Love 'em or hate 'em, these cars made a splash

Nissan GT-R

With affordable performance covered by the 350Z (and now the 370Z), Nissan set its sights on the supercar arena, ultimately developing the GT-R. More than simply a larger and less attractive Z, the GT-R boasts all-wheel-drive, a twin-turbocharged V6 engine cranking out 485 ponies and 434 lb.-ft. of torque, a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, as well as stats like 0-60 mph in about 3.5 seconds and a top speed approaching 200 mph. Basically, it’s the kind of stuff that’ll make even the most vocal Nissan bashers shut their traps. But, aside from offering buyers a tremendous machine and changing how many of us look at this Japanese brand, the Nissan GT-R is priced at about $81,000, which makes it a screaming bargain in a land of Porsches and Ferraris.
