what do you guys think of the concept? I understand this is just a rough concept, but it is said that the production will look very similar but without the carbon fiber exterior parts. I am not sure if it will have the 7spd sequential or stick with the regular manual 6spd. Nor do i know aobut the interior 2seat, 4seat? Power is pretty finalized with a destroked 3.5 to 3.2l vq new engine code VQ32DETT..and twin turbo intercooled. Also I am not sure on the price yet but it is believed to be aorund ~75k..which means after tax..80k and markup(god knows how much) could be close to 90k. Would any of you justify that much for a car like this? It is said to compete with a 911 but without a 911 price range?

the part i think that is gay is
but it is said that the production will look very similar but without the carbon fiber exterior parts..

I mean that carbon fiber exterior parts make the car look sporty, sleek, sexy, well, one of a kind. I actually like the car with the CF parts on it, and I think I would hate it without the CF.

haha cal i knew youd want one.
lncrevo I totally agree with you..i would love the CF also..maybe it will be in production..nobody knows. I think it gives a nice contrast to the big bumper.

meh, its okay, i dont like the front styling but its........okay

i dont get the new futuristic styling of the new cars, to me the new GTR looks like a beefed up 350 from the front

yeah ek9 i agree its somewhat z33 looking from the front.
DOHC-dont worry i dont think I can afford mega hopups+90k car. lol

Dood... that is the 911 price range

Oh god its the SKYLINE!!!! must buy it over everything else.

I'd buy a 911 / Z06 / Viper / in that order over the over-hyped to all hell skyline.

Seriously I think some people need to get the JDM beat out of them sometimes.

Geez, there has to be at least 2 other threads about the new GTR.

Go revive one of those if you have to but please stop beating the dead horse.

sorry^ just browsed the OTHER CAR section and didnt see gtr, never searched either.
and early apex- sorry didnt classify what 911. they have models ranging from 70kcarrera to 120kturbo. I dont know what they "HYPE" your talking about is, and nor am i getting it because of the name ooooo "SKYLINE"...besides that will not even be the name. It will be called a GT-R. And the awd tt intrigues me rather then rwd viper/z06. Yes they are fast but im not in it for brute power, rather the whole package. Yes the porsche is a good substitue..but I am thinking prices for factory and after market parts will be MUCH GREATER then parts for the GTR.

All i know is that car was overhyped in the last iterations and its even more overhyped in the newest iteration that isn't even out yet.

Slow and heavy car stock. Sure it mods well. So do evos and every other turbo car in the universe.

Well..maybe at the dealership if you tell them about your "Porsche beater"..but still highly doubt it. I once said "my" and wasn't even bragging..just trying to suggest that the murcielago is equiped with a different tire then what people were saying it had....get over it e-thug.

I think this car is overhyped but its still has the formula right.. as a track car, there might be better options like bryan said.. um a viper/911 etc but what makes the evo so great?.. you can drive it like maniac on the street and its under control.. well this car has way more power, plus all that grip as well.. its the ultimate street performance car.. and that engine when modded should make some serious power.. This could be the best street racing car ever from a dig.. and thats why people will buy it, you will never lose!.. sure the evo can launch.. but its more likely to break

it looks nice and im pretty sure it performs mad hell. but a bit overpriced imo for a nissan. is it even considered a super car for an almost super car tag price?

well sometime in the future im planning to get an r34 skyline gtr if there's any left in here in the US by that time. hehe. i think i can still afford their ~$40k selling prices.

Given a choice between a 911 and the new GTR, I would personally chose the GTR because of the "exclusivity" of the vehicle in the U.S.
