It's the same in Germany the Turbo Porsche is only slightly more the the R35.....but the fact here is that they cost twice as much as the R35
A 911 Turbo costs quite a bit more actually.
R35 GT-R 83 000 Euro
911T 143 000 euro.

(edit) As to how i know... like i sad eariler a family member worked over there for 4 months and eneded up buyign a car rather than renting... He commented when he got back that he could have bought a ZR1 for 80k, as they had them in the showroom at the chev dealership with fluro marker pen on the wind screen... Like all chevs at the moment you can buy one for 15 to 25% off RRP...
Having worked in sales now for 11 years, when a product becomes aged or slow moving many retailers and wholesalers will go well and truly below their cost price just to get stock to turn over... It happens every day here in Australia also, just not to the extent of the US car market is right now...
I VERY much doubt you could get a ZR1 for 80k, someones telling porkies. The base ZR1 is listed at 105K, so that 's US25k off MSRP!!!
I'm sure these guys would like to know how to get one at that price.

Well, if you don't want to know what the time was then don't click this link because it has been updated with the GT-R's lap time.

Jokes aside, think about this. How and when did Holden come up with the thought that they could charge this amount of money for a car based on the assumptions that Aussies will gobble it up because of Brockie, Skafie, the Mountain and grunt?
Thats pretty f**kin arrogant if you ask me.
Holden had a Monaro concept at a Motor show a couple of years ago that used the Corvette C6R engine and lot's of other race goodies and said it would cost around $250 000, they were taking deposits left, right and center and stopped at 50 but then can canceled the program.
That is where they knew they had a market for this car, I bet they could even sell it for over $200 000 and still sell them all.

Targa Tasmania next month should settle it...... 3 Z06's entered fighting one 35 GTR, go down the "Modern" entries here, and all with be virtually standard cars;
Wow, I didn't even know there were three Z06's in Australia, let alone competing in Targa.
Have they competed in Targas before? I've never noticed them.

Doesn't the GTR smash into it's speed limited at 3/4 track ???
Nope, R&T had the first US spec GT-R, so no speed cut.

So is this the real deal or is it a photochop?
Well, since that article is almost a YEAR old, it's just speculation. Nissan has not mentioned ANYTHING about a EVO version, there will only be a V-Spec and all we know is that it will have more power, less weight, better aero.
Considering the V-Spec will have no rear seats, more carbon fiber I can't see how an 'EVO' version could top that.

Was on the xr6T forum today. They were comparing the new F6 with the w427. There speculating the F6 will have around 600nm of torque and about 320-330kw, compared to the w427 with 370kw and 650nm? torque. the F6 will probably cost 1/2 the price and may actually keep up with the w427.
Now I think the R35 doesnt weigh all that much less than the F6 and w427. It has less torque than both and its power figure sits in the middle of both.
Would it be reasonable to say that the F6 or the w427 could out accelerate the R35 if they were rolling and did not loose traction?
Im not too keen on anything with 7L but the F6 with launch control could be a ball tearer.
No way will the F6 come out with 320+kw, try 300...and no they won't compete with the GT-R.

Would be great if they lured him away from Porsche.
Nissan makes a 911T beater then steals their main driver from under their noses.
-
had a look through posts since feb 13 and couldn't see anything stating specific details such as these.
That's because it's 2+ month old news .

no it wont. no one much outside of australia cares what happens in australia. we are a tiny market and are also geographically isolated from the rest of the world. selling a de-tuned version here wont mean bugger all to all their customers in US, UK and Asia. I agree it will be very dissapointing if it happens, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility.
Nissan has said the 911T is it's main rival and has benchmarked it against the GT-R the whole way through it's development. How is it meant to compete with said car if it's detuned???
I can't see nissan advertising it as a 911T beater with a disclaimer saying (only in japan, not the rest of the world).
It doesn't make sense.

We'll you can't just say it's Nissan. Think of the NSX, EVO and STi's as well....
But it was funny because he was doing the big talk on the microphone saying "Well we don't know the specs of the Aussie car - but the Japanese version does 0-100 in 3.6s, Nurburgring in blah blah blah". It was almost like he was trying to slip the 1st sentence in un-noticed. lol It was one of the main reasons I went and had a chat to him!
It would be very disappointing if Nissan Australia detunes the car but I can't see Nissan Japan allowing a detuned version of the GT-R, it would really hurt the cars reputation as a GLOBAL supercar..... The UK are getting the full spec and so is canada/USA (and they have worse fuel then us), I can't see it happening. Maybe he is referring to the suspension specs? I know that the USA are getting a revised version to be more 'user friendly'.

BUMP
still have these sitting around. very cheap!!

You know, before the FG was released I always said I would trade in my F6 for the newer model but i'm really loving the G6E now, same power as my current typhoon but with all the luxuries!

Another video to enjoy.
http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetevovideo...orsche_gt3.html
Apparently, in the next issue of EVO magazine (out on march 5th) they test the GT-R against the Z06 on the drag strip, the GT-R against the GT3 on the track (video clip) and the GT-R against the R8 on the road.
Can't wait to grab that Mag!

its not there yet
That's because it's only just after midday there.
Don't get your hopes up for a 15 minute review with track times etc. Apparently it's only a short review and jason plato was impressed, he loved the DSG but was a bit nit picky, mentions a bit of understeer.
Going to have to wait for a while longer until Nissan provides 5th gear and Top Gear with a GT-R to really flog (the one driven by plato is a customers imported GT-R which is the first one in the UK)

This is probably the best and honest review so far.
Everyone has a cry and says the GT3 is a better competitor to the GT-R then the 911TT. Well here's a test between them.

Cars in the US are dirt cheap. I'm here in the US right now.
To give you an idea:
2007 Corvette Z06 - $68,500 AUD
Don't know where you go that price from, Z06's sell for $70 000 US (S81 000 AUD)with not option or dealer mark ups.
-
if its only just beating the zo6 it wont have any chance with that
its lighter
more powerful
and actually has decent suspension
The ZR1 is actually heavier then the Z06, by around 150kg. The V-spec would give it a run i suppose but hey, we're all guessing aren't we?
Adm R35 Does 10.8 @127mph
