King Kong would beat Godzilla anyday.
The new GT-R looks absolutely incredible... one of the most highly anticipated cars in recent years.

What a load of crap. The bearded bloke said that the reason for the current Falcon v Commodore racing was due to the dominance of the Nissan Skyline GTR. That is not correct. Europe had moved away from the Group A formula to 2 litre racing in the early 1990s. This left Australia in limbo as only Nissan and Holden were still homologating cars for Group A. The BMW M3 and Ford Sierra RS500 were homologated for the 1987 World Touring Car Championship and were well past their use by date. The reason Australia chose V8 racing was to allow Ford to race the Falcon, not ban the Nissan Skyline.

i'm pretty sure he's right on the money. the 4wd turbo godzilla was the reason the rules were changed in the touring car series back then.

I hate how they call all GTR's "Godzilla". Its only the R32 GTR that was know as Godzilla, the others are all just GTR's. Get it right people.

Should be a good car. I don't mind the look of the 350Z, one on steroids with performance to match will be a good thing.
