Yes, it might not sell as many units as the Z, but it has a bigger impact from a marketing perspective.
Oh, and I would be surprised if the GT-R only received 570 hp. I'm guessing 600+ will be more like it.

there are 2 more model years left for the R35 after the 13.... by the last year i expect 600
for 2013... its confirmed to be between 570-580
still that will be good for a 10.7 ish 1/4 mile verging on 130 mph
