The problem was, they were illegal in the U.S. This is the story of the people who wanted it anyway. It's the story of the people who evaded authorities and tangled with regulators. It's a story about video games and anime, The Fast and the Furious, and the dark origins of U.S.-Japan relations. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Slow Car Fast in 2019, author Ryan ZumMallen parses through this complicated world to go inside the GT-R community -- both in the U.S. and Japan. Informed by his experiences behind the wheel, and deep in courthouse basements, Cult of GT-R moves as briskly as the street racers who pushed the Skyline to its limit. and beyond. The Nissan Skyline GT-R was a giant-killer. It dominated the 1990s - on the track, in illegal street racing, and even video games. But the GT-R was never allowed in the U.S. Some risked everything to own one. All for the cult of GT-R.
