Godzilla (GT-R) is pretty much the Blue Collar sledgehammer to the automotive aristocracy known as Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari

If you're talking from a strict performance standard, I can think of two cars that'll give a Murcielago a run for its money: Nissan GT-R and 2008 Dodge Viper. If you're talking about reputation, only the GT-R could create as much hype among the American population (well the Viper is arguable but that's my opinion).

That reminded me of a vid where a GT-R was going around 100 mph on the Autobahn and halfway though the vid a Mini Cooper S just flies past it.
