If this all pans out as bad as its described, it's actually tough for me to believe Nissan would have been this dopey. The GT-R was almost specifically designed to address the desire for their to be a Skyline in the States. Surely, they must have known Americans would drive them pretty hard, assuming they were getting what they paid for. It's not a Ferrari or prestige badge, this is supposed to be a bad mother fu*ker. I've talked plenty of shit on the GT-R (the numbers in some of the tests were literally beyond the bounds of physics as far as I could tell (low 11s @ 125~ in a 3,800lbs. 480BHP AWD?). If this turns out (especially the Porsche claim!), I'm actually sad. Secretly I was really hoping the GT-R would be all the hype claimed it to be.
As for me I guess I'll have to be content with hot lapping my big dumb simple American car on DRs.
