    Not even close. The GTR is an AWD Twin Turbo Corvette killer, and the 370z is just a RWD sports car with a responsive NA engine :) .

    I wasn't really talking about performance, I was thinking about the body style of the two. If you put them side by side, you can see they look really similar.

    And I'm pretty sure a Corvette could beat a GTR, but I don't want to start a flame war.

    Oh yeah, both being 2 door coupes sharing Nissan's range-wide design language, they do look quite similar.

    About the GTR/Corvette thing, I'm just basing myself off this image from the 2015 models' lap times at the nurburgring. If you used to browse 4chan's /o/ board like me (don't bother going if you haven't, there's nothing of value there...), you'll certainly be familiar with this one:

    You know what surprise me they use the same body for the GTR for almost 10 years.

    That means it's well designed and engineered. If a 10 year old car holds up to modern standards with only a facelift, that's definitely something impressive :)

    So do the C5 Corvette holds up still upload_2017-10-1_19-28-44.jpeg because for a car with pop ups it still look pretty modern.

    It's definitely a timeless design, but its age shows when you take a look at the interior:

    General quality problems aside, the design of this interior is distinctly old. Last time I saw a shifter like that it was on a 2nd opel corsa (pic below) :)

    So does the GTR's interior upload_2017-10-2_6-52-31.jpeg it look like a mix of a H2's and a 04 Grand Prix's interior.

    Which looks terrible... The old interior (or the old dashboard rather) was fine in my opinion, the new one just looks generic as hell

    I still love the GT-R though

    31 years without major cosmetical changes, still a bestseller- now that's what I call perfection.

    It's easy to keep a car going for 3 decades in Russia, where safety is more of a suggestion than anything else ;) in europe however, there was no way VW could keep selling the beetle with emissions and safety standards getting stricter by the year...

    And less so in America, where emission standards are sky high. I still really like the old beetle, and the new ones not that bad.

    I think that 70s GM had a lot better offerings that 70s Mercedes, given how far your dollar got you in each company.
