Personally this doesn't matter to me. It's quick and it looks like ass and it's an import so nothing influences my opinion either way I'd still never hit it. ;)  BUT apparently Porshce is saying they tested one themselves and can't come within 25 seconds of Nissan's time on the 'ring.

The R35 is waaaaaaay too bulky.  It dwarfs the old skylines.  I'd take an R32 any day of the week though.

I wouldn't hate on the VQ in any way shape or form. Especially a twin turbo VQ (why no turbo love for the Z?). I do, however, think that any car, a super high performance car to boot, that needs its transmission replaced after only 15 launches ON AVERAGE is a POS. (Nissan tells new owners to not expect the transmission to last any longer than 15 launches using the launch control FEATURE) I also hate a car with a black box that will void your warranty if you use the car AS INTENDED! If it had a blue oval or bowtie on it, it would be a world class POS, but no, it's just a car made for only those who can afford to fix it (I guess Nissan hasn't ever heard of BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Lotus, blah, blah, blah).

I officially do not like this car.

HOLY  I totally forgot about that! Yeah if you use a FEATURE of the car as it was intended bye-bye to your warranty. Sweet!

The GT-R is probably the best/fastest car you can get in that price range hands down. I mean fastest from 0-60 and around the track.
Also, Every GT-R engine is handmade so horsepower levels vary by about 20-30 HP. I would love to have one, Nissan did a great job!

It's been speculated that the press cars given to car magazines have been "ringers"

Wouldn't be the first time something of that nature has happened...
