Look, It's Godzilla

If there's one thing that almost all car blogs have in common it's pictures of cars found "Down on the Street," as Jalopnik calls it.

There's a difference between seeing pictures of a car and seeing it in real life. In a picture it's just an object, a piece of metal sitting on a platform or driving down a road.

In real life though, you can feel a car's presence. You can see just how it sits on the ground or how tall it is compared to you.

But more than that, you know that it really does exist in the real world.

So behold the Nissan GT-R (2007-Present), aka Godzilla, as found in Savannah, Georgia.

It's Nissan's halo car. A $76 thousand sports car that is, supposedly, faster than some $100 thousand plus Porsches.

It also beat the bullet train across Japan.

It's a car that suggests raw power just by the way it's styled. It looks brutal, almost chiseled from a solid piece of metal.

Under that bulging hood, and behind the snarling grill, is a 480hp.

The Japanese call it Godzilla because it combines a 3.8L twin-turbo V6 and an incredibly well tuned suspension system. It rockets around corners and, in keeping with the nickname, destroys competitors.

At least now I know it really does exist.
