Just for fun:
GTR: 4655 mm x 1895 mm x 1370 mm
350Z: 4310mm x 1815 mm x 1310 mm
NSX: 4430mm x 1810 mm x 1160 mm
S2000: 4,133 mm x 1,750 mm x 1,270 mm
34GTR: 4600 mm x 1785 mm x 1358 mm
GT86: 4,240 mm x 1,775 mm x 1,285 mm
As you can see, it is substantially larger than just about any Japanese sports car out there.
Even the LFA supercar:
LFA: 4,505 mm x 1,895 mm x 1,220 mm is substantially smaller than the R35.

The GT-R is an amazing machine, even at the size. I have not had the pleasure of driving one yet, so I can't tell how big it feels, but from a numbers perspective, it just destroys the competition in speed, acceleration, and even handling. To Cozmos... that is one heck of a car you have there! Very nice sir, very nice. I've always said that if I were going to spend the money on a GT-R, I'd get a Porsche instead... but it appears you have both.

The steering feel has a nice weight and feedback to it, you can feel what the tires are doing on the road even with 3,800 pounds. Amazing to say in this way it's sort of similar to the Lotus. The car will actually power oversteer on corner exit like a RWD car and you better be ready to countersteer. If you just turn in and mash the gas you'll be sideways/backwards, it's not easy like a video game. The acceleration is brutal especially in lower gears with all that available traction. The boost comes on early and you rarely need to rev past 4K to be flying by traffic. I can't imagine what the car would feel like with 150 more whp much less the AMS Omega Kit 1600 awhp.

Forget most of what you've read in magazines, youtube etc. If you believed all that you'd think the car was a huge feeling, boring car that gives no feedback and is no fun to drive. I thought the same until I actually drove one and it's the complete opposite. From the drivers seat it doesn't feel any larger than my 335 coupe. When I drove a C6 Z06 recently I couldn't tell how wide the front of the car was and I felt like if I moved the wheel a bit I'd be intruding in the next lane on the road. The GT-R despite being bigger dimensionally doesn't give you the feeling of a wide car.
