The GTR is is pretty solid piece of engineering. I think the main draw to them is the fact that they’re extremely quick for the money you can purchase them for. There are other cars on the market that are similar to that, but part of North America’s fascination with it comes from that fact that it was relatively unattainable (sort of a forbidden fruit).

The R35 is horrible to look at, but it is quick, and thats what the designers were going for methinks.
