GT SPORT: R34 vs R35

The R34 Skyline GT-R is no doubt the best Japanese sportscar emerged from the early years of the Heisei era while the R35 GT-R is the best modern Heisei era Japanese sportscar ever made. For the climax of this Heisei-ending tribute, the two best Heisei era sportscars are now clashing for the grand finale to decide which is the best Heisei era sportscar.



For five decades, the GT-R has been the pinnacle of the history of Japanese sports cars since the first Skyline H/T 2000GT-R of 1969 and with the best examples representing the Heisei era, the R34 Skyline GT-R and the R35 GT-R, this will be the ultimate firecrackers to celebrate not just the end of this wondrous era but for five more decades of Nissan's fire-breathing monster that earned the Godzilla nickname by speedo boys worldwide.

So, how should I stage the last dance for the best Heisei era Japanese sportscars? There's only one venue I know and this venue is the one that staged the Japanese Grand Prix rather than Fuji.



The Suzuka Circuit is the perfect battleground for these two Godzillas as this time attack on GT SPORT will decide once and for all who will be crowned the best Heisei era car.

Without further ado, it's time to engage the climax revue for two of the best cars from the Heisei era.



After the endgame in Suzuka, here are the results...

R34 - 2:37.494
R35 - 2:25.138



Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare the Nissan GT-R R35 as the best Japanese sportscar of the Heisei era.

The R35 Nissan GT-R is no doubt the best Japanese sportscar of the Heisei era. Revived in 2007, received numerous updates every year, gained two minor changes in 2010 and 2016, upsetting every single supercar in the world, such work of art really made the R35 GT-R a powerhouse masterpiece Nissan ever created and although this car keeps getting better and better all the time, there's one thing I can say about this car; the perfection of this machine can't be improved and that is why the Nissan GT-R R35 is the best Heisei era car of all time.

Now that the Heisei era is well and truly over, what will Godzilla's next step will be in this brave new era they called Reiwa? Only time will tell.

Arigatou, Heisei!
