Every country has at least one example of a good anything.
America: Ford GT supercar, Ford Fiesta hatchback, Dodge Viper sports car
Europe: Vauxhall Monaro VXR8 Bathurst S muscle, Volkswagen Saveiro pickup, Renault Clio V6 Phase 2 sports car
Japan: Toyota Hilux pickup, Nissan Micra hatchback, Lexus LFA supercar, Lexus IS-F muscle

Even then, the essence of the Japanese sports car is supposed to be inexpensive and fun, the gtr is lacking in that department. If looked at merely as a technical achievement, then it makes sense, but as a sports car it doesn't.
When reviewers are comparing it to cars that have dramatically lower performance then it because it doesn't deliver the enjoyment that a supercar or sports car is supposed, I believe that in itself to be a design flaw. That's why I personally don't see the allure of a gt-r, a sports car that only goes fast and doesn't deliver as much excitement is, well, sorta pointless to be honest.
Though I hate American cars, I'd rather fork out the extra money and buy the zr1, nearly as fast, but it manages to deliver that excitement the gt-r apparently doesn't. Or if sold on practicality mixed with performance, the m3 in my mind would be a better choice, though not even in the same league as the GT-r, it's known for being fun to drive and a practical sports car. I just don't see a single up side to the gt-r when compared to other cars except lap times.

How irrelevant, it show how much possibility there is for it, were I don't feel that with an ZR1. GTR =/= ZR1 Anyway. Don't know what the ZR1 rival is other than a Viper. Over the pond, everything is taken in to account with a car, we don't get luxury of 2/3 or 4 car ownership, cheap cars at that. GTR does everything, why need anything less, take the kids to school, cruise miles on end comfortably, tack it to the track a challenge supercars, take it to the office and not be worried about parking then do it a over the next day. If I lived in American, I reckon I would have a viper or corvette but I don't, not yet anyway. Its the same with the latest camaro, the clisest european friendly car to date but still a bit far off for us. My opinion is that it's great but that's great in its field of performance, 458/mp4/aventador etc are in the class above cuz they had to step up from the last generation as competition is stronger.

Agree there except for the comparison. Gtr vs R8 v10 vs 911 turbo. There not lacking performance at all, all powerful sports cars that do deliver. But on the no excitement front, I believe USA gets Top gear uk, anybody see the GTR vs Bullet train race, even Jeremy gave in to it brilliance and trill, I think the excitement would come when everything is OFF, on track. I wouldn't want an everyday car, making me clench around every corner, but would make me clench when I put my foot down. Ferraris may do that but so they should. R8s and 911s have the same problem. Yes M3 is more fun and is half the price but there's that difference in performance, big difference. I can't remember the R34 GTR designed for cheap and fun, after all they still go for £30-40k now 20 years on. It's a performance car, and it's dead on.

The ZR-1 is faster. http://www.egmcartech.com/2011/06/1...2-nissan-gt-r-vs-2012-chevrolet-corvette-zr1/
Really? You raved the Alpha GTR because of an 8 sec quarter but don't know the possibility of the Vette. Well here is a Z06.

Not bad, sounds rough though. Bit more aerodynamic too lol
(and on that site, ZR1 got out voted by 210 in favour of the GTR)

And not sure on that's either. Ford GT ok, Fiesta, thought that was more european market (with the focus) viper is muscle, latest vxr8 is in same class as M3 and sos the IS-F. Toyota hulix..... Ok first car to reach north pole do ain't all bad. Micra sucks but ok (should of said civic type r) LFA defo. Clio is a hatchback with rwd just like BMW 1 series. But yeh, countries do branch out to take on the best but that's business. It's what there best at that keeps them popular.

Bring out some of Panoz in GT6!
Panoz Esperante GT-R Road Car
Panoz Abruzzi Road Car
Panoz Abruzzi Le Mans Race Car
I am a big fan of Panoz, and I want their best cars to be in GT6.

Back on-topic on the offtopic, thing is the general public (99.9999999999999999999%) don't want a Nissan super car.
That's why not only it's struggling in sales, as someone confirmed my theory, but also most GT players (99.999999999999999%) prefer having more Ferraris and less GT-Rs.

So almost European (except the muscle car style engine), 1 of the 2 things I said where good at....supercars
avens
Nisan don't make a supercar, performance car yeh, and tbh, the general public on this side of the world would. (Guessing your on the western side)
As for the GTRs, cases isn't valid on the r35 but the GTR sub name, it's the hundreds of r32-34 that piss everyone (+me) off. Yes I want a few more ferraris but not many (about 7). Prefer other manufacturers first.

I assume you two are referring to the Esperente GTR-1?
I don't see how it's performance should call the Abruzzi's into question.

I was of course referring to the Esperante but not making any assertion that the Abruzzi would be the same. I've just always been a bit perplexed as to why the Esperante's performance is so poor in GT4/5, I'm sure it's not so bad in real life.

The Abruzzi made one appearance in 2011, retired after 19 laps, and then disappeared. I don't have much confidence in it.
You could eke some performance out of it if you turned it properly in GT4, but at the same time you could spend the money on something else and be competitive straight away.

The ZR1 lap was full of mistakes by the driver. A 7:15 should have been the lap time. Theres a side by side video of the GTR and ZR1 on youtube doing their laps on the ring. Its amazing how many mistakes the ZR1 driver made (you can even hear his frustration) but still he managed to beat the GTR by a considerable margin.
