R34 GT-R used to be my dream car. In some ways, more so than the Supra MK4. The sweetes inline 6 engines of their days. Especially the fact that it was an actual race car homologation from JGTC. I loved the R32 and R34 V Spec and their ability to rev up to 10,000 rpm all day long.
GT3 997 is exactly that of today. A pure street legal race car. A true Le Mans race car to fulfill the homologation requirements. It is the spirit that GT-R used to represent.
I could not give two s**s (personally) about the R35 since it is a poseur video gamey mobile that is built for company image and nothing more. Not to mention, the engine sounds horrible like a vaccum cleaner.The whole Nurburgring gong show Nissan did for publicity was laughible that no one in the world could ever replicate going to the extent of calling the one and only Walter Rohrl a "liar" and incompetent for not being able to get more out of the GT-R than 10 slower than the factory claims. I could only laugh and chuckle at how miserable Nissan had become.
Heck even the GT2 GT-R race car has nothing in common with the road going version (a RWD V8 5.6 Liter engine putting out 600+ HP@8000+ rpm).
Again, this is my own conclusion based on what I know. No one has to agree with me (especially GT-R loyalists).
