    I can hear the Porsche owners shrinkage from here..


    You can hate, talk trash, and whatever else, if you claim at all to be any sort of motoring enthusiast.. (and not just some come lately fan boy because you bought a cool car) then 'Godzilla' should at least warrant a slight bit of appreciation.

    Man was I fiending for a GT-R post. I don't know how I made it for this long.


    The Nissan GT-R: The performance car you are contractually obligated to drive like a Camry, because although it can do a lot of great things, we can't allow you to do them.

    Where are the rest of the Tokyo Raisins?

    So is it a purple people eater?


    /even older pop culture/sports reference


    But seriously: "a more powerful feeling of acceleration" --I'd rather have more powerful acceleration. Wouldn't I be able to feel that? Is this some kind of gimmick? In a car that costs this much? Do the speakers play a "whoosh!" sound?

    I like the GT-R, let me get that out right away, but this is just stupidly overpriced.


    This is for the collectors, few, if any, of these will actually be driven in anger, and I'm sure some will never be driven at all. The people actually looking for performance will buy the "base" GT-R and then tune it.


    When you're in this price range and looking for a performance car there's the ZR-1, if you're looking for a drivers car there's the F430 or GT3, if you're looking for the best of all worlds at this price you could easily buy a nicely depreciated Phaeton and a 'Busa powered Se7en and still have enough for maintenance and track days.

    @something_unique_and_descripti...: Considering the Se7en spanked almost all of them on the Top Gear board, if you're actually looking for a performance car, it's pretty much impossible to justify buying anything else at all.

    Hmmm
    One month ago: I dont think the GT-R is special enough..


    Now: Nah, I dont think the Purple Dinosaur GT-R Spec V is special enough either..


    In 2 months: Id be happier with the GT-R Spec V, Special Race Edition (with the 50yr tribute to the company emblazoned on the seats), But I also want the Series A - Z edition, with the extra blah blah blah this thing can do, and I want it painted in Hello Kitty, with Paris fuckin Hilton's bloddy red seats as part of the package


    I mena really.. how much more can ya stuff into this damn car!

    Why would I buy this when the base car is 50% less money and has impractically fast 0-60 time.
