http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... a few seconds, you give in to the spectacle of driving a 2009 Nissan GT-R. This car attracts its own entourage and then takes you along for the ride. It's not just the Skyline mystique, either. It's the fact that even in production sheet metal, the R35 GT-R looks like a one-off concept stolen from a Southern California design studio. It has as many hard contours as a Porsche 911 has soft curves. You have the key fob, and still you ogle it.Soon, though, you point the GT-R down an on-ramp and plant the throttle. The effortless brutality with which the 2009 Nissan GT-R gathers speed is what you'll describe to your friends — once everyone's tired of talking about the styling, that is.What you won't tell them is that you suspect your supercar might be a sociopath. It doesn't flow around corners like your E46 BMW M3 did, nor does it transmit feedback through the steering wheel for the sheer pleasure of it.Instead, the 2009 Nissan GT-R bends asphalt to its will. When it talks to you about tire grip, you get the feeling it's only bothering because you're part of its great plan to break free of the Earth's orbit. Should it ever achieve this, you imagine that its conversation will cease and it will simply expel you into the airless void. Until then, though, you have the conn.

Another thing is the technology(electronic system) is more step ahead than the super car...They are using the grand tourismo game system on the display...

the GTR costs like 76k. the supercars cost like 200k+. GTRs to me are better because.....you dont have to be a millionaire to have one. u can actually buy it and it performs with the best of them.supercars are just for bragging, not for real racers.

still a poor excuse for a super car?yea well its still a 1.7 tonn sports car with rear seats an averaged sized engine which is underpowered for the wieght it has to pull.nd u still call it a poor excuse for a supercar that didnt even try to be one in the first place. when ppl say it can beat nethin it comes up against they mean if two average joes raced one had a GTR one had a GT. the GTR will win cause i doubt a avg. joe could push a carrera GT as hard as a GTR

i cant believe people could find a reason to hate a car that performs like the GTR......haters...

3.2 from a dead stop?! thats a bit off, with a foot of rollout that means roughly 2.9! this is obviously not the same one that they sell today!
