Kinda moot, actually, considering his ride would smoke your car in any type of competition.

4k pounds...what a fat pig.

We should look at the nut swingers in this thread and see how many of them have commented on other offerings that in that weight range on the market.

Wow...I think a lot of things about the GT-R, but "ugly" isn't one of them. It's a very aggressive looking machine. I'm suprised so many 350z owners don't like it...

I know it's tough to stick by what you love when you see things like this, but don't lose faith my friend. Porsche is still king of the hill...they were just never in the business of building performance bargains.

I can see that for G35 owners and them liking the GTR, but Z owners like the sleek smooth look, which is quite different from the bulky, wide, disjointed look the GTR has

I love the car for the fact that it's Nissan moving into a new market in the states and hopefully opening doors to things we've missed in the past. With that said it's ugly. I've seen worse, but it's not even close to what I'd call an attractive car. How does that make me a hater?
