Internet, bear witness to a legend. The car that crushed its competitor to smithereens and made way for the greatest motoring nameplates in history: Godzilla. It"s the Nissan R32 Skyline. But you knew that already. The absurdly wide, crazy cambered ripsnorting twin-turbo, six-cylinder monster that was so advanced (four-wheel steer with computer-controlled torque split) and dominant, it was slowed down by being told to put on some pounds and wear skinnier tyres.And when we say dominant, we don"t mean winning the majority of races. We mean all the races. On home soil in Japan, the GT-R entered the All Japan Touring Car Championship and vanquished the opposition by winning 29 races from 29 starts across four seasons of total, unprecedented dominance.In Australia, Nissan hot shoes Jim Richards and Mark Skaife won the 1990, 1991 and 1992 Group A championships what we now know as V8 Supercars plus the "91 and "92 Bathurst 1000 races.
