i wish nissan would enter into some porsche, vette,and viper races so we could see how it would fare against them.
When I referred to "class" I was speaking in street trim. Professional racing is so fucked up with the way rules are changed for the sake of competition.

No it doesn't have a Skyline badge. It is a GTR, but not a skyline. The GTR is a completely different car now instead of a beefed up and tricked out version of a skyline sedan....

it's still a bad ass car even though it's too big and ugly....Think of how much faster it would have been if it weighed a few hundred lbs less and wasn't so damn big.

Well they had to make it big enough for the fat Americans. I mean they even gave us 2 inch wider seats, how thoughtful.

Maybe they thought people would confuse them for crossovers and pick them up...

my point exactly...... if they were smarter and put this power plant into a 2500 pound car then it would be a beast.

Uhh its a bit faster than the current Z06, which means its faster than the viper.

What class do you want to put it in? Ignorant fanboy.
