For Arsenal's Loaded Guns.. first pick in the Asian category.. is the Nissan GTR aka: Godzilla.

2009 was the first year that this car was available to the world market. It has been the wet dream of teen age boys, and tuners alike for many years. At $80K USD MSRP, it out performs vehicles that cost twice as much.

Each engine is hand made, and no 2 engines are exactly alike.

Performance times from wiki:
Quote:
The GT-R currently holds a lap time of 1:19.7 around the Top Gear Test Track, equalling that of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
Quote:
Nissan claims the GT-R can reach a top speed of 192 mph (309 km/h),[23] Motor Trend recorded a top speed of 195.0 mph (313.8 km/h).
Quote:
With a manufacturer claimed lap time of 7:29 min on standard Japanese market tires, the GT-R is currently one of the fastest production cars to lap the Nürburgring circuit
It may not be the prettiest vehicle on the road, but it makes up for it every other area.
