let me get my flame suit on before i type this next paragraph as im sure to offend some of the GTR fan boys here.

i disagree, the GTR's design is far from sophisticated. it just dosent look like a sleek sexy sports car to me... its a giant breadbox. when i think sophisticated design i look at what GM just did with the z06, or the direction BMW is going with their M cars and what toyota has just unveiled.

the only similarities i see are the glass A pillar and the roof line but just slightly. other than that they look nothing like each other from the side.

ive never been a fan of the GTR's look, ive always thought the gtr looks like a giant cat fish, no sexy curves, straight lines, it bores me personally. ft1 blows it out of the water from the side view... not fan of the ft1's gigantic beak but hopefully they can sort that out if and when it makes it to production.

all thats left is for toyota to deal with the beak and give the car some balls with a manual transmission and id take it over a GTR all day every day. GTR = mind blowing performance, no doubt, but give me a car with some soul and sex appeal over a GTR any day, just my personal preference. i hate fan boys who quote nurburgring numbers because the fact is, 75% of people that own these cars dont take them to any tracks, be it road or drag.

with that being said... ive been a supra guy since i was a kid and have gone through 3 mk4's in the past 9 years, these cars have always had a special place in my heart and always will, so my opinion is definitely bias :-P
