Is the Nissan GTR a better AWD performance car than a 2024 C8 Corvette E-Ray? 

I don’t care about the latest and greatest. This is a timeless machine.

I don't care about the industry. The R35 GT-R will always be my favorite performance car because of the strong aftermarket support that it has. It is basically a blank canvas that can be molded into whatever your heart desires.

This platform is almost 20 years old and still compete with todays performance cars.A very respectable car that worth its price.

Hit the nail on the head Joe. It’s a dream car. I was 13-14 when the R35 GT-R came out and I knew I had to have one. When I graduated high school I set my sights on obtaining a GT-R. I made no excuses and 10 years later I made it happen. I bought my 2013 Black Edition with just 9k miles. Damn near perfect car and it’s increasingly harder to find nice ones. An E-Ray, M4, 911. All may post faster numbers but, they don’t stir the soul like the R35. Even after all these years the R35 makes people smile when they see it.

Gtr definitely, such a unique car

No matter how it seems those who get behind the wheel of the R35 always end up with a huge smile makes you feel like a kid no doubt even if the car is outdated is still shines in it's own way

The GTR is still one of the best drivers cars of all time. You can criticize it's interior or say it needs a refresh, blah, blah, blah, etc, but you cannot deny the amount of development this car has and the level of performance and grip, so that you can use the power to your advantage. One of the best AWDs in the world. It looks sexy still and the rear end is just phenomenal. Bullet proof legendary V6 twin turbo, with lots of room for insane tuning! Blows away so many other more expensive cars! and if you get that black model with all the incredible overtones in the paint it shines and glows in the sunlight and depending on time of day. I just pray Nissan never stops making this car. It is what I want right now!

I'm glad I listened your advice 1 year ago when I asked if I should buy a GTR and you said don't even think if you can afford one go get it and I did get my 2020, loved it and thank God I bought it its a amazing machine even though I have a 458 spider whith I like pretty much but I still love the GTR more due to its super fast, stable, reliable, you can modify as much as the check you can write and it's comfortable so this is the best super car you can have

You should do a vid on best sports car under 100k, 50k etc.! That would be dope!

When I win the lottery, this is the first car I'm buying in that color.

"It's okay... it's okay"....that corner was impressive. Great review Joe.

I went to Vegas once, saw a zillion exotic cars. Only one that made my jaw drop was a clean red GTR❤

Still one of my favorite cars of all time! What a machine!

Your love and passion for each vehicle you drive is so fun to watch. Thanks for all the entertainment sir! My favorite car reviewer ever!

Joe----the Godzilla of car reviews

Awesome video I was fortunate enough to drive a right hand drive GTR through the streets of Yokohama Japan direct from the Nissan factory watching this video brings back. Great memories keep up the good work actually all your videos are awesome. You really explain the car the way it should be, thanks for sharing👍👍👍

GTR. beast of a machine. 2 door. 4 seats, the rear seats are mostly for show.

My take is that the car is still beautiful and basically EVERYONE respects. It’s also synonymous with the amount of modifications it’s capable of. I think if I had to get one, I’d get this and mod it to 1000 hp and call it a day. Lol The amount of passion it brings makes me want to cry.

On throttlllllle ! 🙃. Speaking of C8 corvette, the rear end of the GTR with the round lights, is what the corvette should look like 😎. Thanks for the ride Joe

It’s crazy how the R35 has been out since 2007 and it still looks and drives like it’s modern competition. So impressive. I’m gonna really miss it when it’s gone, especially since it could be the last gas powered GTR.

watching your enjoyment Raiti's rides gold

Never ever ever had a dull moment with Joe..... On throttle!!!! Thanks for all your work guys

I just finally bought a ‘23 GTR, my dream car. Been waiting for you to do a video on one. Well done, great to watch.

I've wanted a new gen GTR since they came out. I love these

Timeless, awesome, traditional, iconic!!! The GTR wins!

