The news always presents it with an obsession on straight-line power and speed. But there's way more to it than that. Nissan has made numerous refinements in the suspension, steering, and tranny. I was impressed with the car from day one but what's just as impressive is that the design still has such unhacked potential even 3 years down the line. Amazing!

You are not alone, I am not impressed either.
Cars made this amount of HP back in the 60s in the muscle car's days, the elapsed time just gotten A LOT shorter due to excellent computer controlled launch control, 4WD grip and gapless shifting dual clutch tranny.
The rate of acceleration really haven't change in 50 years
If you stay in one gear and go WOT from a roll, the 2013 Nissan GTR is not any faster then a 1960 big block muscle car.

Plus vehicle safety. If you crash an R35 GTR at 100 mph (160 km/h), you might make it out alive.
Do that in a car from 40-50 years ago and the whole car will disintegrate........along with you
