Sci you said this "The GTR is real nice, but IMHO its an overhyped car that in real life can really dissapoint in its performance in factory trim." which is factual although can be disputed..but you also forget to add this to your statement at the end....
UNTIL NOW....because this is ALL factory trim ..the 2009 model that is

Well i mean against the cars its competing, they just got faster. The new GTR is in an all new league right now, stepping up its game. In the sub $100,000 car range, it beat out the ZO6 which was the reighning king of cheap supercars. But chevy already responded with the ZR-1

considering the ZO6 is only ~3 seconds off the GTRs pace around the Nurburgring....I wouldn't be soo quick to make that judgement.

The GTR is .1 seconds faster than the test model Carrera Turbo, which got revised in response. Dropped some weight and added 10 more HP

Sci stop being a hater. The R32 and R34 were the best cars of their generation hands down, there is NO arguing that so don't even try. Don't even bring up Evo and STi because although they are nice cars they are a level below the GTR.
