Default Nissan Skyline Gtr Beating The Crap Out Of All Supercars

GODZILLA is back and kicking some ***. In every article in every magazine in the states and europe that compares the GTR to the likes of the ZO6, 911 turbo, and even the ezo. The car will destroy the 911 and the zo6 on the tarck and will even slalom at higher speeds than the Enzo Ferrari. Damn that makes me happy. I have always been a japanese car fan. But there was nothing that could come close to the performance of the new GTR. The NSX was quick bec it was feather lite, but had no real grunt. Nissan has brought GODZILLA to the states finally and I am enjoying the show. Very few cars in my life time were anticipated like this monster. I remeber seeing the R34 and R33 and battle of th imports in cali when I was a kid. And it effectively destroyed every car that came along, and I aleways wondered why nissanm didnt bring it to the states. In fact I think they only sold the GTR in Japan and australia. (not sure about the UK.) most everyone else had to import them at high cost. DAMN I am happy the true beast from the east has arrived and is showing the world what the japanese can do. This car like the NSX in the early 90's will change the way the world produces sports cars, and will raise the bar on every real sports car out there. The japanese just do it better for less and its reliable.

I agree with you, however just one problem: The piece of paper stuck to the window of the LF-A in the showroom is going to show my bank account who is daddy...

I totally agree and have the same feeling as you. I always love Japanaese cars more than any other country's cars, including German and Italian. Right now the cockiness of those German, especially from BMW owners, could be suppressed. I frequently hear "That Infiniti G35 is a nice car, but it is not a BMW". Now I could rephrase it as "M3 is a nice car, the best from BMW, but it is not a GT-R".

This probably explains the new trend in my city to rebadge G35's as Skylines -.-"

The GT-R is just that...the Nissan GT-R. It shares no ties with the skyline name. The G35 is the nissan skyline 350/370GT.

I rather see them rebadged as Skylines, as Hypnotik said, that is what they are.

There are some with GT-R badges and they are NOT GT-Rs....

Exactly. I've seen quite a few mustangs with GT-R badges...also sentras. Hopefully when the GT-R comes around, they feel some kind of shame in putting the badge on their cars
