The thing I love about all skylines is that 'not a classic supercar' shape - thats what puts me off a zonda.
anyhow - cant afford either of them right now lol and fancy something silly like that satin black Rex in the sales section ![]()

The GT-R would be a FAR faster car for normal good drivers.
It takes REAL motorsport level skill to drive RWD cars with that power proper fast and stay alive. It was like Clarkson in that blue devil of road legal race car last night. He honestly couldn't control it around the track but the Stig beat the previous fastest time around that track by 7 seconds in it and never looked out of control! I'm a strong believer in "usable power" and that makes the Evo's, GT-Rs etc of the world very special, Cobras', Koenzzzzdahfsyehdsns, Zondas and the like look and sound amazing but from all accounts from drivers and owners you would be faster in Clio 182 unless you have some serious driving skills.

It's amazing that a practical four seater GT with a usable trunk can give a supercar like the Zonda a run for its money. So which do you think is the real supercar? Like Clark Kent, looks docile but can turn into a superman!
That's the real allure of the GT-R.

Yeah the GT-R is a supercar but it isn't the "Ultimate" no matter how fast it is. You are comparing a "super car" to a " REAL SUPERcar" The GT-R is fast but it isn't as special as the Zonda and it never will be and we all know this. Don't get me wrong...I respect the GT-Rs performance and
to its performance for the price. In my opinion the Nissan GT-R as far as rank is on the level of the Gallardo Supperleggera, F430 etc. Not the BIG Boys like the Enzo, CGT, Zonda F, Veryon, MC12 etc etc. Cars like that most people won't even get to sit in let alone own! People now adays seriously abuse the word supercar and will put it on anything. Now say if it were an American car it would get bashed nothing but a V8 and it isn't able of being called a supercar but I guess the GT-R gets a get in free card lol. The C6 Z06 is fast, Beaten MANY cars stock but its no supercar here its just a vette to most. I love the GT-Rs back in the day but this is a totally new car so of course like some it still has some growing to do on me. I could see if it were a brand new, lighter I6 which I would have loved. I think what really killed it for me was the DSG and most of all...worldwide sale!

Are not the Zonda/Enzo etc etc considered "Hyper" cars ? a litte bit of another level of building and cost.

I forgot they are considered "Hyper" not "Super". I still don't think personally it will do it even with the newer models Vspec or EVO. Some company HAS to run a faster time...the Zonda F CS won't have the title for even a year im sure of it. But as I said...I respect the new GT-R for its performance...I just don't like the car. Now if it were the R34 I would have rubbed it into everyones face until they got a rash and then some lol. But the R34 Nur had its day as being the fastest but most people forgot about that.
