![]() The GT-R has been deified it drives like it. Everything you can do with this car on the street simply feels beneath it. The engine is astoundingly smooth, I’ll say again, so it feels completely undramatic running out to its rather lofty redline, somewhere in the neighborhood of 7000 to 8000 rpm. Only as you get about halfway through the tach do you hear the phwooooot of the turbos spooling up and the car becomes a rocket. You can lay your right foot flat on the floor at low revs and the car simply does not go anywhere. That is, it is way laggier than you would think. Even though the engine is twin-turbocharged, with all of the top tech the Nineties had to offer, it is still very much a Nineties-era turbo product. I wouldn’t say that it was frustrating to drive, though it’s hard not to describe it as such. Only a few will ever know this uppermost level, with every bell and whistle. You can buy an R32 and have a great car, even if you just get a two-liter turbo with rear-wheel drive. N1: the highest tier of this system, the homologation special, the one that made it legal for Japan's N1 racing series. V-Spec: the most advanced version of the GT-Rs, with the most tech and the most focus. R32: the first of the modern GT-Rs, the purest, the first. This car did what Europe did, and made it better. A straight-six with 2.6 liters of displacement, with individual throttle bodies like you got on the best BMW M cars of the day, only twin-turbocharged as well. This is the greatest of all Nissan’s performance engines. With it you get its vaunted engine, also known by an alphanumeric: RB26DETT. GT-R: the fastest, most powerful performance car we never got, the tuning icon, the drag legend, the car that conquered Australia. In a way, this car is simply a collection of the best letters and the best numbers. R32 Nissan GT-R V-Spec II N1: The Car They Called Godzilla Then we can explain why they represented something more. Before I get to the big stuff, let’s start small and talk about what these three cars are. They are little icons that make a bigger movement easier to understand. And while I do love them for what they are, I love them more as standard bearers. These were the first Japanese cars not just to equal what the rest of the world was building these cars were better. I wanted to explain that there’s something different about this moment in Japanese cars. I was born in 1989 and for as long as I have been alive, these have been the most desirable cars in America. Others have snuck them in, willing to risk their cars getting seized and crushed by the government. Some small companies spent millions in an attempt to federalize them. These cars were never sold here, and we had to wait 25 years for them to become legal for import. I wanted to review the glory years of all-wheel-drive performance cars from Japan, cars that we coveted from afar in the United States. I wanted to make a point, or do something of a retrospective. There is this 1994 R32 GT-R, there is a 1990 Nissan Pulsar GTi-R Nismo (one of 21 ever built), and there is a 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR. I am in a three-car convoy with 12 driven wheels, part of a larger collection of JDM icons going up for sale. 07/10 to those who think GTR Evo will be a revolution compared with GTR2.Incredible JDM Collection in America Up for Sale 09/10 to those who love GTR2 and would like to know a sharper experience driving. 10/10 to encourage people who don't know this kind of game. A great pleasure and GTR Evo is not more "arcade" at all than GTR2. You will have to be very clean with the accelerator pedal with GT pro because the back of your car will go right when you go left. I disagree with the official Czchek review The GT's are new models and the game with full details (shadows, textures, etc.) is really beautiful. Perfect! I am really a big fan of GTR2 and made over 5000 laps on it. Handling is fantastic, with a 200% forecefeeback enabled. And it is now that I realise that the GT's was THE missing point of Race07. It is a fantastic game in terms of driving, better than GTR2.
