It doesn't matter if nothing was here. They still engineered these.

They had the Silvia, Silvia R, pulsar Gti R, gtr, 300zx, and other cars, i think they know wtf they are doing when it comes to sports cars.

Hyundai though has a gen coupe with 348 Hp oh damn!!!!
Still missing the point. We are all nissan enthusiasts and we know our heritage. But the question posed isn't a heritage c0ck-measuring session. It's a future cars session, and if you notice? We are talking about cars in a 30k to 50k range. When i say it wasn't tangible to US till 2008. Its because the GT-R hasnt affected our domestic market since then.
Since we are talking about future cars, in an affordable price-point. GT-R heritage is a minor footnote in a larger discussion.

But yeah, if we are whipping our c0cks out. Then yeah our NA v6's our superior to all in our price range and then some. Our cars give better feeback and more precision than most.

But where is the car market heading? will we meet the challenges of tomorrow? The market is convoluted and going many directions... No one has claimed a competitor but one company for the next gen cars. HYUNDAI.

As far as nissan, so far, i cant tell if we will keep battling porsche or make scion our new benchmark? lol so heritage and all, I find hyundai very interesting right now based on the competitor they chose. we still havent defined one and there is not even one small factoid out there except the exhaust not of a Q50. lol

Lastly, when companies are spending alot of money on R&D to make performance parts for a car, and that car has as many parts for sale as us. There's gotta be a reason, and my comptitive radar goes up.
