I still like the RX-7, or an 8 with FI like Mazsport Turbo.

r33 GT-R is widely considered one of the least popular GT-Rs. its reign atop the skyline line was short, only 3 years before Nissan went to the R43. Hoshino Kouzou owned a total of 4 GT-Rs. switched to a R32 from and R33, but was disappointed and switched back to another R32 before ending up with an R34 :p. j/k i watch too much initial D :p

r33 gt-r did set the nurburgring production lap record at the time.

Well, if God Foot said so then it must be true.

Actually, my friends in Japan tell me that many consider only the R32 to be the
real GT-R, not even the R34.

I have a feeling that the new GT-R will end up like the R33. It just doesn't look
right for some reason, so I wonder if the GT-R purists will accept it.
