Yeah, its pretty hard for me to see the GT-R as 'Rice' since it really is a true performance car... I agree that 'Ricers' are cars trying to LOOK like they have performance, but don't. Clapped out civics, Toyota's with 22's and spoilers, or my personal fav (which I saw this summer) a Hyundi Elantra with drop springs, a carbon splitter, a 2-element wing and an automatic transmission!

The GT-R has 480hp in base trim, and is rumoured to have 530hp in super-trim (whatever they'll call it). That's no joke right there.

And in person, it just looked all-business. No fake wing. No cheap stuff. Just all business... can wait to line up next to it! My SS has some work to do.
