Which also handles pretty good... The MR's a few years come with nice leather bucket seats, but the dash board is pittiful...

The new STI with a built block and FP turbo also puts out really nice numbers esp on e85 .... there is a local guy around my area with a new sti hatch with the plate V8Bait that has well over 500 awhp in its every day trim .... car is bananas and looks real nice...

none of these car have half the presence and technology that the GTR has but they are half the price and potentially just as fast
