Yeah lets compare a brand new 2008 model to a car from 2003 that isn’t even on the same chassis as the new gt3.
Damn, that car looks huuuuuuuuuge.

LOL that picture looks so photoshopped! if that is for realz that is RETARDED how much bigger it is
lol… it is a behemoth (sp)
that is awesome that it still performs though, shit i’ll take more room and comfort any day as long as i don’t sacrifice the performance.
It’s for all the Supersized owners.
X…
from everything i have read…test drivers say they can feel the weight and size when driving but is sticks to the road and goes where ever you want it to
ding ding.
OG skylines were JDM only, no? Where the people are 5’2" & 100lbs… except for Howie.
Corvettes are slow and shouldn’t even try.
X…
I always thought that car looked a little oversize. I think it’s the way it makes the 20"(?) wheels look compleyely normal.
Never seen it next to another car before though. To quote many of my former girlfriends “omg that thing is freaking huge!!!” lol
Yes, that thing is big…a trend all too common with new cars today unfortunately:(
I thought this was pretty funny…Nissan requesting that owners not rice out their GTR’s:lol:
On a somwehat related note, a friend of mine currently living in China purchased a right-hand drive GTR a few weeks back. Not sure on the delivery date but I was promised some seat time should I ever head out to China!
pst, the R35 7:38 was on slicks
7.38* – 161.63 km/h – Nissan R35 GT-R, *company test driver Suzuki, slick cut tyres, track partially wet
oh and just for shits and giggles
7.39* – 161.58 km/h – Porsche 997 GT3, 415 PS/1395 kg, *mfr. (quote sport auto 05/06
