I am convinced on the GT-R
I don't know when, I dont know exactly how but after reading all the reviews I just have to do it.. the first year or two will probably be impossible to obtain one with the premium but after then... expect one in all black to be in Douglasville.

This picture, is badass!
Sure the car is fast and all... But if I had the money I don't think I would buy one.. Or If i did I would just leave it basically stock... but stock is boring.
pretty cool car, but at the end of the day its still a nissan. Ask a girl what a nissan GTR is, and they dont know. Ask them what a porsche is, and any girl will know.
Land Rover LR3 HSE
Soon more people will know what a skyline is
True... but honestly I could care less about impressing girls, I can do that on my own without needing a fast, expensive car.Originally Posted by allmotoronly
Once again another reputable source raving about what an amazing vehicle this is. Cant wait to see what happens after a few production years when this baby is really dialed in.
thats the problem who cares about what girls say.cause real women don't care what it is they just want to no how fast will it go
I'd hit it!
yes sir, very true about girls not knowing about a GTR, but again, all they need to know is the guy who is driving
definitely can't wait to see how it turns out after a few years
Good read, but it's got me wanting another car I can't afford
this picture said it all.
this picture said it all.
That picture says lol @ the Japanese pos playing with a real car. A car that actually looks good.
The new GTR is ugly, no matter what the reviews say about its performance I would take a Porsche over that ALLLLL day long.
Amen to that.
I wouldn't own that overpriced Jap crap.
If I'm going to spenk 70K its going to be on a new Z06
Your performance will be less, you will be more common, and you will have more issues with reliability. For the same price. I like Corvettes, but what they keep putting out...
Yeah, **** looks like a stretched Master Chief helmet with wheels.
Lol. I wouldnt be that harsh on the new GTR. It is simply an awesome car but of course its no Porsche or a look-a-like. It does outperform many Porsches including the Turbo 911 on the track as J. Clarkson said, but nothing can compare or imitate the upper range of Porsche cars.
The car just doesn't look all that appealing to me.
70,000 dollars is a little crazy for a nissan even if it is a skyline
name another car for 70,000 that can do 0-60 in 3.3 seconds70,000 dollars is a little crazy for a nissan even if it is a skyline
are the unpainted parts of the front end carbon fiber like the concepts suggest?
yes but with the performance that this thing exhibits it should cost $400,000 it has been said by road and track car and driver and even by ceo of nissan. This car is the best bang for the buck at $70,000 the Z07 is not that great and yet that car is going to be a 100k. Also don't forget ther are still two more versions of the gtr that are coming out that will be even better than this and they will still be sub 100k. The same thing could also be said about the Ford GT. 100k for a Ford quality product70,000 dollars is a little crazy for a nissan even if it is a skylinebut 70k for a Nissan

I find it hilarious about how everyone says they'll take the GTR over <insert sports car here> when the fact is maybe 0.5% of the ppl that say they will get one can actually afford one.
Second off, it's a Z06, not a Z07. The new Corvette is called ZR1. The C6Z06 would trample the GTR. The GTR might start putting up a fight from 0-60 but it definitely won't finish it.
what does it matter if someone can afford one or not. so your saying that just because i can't afford a supra i can't have an opinion on it. Be real.
And forgive me that I got the name of the car wrong but ummm where the hell are you getting your info?Last I checked the GTR beat the Z06 around the Nurburgring by 10 seconds.

That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. You don't own one, haven't owned one, haven't modded one, driven one to it's full potential against another car so how can you lay claim to it being the best car for $70k?
You are the definition of a fanboy.
no one will beat the gtr with the price and performance.
**** that is an ignorant statement.
Its a AWD car.
If you put race tires on a AWD car it picks up a couple of seconds at a Road Atlanta, if you put race tires on a rwd car it picks up five or six seconds.
I've got news for you, A Bone Stock Z06 on Race Tires VS a GTR on Race Tires....the Vette will smoke it.
Not to start a flame fest here because you may be right but.. the car isn't even out yet so I'm curious as to how you come to that conclusion? Because its AWD?
I'm not one of these people that thinks the new GT-R is gods gift to the road, I actually didnt want to like it but the more I read the more I can appreciate what it is. Its not even so much the performance or it can beat this or that.. I just feel on a daily basis it would keep a smile on my face in different ways. Its basically everything I wanted in a TT G35 and then some, others may want it because of the numbers or its faster than a 911 Turbo.. personally I could care less.
Yes because its AWD, first you have to understand how many cars I have driven on track. I instruct with a lot of diffrent clubs and I've owned and driven quite a few fast cars.r
AWD Cars utilize the available grip better than a rwd car...thats why they are faster on street tires than a RWD car.
I'm willing to bet a Z06 on Slicks is faster than a GTR on Slicks at Road Atlanta.
^Are you kidding????
I love it. I don't care if it isn't the porsche and I'm not a fan of Vettes. This is what I'd get if I had the money (or the next true rotary sports car when Mazda makes it).
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
997 turbo is sick no doubt, If i had the money to spend on it I would but being realistic if I was in a position to buy a new car I would consider the skyline without hesitation.
Learning everyday.
Skyline FTW. end of discussion.
well ive never driven a GTR or a C6 Z06
but i can say in exterior the Vette wins
and y is this only between the vette and GTR? what bout the new Viper coming out,and for the money i think the best car is a elise
What about the Mercedes C63? Its going to be a beast as well.
6.2 Liter V8, 450hp, and only ~$60,000! Well worth considering as well!

yea,and so is the CTS-V and SLK55 AMG........both great cars,but i think they would fall be low them on the track.or i could be wrong,but id deff rock a slk55 over the vette and GTR
ehhh, i've had my fun with a roadster. I don't think i could own one again. Too impracticle for everday driving. As for the cts-v, looks superb but I dont think I would purchase a new Cadillac.
Learning everyday.
rumor is the new V may have the LS9 out of the ZR1
New M3 smacks it around on the track, proof provided if you want.What about the Mercedes C63? Its going to be a beast as well.

Yes I'm quite aware of that but this thing would be soo much fun to drive everyday! I don't plan on becoming a racecar driver so I wouldn't spend much time on the track as I would driving to and from work everday powersliding every turn i get :P
