Although it must be an interesting and addicting driver's car with superior electronics, etc...
It does not look like an $80,000 car! More like a jacked up asian rally car. The rear end is huge and uneventful, and the only way you know it's a GTR from the front is if you are a car enthusiast.
Not to bash on godzilla, but I was not impressed.

The GTR's I see on the road have probably all just returned from the dealer with a new transmission anyway.

The GTR is a serious car, with the proper mods it can look just as good as its performance
sadly though like most high end supercars there isnt a good area for them to really unleash their potential

GT-R is an absolute MONSTER. It's an incredible value for money and the performance is unbelievable. One thing, though. The evidence is pointing towards Nissan being a little economical with the truth on their claimed 'Ring time. Even so - it's hugely impressive. But it's not the best looking car, and it is BIG.

My Ride: 2008 528i 6MT, Sport Pkg, Prem Pkg, sprint booster, ram air, BMC filter.
I prefer the new M3 like radzM550i over the GTR. I'm just at awe when I look at his recent pix. I'm thinking 12 months, I'll trade my car for an M3 sedan. Jealous.

There are prettier cars on the road but nothing generates its performance numbers for the money.

i was more impressed with the fact that it was a GTR rather then the sight itself. i saw one outside of a small sushi resturant/bar in tampa before they even came out. there were some people taking pics of it with their camera phones.
