I like what nissan has done with the GTR but I'd choose a r34 anyday over the r35. The one thing that bugs me is the GTR here is considered a super car but I just can't justify the GTR as a super car with a v6. I wish the actual exterior design was different as some of the lines of the GTR does not do it for me but the performance of this car has really got my attention.

The F360 Modena (one of the prettiest cars on the planet, in my opinion) looks like a 100K car. A 1999 Ferrari F355 Spyder looks and sounds like a 100K car. The Porsche GT3/GT3RS looks like a 100K car. The GT-R just does not have that same special something that makes you think 100K car.
That being said, the performance is clearly that of a 100K car and that is were the personal dilemma begins for me. I can appreciate what is can do, but really and not wow'd by how it looks while doing it. For 100K, I want it to stir my soul as well as my human senses. I want to look in the garage and still be anxious to take her out for a spin.
Let me put this in terms that most males can understand:
F360 = Geisha
Porsche GT3 = **** Star
F355 = Kissing *****
GT-R = That psycho chick that gives the best BJ you ever had...but you really don't want to be seen with her. When you get right down to it, she is really just a booty call with whom you would much rather have the lights out.
Just my

I would hope a $300K Ferrari looks like ATLEAST a $100K car.
I'm talking about new prices, with mark up, since that is the real world we live in, comparing used Ferrari's to a New GT-R is not the same.

My other car is well over $70K, and my brake jobs are free

alot of the 350z here have over 500 to 600whp.
in my opinion I still think the looks of the 350z is still better than a GTR...

that reminds me of the shelby mustangs I saw at Huntington Long Beach last year.
sticker price of 45-50k depending on options, with +30k markup totalling 80k. Said it straight up on the window.

Another Gunmetal one is on the way towards the end of the month and there's at least one white one right behind it
