http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... a few seconds, you give in to the spectacle of driving a 2009 Nissan GT-R. This car attracts its own entourage and then takes you along for the ride. It's not just the Skyline mystique, either. It's the fact that even in production sheet metal, the R35 GT-R looks like a one-off concept stolen from a Southern California design studio. It has as many hard contours as a Porsche 911 has soft curves. You have the key fob, and still you ogle it.Soon, though, you point the GT-R down an on-ramp and plant the throttle. The effortless brutality with which the 2009 Nissan GT-R gathers speed is what you'll describe to your friends — once everyone's tired of talking about the styling, that is.What you won't tell them is that you suspect your supercar might be a sociopath. It doesn't flow around corners like your E46 BMW M3 did, nor does it transmit feedback through the steering wheel for the sheer pleasure of it.Instead, the 2009 Nissan GT-R bends asphalt to its will. When it talks to you about tire grip, you get the feeling it's only bothering because you're part of its great plan to break free of the Earth's orbit. Should it ever achieve this, you imagine that its conversation will cease and it will simply expel you into the airless void. Until then, though, you have the conn.

Bullshit as usual.Every Z06 fan is still fuming about the 7:29 GTR N'ring time. Totally smashing the Z06 7:42 time.The GTR is more reliable and will last longer than the heavy maintenance Chevy.

Not surpising about the riding part though. The 350z didn't ride well either. They seemed to focus more on the power, price, and loooks. I still say for the money this is a no brainer.

Can only launch the car 15 times before the transmission gives out. The most Nissan has got was 34 launches.-The fluid lists at 80 dollars a quart. It costs dealerships 49.99 a quart. The car takes 10 quarts.-The warranty depends on the driving, there is a black box in it just like an airplane.-Customers have to sign a waiver stating they will not complain about brake or transmission noise.-The brakes MUST be replaced at the same time, cost for replacing 6500.

GT-Rcosts less, just as sexy, fast as hell. what more could u want?still the Porche is a damn good car, dont even bash it. Porche is one of the best cars in the world in my opinion. also by price its better than Ferrari and Lamborghini
