than a fully loaded camaro.

BUT, to each their own right? after all it's a car forum and everyone has their own opinions.

Wow! For a car superbly balanced and light but a bit underpowered @ 200hp.
It really Kicked Ass And Outperformed cars With More Power And That Cost More! Very Impressed!

They Need To Do A Dry Lap with Sticky Tires And It Will definitely go up the List Higher.
