Looks are all subjective but you can't argue with the objective and those #'s are impressive.
With the HP continuing to rise on the muscle cars of today, you can bet that engineers have, and will continue to, debate on how to get the power to the ground and AWD resolves that quite nicely. With the reduction in weight being made by manufacturers on their new chassis who's to say that a Camaro or Mustang of the future won't have AWD?? Having owned an AWD Mazdaspeed 6 before, I'd personally be all for it ... maybe give the driver the option of disabling it if they wanted a pure RWD experience. You heard it here first ...

looks like a stretched out 370z to me..
nice car, yeah, expensive car yeah, status symbol well to some I guess. I buy American, yup I know my car is made in Canada and Mexico but my money goes into an American company, and that to me, matters most.. I will never buy an import, if the big 3 went under I would scrape together parts and rebuild an older American car. Call it foolish patriotism if you want, but I was born, raised, served this country, and I will support it until my death.. PERIOD. |

Post of the year Thank goodness some people are not running car companies Lets see what a REAL car guy has to say? When the guys from Top Gear say "I like It" "I want it" "Its the fastest car to 60 I have ever test" what is left to say? Last edited by 2ndCamaro79; 09-25-2012 at 11:25 PM. |

I feel the same way. i like the looks of a zo6 or zr1 WAY more. the GTR is just a really good performer. i do look better in person though.

I like the GT-R just do not have 100k, but if I did owning one would be fun.

You can't argue with the GT-R's performance... but I still rather have an old R32 skyline. Then again, I don't need to have the fastest thing on the road. Someone's always going to be faster...

I just want this 'Ring lap time fad to die already...
GT-R is an awesome car, and I even like how it looks. I'm not going to trade any of my cars in on one though. I'm also pretty disappointed in how quickly the MSRP has increased since it was released. A 2008 model had a base MSRP of ~$69k, the 2013 GT-R now has a base MSRP of ~$96K. The MSRP even jumped something like $7k after the first model year in '09.

for some people, it is easier to talk crap about something they can't have than to give praise to it.
