The Nissan GT-R

Contrary to AMG-12's opinion, I see Nissan doing at least one thing really well. The 2009 Nissan GT-R is gods gift to the road. Nissan didn't pull any punches this time, delivering a well styled and mind numbingly fast road monster. The GT-R is, if nothing else, Nissans current claim to fame. The 350z's were always a good looking car, but never were really that fast. The GT-R incorporates styling and performance that drivers used to find in the old Skylines. The GT-R harnesses the power of a Twin Turbo V-6 engine which puts down 480 horsepower to the wheels. It has a top speed of 193 mph and gets to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds... Thats faster then a Dodge Viper, a Ferrari F430, a Mustang Shelby GT500KR, a BMW M3... I could go all day. The dual clutch, automatic transmission has three settings:

Normal- Gears shift smooth and quickly with shift times in under .5 seconds.

R Mode- This setting is for maximum speed with shifts under .2 seconds. R-Mode preselects the next gear based on how fast your going, where the gas peddle is, and how high the RPM's are. Hold on tight.

Snow- Yeah you can drive it in the snow... This setting allows for smooth shifts and acceleration.

The transmission allows for completly automatic shifting (put it into drive and go) or use of the paddle shifters located on the steering wheel. The GT-R is an all wheel drive car which means the power is evenly distributed through all four wheels for maximum stability and handling. For under $80,000, the Nissan GT-R gives you a big bang for the buck. The impeccable styling smooth lines make the GT-R look so sweet, and 5o bucks says you can't find anything that will beat it in a race. If all of Nissans other cars are garbage, this is definitely the silver lining.


While I wouldn't recommend racing the 5-0, I guess you could if you need to...
