This is a very good point to bring up. What Nissan has done with the GTR is an absolute engineering marvel. If you read tests drives and comparo's of the GTR still the media is blow away by the fact the the GTR performs as well as it does considering it's weight. It literally defies the laws of physics.

I want these guys designing my next RWD car.
