Anyone who says driving a GT-R is like driving a PS3 must have a badass PS3. My PlayStation never once pushed me into the back of my couch and made me stutter through a string of expletives. My best friend, and former roommate, owns an original 2009, before the power and transmission upgrades, and it's a beautiful machine to drive.
Comparing any Chevy to the GT-R is impossible, given the different power plant and drive set-ups. I Iove my SS, and that's why I bought it. But I bought it knowing it was rear-wheel drive, and not AWD, and I don't pretend any different. From a standing start, my buddies GT-R takes me every time. But in a rolling start, once we're in third gear and I can grip the road, we're dead even (thanks to a fully forged 418ci LS3). And he has respect for my car because of the sound, smell, and I've never seen a V6 make a car rock back and forth at idle, no matter how many turbos it has.
I love my Chevy, because it's mine. I respect the GT-R because it's a performer, and full of astounding engineering. Nissan underrated it so it would impress, fanboys will always be fanboys, and life will go on.
