Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
New for 2009! Very nice looking, and I am sure will have a hefty price tag. What do you think?

Re: Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
As of right now the GT-R laps the Ring faster than 3 or 4 super cars that cost 4 or 5 times its cost. It also lapped the ring faster than latest Z06....not to sure about the up coming ZR1 though...that will be a treat.

Re: Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
There was an article in the Popular Mechanics that showed up in my mail yesterday. 475HP, supposedly designed for function, not form. Things like the little breaks in the "C" pillars, supposedly help with downforce on the rear wheels, etc.

Re: Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
Yeah. They say the GT-R has Porsche shaking in their boots... Uh huh... Porsche is just about the only car company with seriously black ink at the end of the year, and growing. Shaking? I think not. And again, if money's no object, my choice would still be the GT3. Realistically, I can't afford either, so it all remains just a dream......

 That's the 64,000 dollar question. So....since they're both a pipe dream, yeah I'd vote the Porsche into my imaginary garage. What kid didn't want one growing up. What big kid (like me) still doesn't? But dayum, that's one wicked fast Nissan!

Re: Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
Last I saw in Autoweek I do believe, the Price tag was going to be closer to 80K! OUCH.
I would love one, but not going to happen.

Re: Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
The only reason that magazine called it a "Corvette Killer" (Motortrend magazine by the way) is to sell copies. I don't know how it "kills" the corvette when it goes from 0-60 .2 seconds faster and runs the exact same 1/4 mile (11.7 sec). The GT-R ran a 7:38 to the Z06s 7:42 around the Nurburgring. By no means am I trashing the GT-R, I think its a freakin awesome car. But, to call it a "Corvette Killer" is stretching it out there a bit...
My heart is set (and always has been) on the Z06 ever since it's debut is 1963. With the new Corvette ZR1 coming out (2900 lbs. and 650+ hp) things will get very interesting in the Supercar world. Also, they're finally ditching the piece of crap Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on the current Z06 and replacing them with a much better (and stickier) Michelin Pilot tire for the ZR1. I love it when cars as amazing as the Z06 and GT-R come out for 1/3 to 1/2 the price of other supercars and wipe them clean at their own game.

Re: Seen the New Nissan GT-R?
Once it starts raining it will be killing that Corvette
 Well, provided that the tires are similar.After driving an STi and Evo for the last few years (pre-Titan), I have a soft place in my heart for a turbocharged, awd vehicle. Let's hope the engine is stout enough to allow a little modification... like getting rid of that twin turbo setup in a hurry in place of a fat single  As far as the argument of "$80,000 for a Nissan?", that's the kind of thinking that forces us to water down sports cars with luxury and weight just to satisfy someone's lack of self confidence with a brand badge ("acura" "lexus" "infiniti"). Now granted this GTR has it's own bit of luxury, they're going for almost a grand-touring style car, but as far as price, you could say the same thing regarding the Viper or (z06) Corvette now that their prices have gone up over the years. And also, the level of technology in this car is pretty impressive; let's hope it's reasonably reliable Gotta start saving my pennies! Can't wait for some better US specs on the website. |
