Other Choices:

Like some vice-presidential picks, the GT-R has laid low some well-thought-out plans for world domination with its scorching power and deft handling. The most attuned competitors are the new 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 will push it to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, 0.3 second faster than the Corvette Z06, according to GM; it'll hit 100 mph in 7.0 seconds, turn in quarter-mile times of 11.3 seconds at 131 mph, and charge to a claimed top speed of 205 mph, all for a price tag some $20,000 higher than the GT-R—and minus two seats. The 911 Turbo punches out 480 horsepower for $125,000—and offers itself in convertible trim for buyers who want the top-down driving experience at nearly 200 mph.

    GT-R

    This car is still european, Renault owns a very large portion of Nissan and hence the injection of so much into Nissan, and Renaults are very famous for turbocharging. Renault ELF has also been very popular and powerful in formula 1 for a very long time.
