Maybe they're thinking, "Damn, what a ugly car but let's pull this guy over anyway."
I wager it's anything BUT THE CAR, IMO.

Nothing turns on the girls out here like my SWEET mullet and champion bred pitbull in the back seat. What really gets them is when I open up the redneck convertable (T tops for all you Yankees) and let the mullet wave out the top like a victory flag! That right there my friend is how I do it.LOL

Yeah GTRs can be very fast. The RB26 has been known to make 900+RWHP with out ever having to remove the head. Should be interesting to see what kind of power Nissans new GTR will be able to make when it is released here next year.

I hope they REALLY TWEAK it more before it's released.
As it stands now, either way, it's the hottest Japanese GT right now, outclassing the others BY FAR... I've always been a big fan of all the GT-R's.

I've seen a few skylines down here, if you want to get really shifty, you can actually buy 'em cheap in japan, pay for shipping, and flirt the car around the DMV's and legalise it through Arkansas, Louisiana, an 'Bama.
They are still econoboxes... and they only have vastly inflated value in the grey markets. Yea, great power(and they require more work after 600whp than a ricer's idea of turn up teh b00st!), but I've seen more ratted ugly ones than clean exotic looking ones.
Skylines get "AZN" panties
F&Y-bodies get "36DD, blonde, blue-eyed" panties.
but what competition from Japan is there...? It'll take more than a great engine to get a world beater... like how about a diet?

The GT-R hands asses to nearly every American car (not the Vette)
That's a pretty cool vid! Fast *** skyline, but it does still look like a WRX more than a real sportscar.

So you have a car that only the Z06 and the Viper are faster than here for a cheap price (R32-R34). I think that's pretty damn respectable.
I don't see how anyone can say the car's just "an engine" and that's it.

The old R32 GT-R is faster than alot of AWESOME cars.
The fact that the new C6 and Viper are faster than the old GT-R's says alot about how awesome our Vette and Viper are in the twisties. It doesn't TAKE AWAY from the GT-R, it adds to them that they're even close... All these cars are badass.
And they're not all "supercars" either.
