I had no idea just how deserving of the nickname "Godzilla" the Nissan GT-R is...until I drove it at the Texas Auto Writers Association's 2015 Texas Auto Roundup.

Nice writeup, and a proper Tennessee tag from the HQ.

You'll make Skyline GT-R owners upset though because the Godzilla name was penned by the R32 GT-R by Australian auto mags, which the car was then subsequently dominant there. I could see the R35 being dominant enough to deserve the name, particularly with the 12 hour win at Bathurst.
