| Calling these machines vehicles is an understatement, more like automotive perfection. The best from Germany, the silent and sneaky killer vs. the big powerful and loud Godzilla from Japan.

| Wow, not bad! You should be a car journalist and work for Drivers Republic at that.

| Those are some nice shots. I'll tell you one thing. It's GREAT how everyone is trying their best to discredit the GT-R but they always do it by comparing it to a car it was not meant to go against...LOL. Nissan designed this car with Turbo in mind yet EVERYONE has been comparing it to GT2 or GT3. LOL....I think they are accidentally giving credit to the GT-R by comparing it to something it wasn't designed to go up against.

| It is compared to those cars because it is closer to them in terms of performance.

| Well Nissan has proved itself very versatile at that. I mean it can take any car from the Porsche lineup and not be afraid to dance with it and keep it's modest composure. We've seen it put against the Carrera, Carrera S, GT3 Mk1, GT3 Mk2, Turbo and GT2. Even against the GT2 the Nurburgring lap difference was around 7 seconds and in many corners the GT-R carried more speed than the widowmaker monster. It's been compared to the F430 & F430S, LP560, Superleggera & Regular, Viper Regular & ACR, Lotus Elise, Audi R8, Corvtte ZO6 & ZR-1, BMW M3. Overall the GT-R is quite an amazing and versatile vehicle and it can endure a lot, as long as you do not engage the transmission sport button, which voids the warranty.
