    So they detune it on purpose just so we can spend more cash in the aftermarket to make more hp??? Does that sound retarted or retarted?

    Learning everyday.

    I'm sure they're gonna want wayyy to much for this nissan.
    I wouldn't consider $69k overpriced for a car that outperforms $100K +++++ cars in almost all aspects.

    I love the styling of the new GT-R, and would love to have one, but the chances of it out performing the Z06 when it arrives is very slim. For $80K, I'd rather buy the Z06, which has one of the largest aftermarkets available and plenty more performance potential to back it up.
