I think mainly tho the bashing of it here comes from the voiding of your warranty if you used the launch feature that was put in the car by Nissan. Now that its being removed I doubt it would even get the tie that it had in the 0-60 shoot out. For all the hype its not that great of a car.
I think that part of the reason it doesn't look that great is that the Corvette ZR1 really outperforms its price bracket. By keeping up with cars double its value, the ZR1 really makes it hard to make a car close to its price seem appropriate by comparison. The GT-R is a good deal for the money, but it just isn't that great when Nissan advertises it as being an alternative to some of the top-tier cars out there. It's still a good car, but it's not on the same level as cars it was designed to beat, probably because it turns out to not beat them.
