no, it's not attractive in the slightest.

what?

lots of things faster, not much prettier...IMHO!

That car is just another near anonymous looking supercar. 99 out of 100 people will have absolutely no idea what it is-brand or model. Can't really say that about a 993 can you?

I agree on all points above and will ad that at the end of the day it is still just a Nissan.

maybe...that is one hell of a performance machine.

Then again, no manual transmission, so no.

Yeah, but you're not everyone

Most people don't wanna spend $100K on a butt-ugly Nissan, no matter how much of a performance beast it is.

On the 997 turbo post .. 2 owners have sold there's.

I heard it's not much of a track car. I've seen a na996 hang pretty well at the track. It would only fall behind on the straights.

The GTR Godzilla is a well know car - I'd say it has cult status - known for its performance. I'd say bang for buck when comparing to other supercars that are in the same speed category. Godzilla is a technical achievement no matter how you look at it.

It's not that good looking - true - but I still look at it when I see one pass. Which car guy doesn't know what a GTR is?

I'd like to drive one and check it out - I think it would be one fun car to drive. But would I trade the 993 for it - not at all.

No way. Ugly as sin, and by all accounts, not fun to drive at all. My 993 feels special every time I drive it. It's not about speed.

it's pretty unfair to compare 993 vs Nissan GTR. My grandma can probably drive the GTR and get better lap times than most 993 owners here. And no, she is not the stig in disguise.

But would I? Nope.

Looked it up after seeing this thread. Looks like a G35