MY DREAM CAR SOON! THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW JOE 🙌🏻

Thank you for another great video and review Always coming away with a greater sense of what these cars are capable of doing today

WHOOOO I haven't even starting watching and I am thanking you JOE!!!! One of my fave automobiles!!!

Always great presentations 😊

Amazing review Joe.

Just a beautiful car great video Joe.

Your reviews are lively that really catch attention..good work sir

Truly a gem 💎

Thank you for the continued inspiration! I'm closer than I think.

Awesome! Thank you for a great review!!

Just listen to Joe’s response when on throttle… nothing else needs to be said, Godzilla is still awesome and a steal at this price point.

Great Job as always !!!!!

The GTR 35 Iconic car like Porsche still love this model i like the tail lights

I always wait for your videos. GOD BLESS 👍

Great review for a car dear to most of our hearts 💯

I love the GTR. Growing up Ive always wanted to drive one! If I could pick both the GTR and the C8 E-Ray I would! But if I can only have one... It's the E-Ray and it isn't even close! That V8 sound combined with the hum of the electric motor... Its like youre in a fricken space ship! And its more modern both on the inside and outside.

i just bought this same exact one and im happy ! ;]

Engine bay so clean

What a beast I would love to drive one great review Joe!!

Truly the Kaoji of Cars! 🐉

0-60 in 2.8 damn that's fast 😮 thought it was 3.5, yeah I'll take it 😏

RAITI deserves good views from me....No boring content Bro!

Having the sound more on the inside of the car is pretty cool too.

I own a 23 GT-R and I didn't buy it for the tech. Having a super car with easy maintanance that doesn't break my bank account compared to many others in the price range. Also big plus is no waiting lists, no having to buy 10+ other crap cars to get it either. The competition can have all the tech they want and be as quiet they can be, but I want noise and simplicity. Respect to other people and their cars but my GT-R is my personal Unicorn.

i want one in orange 🍊

This guy Raiti is a humble positive person,

Yes of course & can't wait to buy one of these.

I'm just in love with this beautiful Japanese Beast ❤🔥💪🏽🐲. Awesome video, Joe !!!!!

Damn that grip of that car pull you along , there is always something about this nizmo , even though the inside is just plain and simple ..the exterior is where we get goosebumps ..lucky joe

Definitely one of my favorite cars of all time! 🚗🏆

Comparing GTR R35 Godzilla to a fre4kin c8 is crazy😂😂

Amazing review you are truly the best in the industry. I should've purchased my GTR in 2011 while I was test driving it one of my regrets not signing that check

With Nissan’s history with AWD systems, I’d most definitely trust their system over a GM product. The GTR doesn’t have as impressive numbers as many other vehicles out there these days, but it’s not always about bigger is better. A Miata has ‘low’ HP and still regarded as one of the greatest sports cars of all time. The GTR has blistering performance and it’s obtainable for folks who are not professional race drivers. I’ve read posts time and time again that a good amount of people sold their GTR because it was too EASY to drive and they felt bored with the car. Not that its performance was boring, but that the car made driving at its limit too easy to drive all out and bawls to the wall. Strangely, it’s almost like the forgotten super car in 2024. I know myself I’d love to own one if ever given the chance. A truly special vehicle with history and prestige behind it. I think the biggest downfall of the skyline/GTR is the pricing. It started out as someone affordable for its super car preference, then the pricing skyrocketed like crazy. In 2024, when someone can get a Model 3 Performance with 500+hp and equal torque numbers for literally more than half of the price of a GTR, it doesn’t help things. Even an S Plaid is MUCH less In price but with 1,020Hp and 900+lb tq. Two different cars for sure but power for power and compared in price, it’s not even close in which one wins. EV’s have definitely mixed things up and changed how we look at price and performance. Nonetheless, love the GTR and hope to own one eventually!

To the door panel…. Friggin pumps me up every time !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎💪🤙

Joe you're the best!

As a GT-R owner I love how you've reviewed this car so many times lol.

