What? the R34 weighed a ton compared to the competition and has TONs of electronics. Every GT-R from the R32 on got bigger, heavier with more gizmos.

The R35 continued that tradition. The GT-R never has been about purity but about technology overcoming physics.

Who is let down by the GT-R? Maybe 12 people? EVery review and every person loves it, even if they feel its a lil detached (steering) but it ALWAYS has been like that.

Demand is huge, Nissan can't build enough.
