So is the GT-R a cheat code on wheels? Well, it is and it isn’t from what I have experienced in the past few days. Leave the traction control systems on and the GT-R still performs remarkably well ,and I’m sure it does make the average driver look like a hero. Turn off the systems, though, and this car is a beast and does require some skill to pilot.
Does the GT-R attract attention? Well it does right now, but mostly from enthusiasts. It got a few stares from random people wondering what it is, but for the most part, it is the “fans” who follow you home and drool over the car. Countless people did not give the GT-R a second glance; it seems like you need to know what it is to “get it.”
It is definitely the most exciting car I have ever driven, period. It goes like stink, it sticks to pavement like glue and it feels like a serious track machine. I wonder if it will follow in the R8’s footsteps and win Canadian Car of the Year?
