Default Old vs New GTR

I like the new GTR but the old one still looks best to me. The new is full of tech toys but for me there is nothing like a big, fast coupe.
WHich do you like best

Or new

the R34 has grown on me. the R35 will eventually grow on me, but it just seems so damn BIG.

R33 was best IMO. I had one when I was in my nothing beats speed stage.

I like R33 the most speaking of styling. But R35 would be my dream car for now.

Styling wise I'll take the R34 but I love them all. The old ones are superior when it comes to modify them. ATTESA-ETS AWD + 330 hp (R34)Twin Turbo Inline 6 + Manual Transmission= Winning Formula

Part of the allure was the exclusivity of the previous GT-Rs (limited to RHD markets) and the fact that it was based on the Skyline. Now that the GT-R and the Skyline have branched out to separate lines and completely different looks, the new R35 feels like it isn't a product of evolution, and part of the historic name prestige is lost.

The R35 is by far the best GT-R ever, but it will never match the "forbidden fruit" status of the R32-34 generations. Nor does Nissan want it to, being a global car with enormous sales potential.

R33 is the worst, handling is horrible, it's large and heavy and seems like an anomaly created on their way to creating the R34. The R32 is the best one in my opinion - with the RB26 swapped in. Haven't driven a R34 though so can't say on that.

Do not like the new one but friends tell me up close and personal it changes your mind, not convinced though.
