Anyway we have to keep in mind that this current Nissan GT-R is only their base model. Europeans can come up with a better faster Porsche or Ferrari but the GT-R will try to be one step ahead by constantly releasing a better model later, such as this V.spec to come. This GT-R with 1740 kg can do everything a 1300+ kg car can, imagine GT-R with 200-300 kg lighter can do plus adding more power.

I don't think Nissan GT-R should fear Europeans or Americans, I think Nissan should fear more on their own home ground such as the Honda or Toyota. It woun't surprise me that the new 2009/2010 Honda NSX or the Toyota LF-A could eat this Nissan GT-R for lunch..
You see the reality.


Excellent post.


However, I doubt the LF-A will overtake the R35.
