^^^ I agree that GTR is not sexy....but its not ugly...

if you are looking for the best bang for your buck, GTR is the only car which comes to mind...now with the new C7 and SRT Viper, I bet things are going to change

Not to mention a more mature person could care less when the kid at the stop light might want to drag race.

Beauty, Soul, Sex Appeal, Legacy, & Performance, trump fast ugly.
Every car guy I know respects and admires the GT-R.

Sure it's a sleeper compared to an exotic, but there's something cool about being a wolf in sheep's clothing.

And yes, we get it, you don't like how it looks.

Try to pay attention. I never disputed the GTR's performance.

It's a wolf in an ugly polyester suit.

Most people get that the GTR is no looker.

it would be super cool if you guys moved the GTR talk over to here:

https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/general-car-talk-discussion-thread-832939/

it would be good for you guys because you could really discuss it, and not feel limited by a thread about another car.

just my 2 cents, it would be nice ;p

The Corvette is a much better riding DD and has a much larger more usable trunk space so to me its a better DD.

And i dont agree with it looking cool in a butchy way.
