Message	Nissan decided to use the Z platform as their global flagship/Porsche-Corvette-beater. The GTR now fills that role. Looks being subjective as they are, Nissan has given us that Porsche-Corvette beater.....and they returned the Z back to its true roots, even if only in their own minds. I liked the ZTT because it was the OMG car of its time. The GTR is the OMG car of its time. I just hate the exterior, and the weight issue is an industry problem, not just Nissan.
