Yay, thanks for the sarcasm. :rolleyes: and I already answered your question. :stupid:

If you searched, you'd probably find its been discussed plenty of times before.

GT probably stands for alot of things.

No, you didn't answer my question, but good guesses. GT only stands for one thing. Zbane already pm'd me the answer. Thanks for the try, though. Look it's not a big deal, it was just a quick question on the GT-R thread

Well, GT stands for one thing is this particular situation, Grand Tourer/Gran Turismo; but I'm sure it does indeed mean other things in other situations....

But about the car at hand, the Nissan GT-R...

I like the overall look of the car, though I would really need to see it in person to tell if all the lines work together.

When I first saw the Bugatti Veyron in print, I thought it looked a bit off. Interesting to be sure, but not what I would consider beautiful.

I have since had the privilege to see the Veyron in person (still working on getting to drive it), and find it to be a work of automotive art-both gorgeous and intimidating simultaneously.

I expect the same to be true of the GT-R (I just hope I get to see one up close someday soon!).

Actually the answer your your question is: Yes. (The 240Z was considered a GT).

GT applied to cars, stood for Grand Tourer (Gran Tourismo is just french or itallian for Grand Tourer), ie a a sporty car with some luxury (like the 240Z, are we learning yet? put 2 and 2 together did we?), as apposed to an all out sports car. So yes I already answered your question in my first post.
