The difference between a Falcon and an FPV pale in comparison to the differences between a non GT-R and a GT-R skyline.
Also, an R32 is produced as a sport car from the factory there is no base model that is just an A - B sedan, even the NA Auto ones are technically a sports car, because you are right, it's not just all about speed.
And I would rather drive a cranky GT-R over an FPV anywhere, I am a masochistic individual though.