Sheesh, that cabin engine noise sounds sooo good on throttle 😍😍😍

Nice Car Joe! you’re The Best! BTW Nice GT-R! 💀 👍

Really loved what you had to say about the beast. I’ve never driven a GTR but I assumed it feels exactly as you described your experience. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great video, the gtr will always be an iconic car. All round it’s a beast.

The GTR has always been my dream car to own since I became a Motorhead and into cars. Thanks for posting!!

Joe, they should have called this Paul Walker blue. Whenever I see a GT-R I can’t help but be reminded of how legendary Paul was & still is today.

The scoop of the Type R serves the same purpose as the GTR, you forgot to mention that by getting fresh air and exhausting it tru the fenders it also keeps the engine bay cooler as it produces a natural vacuum.

21:06 was the best footage i've seen a journalist post of a drive on the streets in a while. Raw yet in control and fun to watch

Though I'm not the biggest fan of how long the GTR model has been somewhat unchanged, it's looking sharper than ever. Or maybe it's the lighting and angles. Though it doesn't look like the sunniest day or it's just the cloud cover, the lighting and reflections on the GTR seems vibrant as can possibly be.

Yes! Love you're aggressive driving! ...but my favorite review is still the Hako!

Wow what a masterpiece of a vehicle it is so well tuned and refined to perfection.

@RaitisRides looks like you left some skid marks around turn 3 at 25:04 (and I'm not talking about the ones on the road) LOL love your videos and excitement brother.

My favorite gdm car

The round taillights are so awesome.

You were doing a lot of yelling, but you were really focused on the road. Thats a real beast you are rolling.

The GTR is really bad ass , and the stance , you see no fender tire Gaps at all , Bravo Nissan !!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

The way you went on throttle at 24:29 was hilarious 😂🔥

Love GTR love that color beautiful.

I respect the GTR and have watched them do incredible things, but I'll always side with the Corvette. They've always been MY dream car even when all the other kids my age were into imports during the era of Fast&Furious and Need For Speed Underground. If I had to pick one, I'd go with a 2019 ZR1 in Elkhart Lake Blue with the 7 speed manual transmission. Such a beast! I've owned 2 C5 Vettes and really enjoyed them both.

Great content 👌 👏 My lexus es330 can also take those corners tho...🙃... Would've been nice ta see where that thing belongs- on the track 🙂

I'd crank the Megadeth for sure! 502! Love the GTR and still want one.

OooWeee!! If this were Any other channel than our Raitis'; I wouldve cussed in Celebration, just to see this comparison as an Idea.

GTR is GTR. Needs nothing too fancy. Love the raw on throttle Raiti! You’re awesome!

I love the...."to the door panel"....Joe is fun!! 😅🙂

This platform is almost 20 years old!!!

For the wheels and brakes alone this thing is a true Godzilla Vehicle! Super impressive for it's weight and size. Love the look all the way around. For that money though, put a bigger infotainment system in there. All in all thought it's a well put together vehicle IMO. Thanks for the great review!

Great example of a dying breed and great is still alive! Like you stated at the beginning the car industry is changing and not for the benefit of car enthusiasts. Nissan should be commended for still producing this car. Thanks for sharing the experience of driving the car Joe!

The reaction and excitement in your voice and face....it tells me you are having fun, my friend! :) Great car and great review!

I get the same feeling when im driving my GT-R, its such a fun car to drive

Best video you ever made

Wow, Joe this car is awesome.

it just looks so nice

love my dream car r35

The grip on those corners is INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t afford either car but if I could I’d hands down take a GTR. It’s not even debatable in my opinion, I love everything about the GTR!

Joe why anyone would pick an electric E Ray over the GTR is beyond me, no comparison. Great video. I love this car! I like the gasoline Corvettes, too ZR1, especially, of course 💰. I would still rather have the GTR and all wheel drive. Aside from off road you can drive this thing in just about all weather conditions too.

Thanks for the experience. I am a fan of Infiniti. Your follower is from Saudi Arabia🇸🇦

A cool old fashion look!

I had a 2010 and it was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. They have made incremental improvements in the car every year. If you get the chance to drive one you are a lucky guy
