First Unmasked GT-R Photo on the Cover of MotorTrend (pic)

[SRT Handz]

...Well they finally released it..... Looks like BS too me. ONLY COMES IN AUTOMATIC!!!...No 3rd Pedal FTL.....I would still Rather Take a Porsche over this in an Instant.....I CANT Believe there is no Manual

 

[smokeybear]

well that give all the import fan boys something to cheer about and us one more thing to worry about

 

[eliyarbrough]

Yeah, I don't really look on most imports!

 

[Red96GT]

If I'm going to spend $80k on a supercar it better not look like a 350z on steroids.

 

[SMOKE]

Underwhelmed by it's looks ... but, I like the stats.
I'm sure it will run! Look forward to seeing one.

Prefer the R34 .. appearance wise.

 

[SRT Handz]

still BS because of no Manual Option

 

[Dalamar]

interesting!


Another reason for a forged motor and forced induction

Friend of mine here at work is a big Nissan fan, we were just talking about this lol. He's been wanting something to beat me with for awhile. As soon as he come's back in my office I'm gonna show him this...

Pretty impressive specs on the cover, but I wouldn't call those "Corvette Killer" number's. And magazine's always seem to go faster than the rest of us....

i think it looks nice, but no standard would kill it for me, why have a fun car like that and not be able to shift

 

[Jrgunn5150]

It's gotta have some kind of tap-shift in it, like the new Evo's

 

[smokeybear]

there will be a gt-r body kit out and it will be on everthing from civics to dare i say it stangs

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Why not? people put GT-R badges on their 'Stang's now, lames

I could do better than 11s for $80k, and I'd damn sure rather have a vette or a viper for that price...fugeheduboudet

 

[wnracing]

11.7 for 80k.... Hmmm doesn't sound like much fun to me.. :gtfo:

 

[Lightning Struck]

11.7 for 80k.... Hmmm doesn't sound like much fun to me.. :gtfo:

out of my price range too

 

[94Vert]

you put 2k into a termy and your in the 11's

 

[OnyxCobra]

I think it looks pretty cool, but no manual? What do they think they're as cool as the SLR McLaren? :hammer:

The same could have been said about the old 300z's and Supra's vs. their respective Corvette counterpoints, yet they still sold.

Thats because people are idiots... most people think jap cars are the best in reliability and performance...

What a joke... the tundra = POS went compared to American made trucks... the honda ridge line... bigger joke, built on a minivan unibody, wtf is that good for?

The fact is, Jap cars are no where near as good as any similar American made car... or even european for that matter... sure, they get good mpg, but they are expensive to fix. And everyone talks about how they last forever, MYTH... yeah, so do American cars if you take care of them... I had a dodge with a slant 6 that's odometer stopped working at 500k on the original motor and drivetrain...

I don't understand why people are willing to drop that kind of money on a nissan... I really don't... never will...
