There are only two issues I have with the GT-R -- it has a back seat and auto trans.

my biggest thing is that it looks rather average imo

i honestly think the 370z looks more like the 90k car....purely from exterior appearances

Looks are kind of a subjective thing. IMO the GT-R does look like a $90k supercar from the outside, but I think the Z does too.

I like that it has back seats, it adds a DD aspect to it. This Is good because if/when I get one I will DD it. It's a supercar, DD, and track beast all wrapped into one. The auto transmission is amazing and was required for the car to be as quick as it is. As much as it may hurt manual enthusiasts, autos are the performance transmissions of the future.

The 2012 GT-R has been tested with a 0-60 time of 2.88 s and lapped the nurburgring in 7 mins 24.22 sec, which is one of the fastest times for a production car and was In semi-wet conditions. This time is only 0.22 s behind the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and is also 2.2 s quicker than the ZR1.

Auto-manual. Very different from a regular automatic gearbox. But yes a true manual option for the purists would be a nice feature but tough for them to justify in such a low volume vehicle.
