I for one have always enjoyed old cars and always thought if we could reproduce the shell of an older car with the modern technology, that would be the way to go.
Isn't that basically what we're getting with the '08 - '09 Challenger?
Sorry, but regardless of the performance disparity, I STILL haven't seen anything that's ever been called a "classic/antique" Japanese car.
20 years from now, my kids will have a classic American Muscle Car to share and enjoy (if I'm not still around) when I buy my Challenger this summer and leave it to them.
20 years from now, the GT-R will be old, rusty, and impossible to get parts for - not to mention it won't be worth a bucket of fertilizer.
Just my opinion, for whatever it's worth.
