WHY does everyone seem let down by the GTR

[alpine_aw11]

It's because of how they designed the car. It doesn't resemble the older Skylines in any way. It's not a car you can maintain yourself at low cost, and it's loaded with electronics that take away from the true experience of driving that the R34 and before had. It's just too radical of a change from the older models for most to accept.

GTR's have NEVER been cheap cars. And hell even Skylines are a pretty penny. Gtr's have ALWAYS! had electronics. The R34..has just as much Technology as the 35 has. Its not radical..... i dont think you all really looked into it. The R35's interior is almost identical to the 34's setup from the dash, to the gauge, to the Navigation unit.






34

35



The gtr is obviously bigger, but ther is no newer generation of car that looses weight. Its just not gonna happen... safety equipment and technology is heavy. But they are very much similar, the front ends, are the biggest difference, btu the overall profile is so so similar!

The r34 is only 3oolbs lighter than the 35..

What? the R34 weighed a ton compared to the competition and has TONs of electronics. Every GT-R from the R32 on got bigger, heavier with more gizmos.

The R35 continued that tradition. The GT-R never has been about purity but about technology overcoming physics.

Who is let down by the GT-R? Maybe 12 people? EVery review and every person loves it, even if they feel its a lil detached (steering) but it ALWAYS has been like that.

Demand is huge, Nissan can't build enough.
