im curious about the comment pertaining to the new GT500 not out performing the 2000 R? im not sure that i understand that, as the new GT500 is far more powerful, and has LOTS of potential thanks to the engine setup...not to mention that the GT500 is a street car with all of the modern ammenities, where as the R didnt have a heater, no AC, no rear seat, no sound deadener...etc..
