For a few seconds, you give in to the spectacle of driving a 2009 Nissan GT-R. This car attracts its own entourage and then takes you along for the ride. It's not just the Skyline mystique, either. It's the fact that even in production sheet metal, the R35 GT-R looks like a one-off concept stolen from a Southern California design studio. It has as many hard contours as a Porsche 911 has soft curves. You have the key fob, and still you ogle it.
Soon, though, you point the GT-R down an on-ramp and plant the throttle. The effortless brutality with which the 2009 Nissan GT-R gathers speed is what you'll describe to your friends — once everyone's tired of talking about the styling, that is.
What you won't tell them is that you suspect your supercar might be a sociopath. It doesn't flow around corners like your E46 BMW M3 did, nor does it transmit feedback through the steering wheel for the sheer pleasure of it.
Instead, the 2009 Nissan GT-R bends asphalt to its will. When it talks to you about tire grip, you get the feeling it's only bothering because you're part of its great plan to break free of the Earth's orbit. Should it ever achieve this, you imagine that its conversation will cease and it will simply expel you into the airless void. Until then, though, you have the conn.

Tell a friend:
Have you even seen the GTR in person? That thing is BIG and Nice and fast.
Cobalt? My friend has one......
In that case I would rather rock a Spec V.
I love the Corvette but given the choice, I'd probably go for the 'san
Nissan GTR costs $80000 while the corvette which your referring to costs $113,970.
if i was given the extra money that the corvette is over by, my GTR would beat the carrera GT by 6-7 cars hand down, SON.
therefor keeping the price off the car in mind and as accepeted by all the racing experts there the GTR is your most bang for buck.
a stock GTr even defeats the Lamborghini gallordo superlegga
no i can´t ecause it coust more
it's so beautiful!
i talk of a porsche GT
yea well its still a 1.7 tonn sports car with rear seats an averaged sized engine which is underpowered for the wieght it has to pull.
nd u still call it a poor excuse for a supercar that didnt even try to be one in the first place.
when ppl say it can beat nethin it comes up against they mean if two average joes raced one had a GTR one had a GT. the GTR will win cause i doubt a avg. joe could push a carrera GT as hard as a GTR
GTRs to me are better because.....you dont have to be a millionaire to have one. u can actually buy it and it performs with the best of them.
supercars are just for bragging, not for real racers.
Good god will someone smash tha fark outa the dickhead narrator and the way he
says "knee-san"
NISS-SAN
