Since our photo shoot, Robert added a lip spoiler to visually bring the car lower to the road. He also says the car sees said roads three or four days a week, serving as his point A to point B transportation. An audio system in a car like this seems like a lost cause. What sounds better than the spooling and venting of a lively turbo?
The R32 GT-R, designed in every way to be a homologation model for competition, set the bar pretty high when it hit the track in 1989. The technological juggernaut dropped the hammer on all comers going 29 for 29 out of the gate in JTCC Group A competition, winning the championship from 1989 to 1993-even with weight penalties and the like. The R32 passed the baton to the R33, which also put up some monster numbers in the N1 Super Taikyu series, extending the GT-R championship run to 1997.
While it's hard to deny the super car credentials of the GT-R, Robert's GT-S packs credentials of its own. Bare in mind, this is one GT-S that just might be greater than the sum of its parts and is, undeniably, one supremely driveable JDM giant in its own right.
