LOL i bet all the z06, viper and domestic fanboys are still gonna try 2 say its not as fast 0-60 as a z06. I love it!!! Once again Japanese engineering beats american bucket of bolts. Ok lets go in on it, so far 3 souls is the going rate, i think once we hit 5-6 we have a chance.

It's a really impressive car.

That being said, I'm excited to see what the new Z06 ZR1 will be like.

Zr1=600+? I dunno how it will compare to this GTR, but the vette is supposed to be overpowering all cars of its time ? maybe a bunch of crap but...

i heard about $70k some reports say as low as $65k and as high as $79k. either way a steal if the zr1 is $100k. And a mark up of $10k i bet will be on there sticker for the first 6-8 months.

Really? I think its just like the r34 just without the lenses around the red circles now. I mean and the R34 and the new gt-r at night the lights look the same.

I dunno, it's definately fast, and definately sexy, but paddle shifters? you could buy an MKIV supra TT and drop the 35K price difference into it and have a lot better than an 11 second 1/4 mile.

Even if I had bill gates' money I would never buy one. A: Nissan cars are never worth over 50k in my eyes. B: It looks horrid. C: I would rather buy 75k worth of RX2s,RX3s,FBs,FCs,FDs.



I also remember reading a guy at MIR in a C6 ZO6 hit the 10s with a stock car.

Agreed! You guys are comparing a staight line monster (Z06/ZR1/ whatever and Supra(drag purpose built)) with a car that actually can take turns as fast as anything. Its 18 seconds faster then the Ferrari F430 (which is a handling delight)and 21 seconds faster then the Dodge Viper SRT10 (the car which the Z06/ZR1 competes with) around the Ring.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention:

That was on a semi wet track. Just imagine what it would do on a dry summer day smile.gif

well hey, if you took some of that 35K you were putting into the supra into suspension and maybe went with a slightly smaller, quick spooling turbo, and I'm sure it'd do pretty good. maybe not as good as the skyline, but who knows? in the end, at least you actually get to drive the supra and not just let it practically drive you.

False.


Sport Auto lap time comparisons:
Ferrari F430 F1: 7:55 seconds
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano: 7:47 seconds
Porsche 997 911 Turbo : 7:54 seconds
Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06: 7:49 seconds
Ford GT:7:52 seconds
Nissan GTR: 7:50 seconds

From www.rennteam.com
Sportauto with the famous driver Horst has driven the new Skyline on N-ring.
*7:50 --- 157.787 km/h -- Nissan GT-R, 480 PS/1750 kg, Horst von Saurma, partially wet track (sport auto 12/07)*

The original 7:38 listed was not in production form. Nissan CEO stated that himself. It was close to production form but not finalized. (Trying to find the damn link that had his comments in it. )

We will see what it lays down in production form when Top Gear gets their hands on it.

In the mean time. If I want to drive something with a 1,000 computers in it, I'll just turn on my PS3.

I'll never touch a Nissan.. That car is way over-priced and over-hyped.. Let's see how it is fairing in a few years, if there are any major recalls and how they actually hold up. Not to mention they are fugly too.

I'll take the Vette any day.
87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

Not to mention the ZR1's body is practically all carbon fiber. hood, fenders, roof, trunklid. yeah, there is a reason it costs $100,000. Because people will dish out $100,000 for a corvette before they dish out 65-70k for a ...nissan.
