Samuel Piazza chose the 1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 because it's the original Godzilla. The R32 GT-R was the pinnacle of import sports cars and with it's sexy classic looks and high performance, the R32 was a hard car to beat. For Piazza, this was always one of his dream cars, and when the opportunity came up to own a Truly Legal Motorex GT-R, how could he say no. The car turns heads anywhere and everywhere it goes. Being a car that was never sold in the U.S., it has one of the biggest cult followings of any vehicle.
