The GTR and 370 are both great cars......but there is no real comparision possible.
You couldn't be further off. First off the R35 GTR is not rear wheel drive. It is all wheel drive with the majority of its torque sent to the rear wheels. Its not RWD then AWD when you lose traction. Its mostly RWD and then when you lose traction it detects the situation and sends the necessary amount of power to the front wheels to aid the situation. Its very intuitive. I can't remember how far back it goes but the R34 Skyline GTR was similar and it had the majority of its torque sent to the rear wheels as well giving it the ability to get tailhappy but not crazy unless you really pushed it.

I'd say the comparison is similar to the Silvia S15 (aka 240SX) to the R34 Skyline GTR.
