but it doesnt come in green or orange with the cool decals under the door! thats a big minus in my book. Thats where Porsche takes my vote
A true old-school Porsche fan would dismiss this car saying the engine is on the wrong end and it's cooled with some alien substance.

This concept front end was what i was expecting...not some weak Altima front end

You mean the new ZR1 coming out? That thing is 600hp of uglyness... You'd think the vette designer would retire so vette owners would get a new car.. lol

R34 FTMFW, that's for sure... Too bad they were never sold here as they are one of my all time fav cars... It's like a 22B on super crack. (in terms of simplicity and styling)

will see, seems pretty sick and like it has good technology. It ran the ring faster than z06, thats pretty damn good in my book considering its same price.........and its awd.......i think it will finally give sti owners something to go towards

hell no, dude. I thought of picking one up about a year back since they are like only $30k - but I was pretty disapointed.

R32 GTR = not that cool when you actually drive it. Kinda like childhood dream that doesn't stack up.

This ugly **** just has one purpose - having the most power and traction to be the king of da streetz.

You figure, AWD car like the STI - gets too laggy with big turbos, 2.5l is still too small. Car w/ big potential like a Viper, spins tires stock already.

But GTR - (relatively) big engine, AWD = blast the crap out of everything in the world.

yeah it nice to have usable power, i guess tire smoking is cool but i can say from first hand it gets old fast.
