Godzilla Reclaims #1 as GT-R Voting Surges Overnight

It happened the way it always does on RateMyRide: quietly, then all at once. At 2:14am JST the Pearl White R33 known as “Godzilla” was sitting a comfortable second. By sunrise it had added more than 9,000 votes and bumped the American Outlaw Chevelle off the summit.

Crews have learned that the leaderboard rewards momentum. A car that climbs gets featured; a featured car gets seen; a seen car climbs further. The RB26 faithful know this better than anyone, and they organised.

“We don’t sleep, the car doesn’t sleep,” said the owner, who goes by rb26_kenji. “People said the R35 made the old GT-Rs irrelevant. The board disagrees.”

Whether the muscle camp responds tonight is the only question that matters. History says they will.
