2010 nissan gt-r Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The quarter-mile flashes by in 11.6 seconds at 118.9 mph. Fuel economy, should you care, checks in at an EPA-estimated 16 mpg city/21 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined. Safety: Standard safety features on the 2010 Nissan GT-R include massive antilock Brembo brakes, stability control and traction control. Front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags are standard on all GT-R models for 2010. In brake testing, we've recorded a best 60-0 mph stopping distance of 98 feet, a very short distance indeed. Interior Design and Special Features: The 2010 Nissan GT-R's interior is a somber... |

The Base trim gets a new darker, “high-luster” finish for the 20-inch forged aluminum alloys, while the Premium trim gets a “near black” finish.

2010 Nissan GT-R Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...with a large tachometer front and center. The seats hug their occupants tightly — a necessity on the track — but the floor space is uncommonly unrestrictive. Technically a four-seater, the GT-R could handle two adults in front and two kids in back. Nissan says the trunk can accommodate two golf bags or suitcases.

2010 Nissan GT-R Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...It may not have that classic American fast car styling or rumbling V-8, but this car crushed everything I approached on the highway. Three taps on the magnesium paddle shifters to down shift the six-speed dual clutch transmission, feel the slight lurch as the engine winds up to 5,000 rpm at 80 mph and then hit it. As a friend and I shot through traffic one day, he simply said, "This is like a fast forward button." Heart monitor not included Indeed. And the interior boasts the exact same understated, high-tech feel as the exterior. The navigation screen on the dash cants toward the driver... |

Why should I also consider these?
Acceleration, top-speed figures, and flashy styling mean a lot in this class of vehicle, but the driving experience means something, too.
Two of the top rivals to the GT-R are the Corvette ZR1 and the Porsche 911 Turbo.
The ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 will push it to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, 0.3 second faster than the Corvette Z06, according to GM; it'll hit 100 mph in 7.0 seconds, turn in quarter-mile times of 11.3 seconds at 131 mph, and charge to a claimed top speed of 205 mph, all for a price tag some $20,000 higher than the GT-R—and minus two seats.
The 911 Turbo has them beat at the top end, offering nearly 200 mph and an available top-down experience, punching out 480 hp for nearly $135,000.
As for which one would draw more gawkers, it's a toss-up.
