Common agreement with enthusiasts and reviews have stated the GT-R is an ANIMAL, it has always been HP underated from the factory and it NEVER has been truly driver involved. To you and me, hell yeah it will be involved. To its competition, it simply is not as involving. Are some nitpicking? Surely yes, the Japanese have NEVER had the upper hand in review when it comes to bias outside of Honda.Originally Posted by hybrid90accord
Rule of thumb;
"You can be FASTEST around the track or you can be FUNNIEST around the track". There is a difference
That is NOT the GT-Rs purpose. The purpose is to be Japanese "Godzilla" and lay waste to the competition in a bigger, badder kind of way. GT-R=Fastest around the track. That is what its trying to do.
No I have not driven a GT-R BUT I am not going to disagree with decades of experts opinions.
Lets look at the competition. Porsche for example. The 911 Turbo is hardcore than most cars, it is AWD and Turbo. Even Porsche knows it is not "pure" with AWD. So what do they do? They create the RWD, lighter, GT3 and GT3 RS. Experts think those 2 are some of the greatest drivers cars ever made.
Even Audi is changing. The RS4 was the first Audi with a RWD 60/40 bias instead of 50/50 so it can be more "engaging" to the driver.
