Default GTR still ugly

Even the 2013 Nissan GTR is still ugly compared to the Vette.

IMHO it will never look as good or perform as good as the Z06/ZR1 and they can keep their AWD.

Here's some pics decide for yourself.

And this is related to the C6 or C7 how?
Ugly to you, beautiful to others- the way life works.
Does it make you feel like a bigger man bashing other's choices?

Bad place to be critical of the GTR- seems lots of vette guys like it- must be the round tail lights. I think that monster wing amongst other things is killing it in those pics but I'll bite my tongue

Who's bashing in case you missed what I wrote I'll spell it out for you.
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion. The key word here is opinion and yes I'm entitled to it. Did I go to fast for you?

That's some riced out GTR, not a production version. 545hp stock and easily upgraded. Make mine deep blue pearl!

I never liked the GTR, but after driving one, it has only grown on me, BTW, you do know that the GTR has been wrecking the Z06 in performance for quite some time, and still outperforms the ZR1 in the 1/4, note I prefer the ZR1 over the GTR anyday, can't say the same about the Z06.

They look much better in person(I prefer white) it is a very BIG/TALL car, they are a blast to drive, it's like a real life video game.

Must admit I saw one in my neighborhood a while back and it looked pretty cool but it definately wasnt stock-had some angry sounding exhaust on it too. Think it was painted viper green... sounded nice.

Actually, the ZR1 smokes the GTR at the track. Who cares about the drag strip?

Here's an example:

UHM...I care about the drag strip..and could care less about the track...Jus saying

Different strokes for different folks...the difference is if my Vette breaks...I will take tha bill over if the GTR does....

Modded GTR's w/no warranty and in need of service...you minds well Your head !

GTR is definitely expensive to maintain/repair. I never cared for the looks.

It's much easier to build a drag strip monster than it is a handling and fast beast for the track. Look at what happened to the latest Mustang.

Yeah its the "hero" car for the Fast and Furious 6 movie that comes out in a few months. That widebody (while not my taste as im a GTR purist) is made by BenSopra and is like over $40K.
