shot of my 1 next to my buddy's GTR

I thought this pic was funny because it shows how much bigger the GTR is than the 1.

only for the first 30 seconds until the trans explode though. J/K

I really like the GTR, looks unique and crazy performance. The only thing I don't like about it..all turbo in general is the way it sounds.

My only gripe against it is the looks.

this one is pretty clean



EVO compares the new 997.2 Turbo, V10 R8, and GTR in their latest issue and chooses the GTR as the most involving and fun car saying the turbo feels 2-dimensional in comparison. The turbo still gets 5 stars though. R8 gets 4 1/2 and they state they prefer the V8 over the V10.

I just don't like the front and profile view. The lines don't flow together IMO. But the designers did say that they wanted a "brutish" looking car instead of the traditional smooth, "supercar" lines. If the car looked anything like the R33 or R34 I would love it. I honestly can't see anything else wrong w/ it.

I love the CCX. But the Koeniggsegg interiors are pretty bad. But also we've jumped into ridiculous price territory.

GTR still hangs with the newest 997.2 turbo and ferrari? Well, no comparisons with 458 yet. I hope Nissan's team can work on weight reduction with gtr 2.0.
