And it smoked it in every way.

None give a shit the Gtr is heavy, seems you all just have issues with slow overweight bmw's.

Thank god they didnt with any of those, well nothing against mazda. i think Toyota already owns a chunk them.

That's cause Toyota didn't partner with BMW, BMW partnered with Toyota.
Meh, maybe it's because I was firmly in the FD RX7 camp, but I just prefer lighter cars, and also recall Corvettes having better 1/4 mile and track performances, at least to stock MkIVs.

And there are plenty of us that hold the GTR weight against it.
