I guarantee this car will be significantly HEAVIER than the “7 litre us tank” referred to! Z06 Corvette weighs in at 3150 lb., this will be at least 3400. I’d bet money it will also be SLOWER around any race track.

To tell the truth, I’d rather see a new Silvia (which we haven’t had in the U.S. since ‘98)!

This thing is a bit “much of muchness” imho.

Less is more!

Theres another thread posted recently with pics of the car without the car bra and hiding stuff but I think it is still labeled as the prototype.

Its not that much of a stretch of the imagination.

The current Z06 runs a 7:43 around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. That's significantly faster than a 996 Turbo, a 415hp / 3800lb AWD car with a purpose-built chassis and a lot of money thrown into performance R&D.

That said, I don't think Nissan will be happy with the GT-R until it holds the lap record for a "reasonable" production car (I don't count the Radical SR8 as "reasonable", even though technically it is a production car). And the 996 is a generation old, now, but I don't have the times for the 997 Turbo. It should have cracked the 40's by now, since the old 996 Turbo / light tune R34 ran a 7:51 or so.

I think the next GT-R will be quicker than the Z06 on the track, but given the sheer pace of the Z06 its not going to be your typical "AWD turbo terror vs Yank Tank" battle, especially in the hands of drivers who know how to make a car go around a track fast.

The real thing looks the goods thats for sure.

The one problem I can see with this is, nissan isnt seen as a premium brand, therefore the people with the money are going to be hard pressed to justify spending the dollars to buy it, as it doesnt have the 'badge'. Because really a clubman will go around a track as quick as a porka at a fraction of the cost, and a VK with a worked V8 in it will go in a straight line faster at a fraction of the cost. But the people with the money wouldnt do that as they dont have the badge. Ones a mechano set the other is well a commodoore.

But yeah, good luck to it. Its definately got all the good gear.

people still thinking it's a Skyline after it's been explained it's NOT a million times, others thinking there is going to be a V8 for the US market only? no... they're idiots :)

Other sites are linking to 2005-dated information saying it'll be badged Infiniti over there as well.

Its almost the end of 2006, for Christ's sake.

I love it how people are still quoting the info I posted from back in 2004:

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/10/09/spi...08-nissan-gt-r/

Rumours have indicated the car will feature a 3.2 liter twin turbo V6 engine with 480hp.

Which lets face it, isnt most americans who think in 1/4mile and not much else, guess theres the handful of people outside of NASCAR that actually know how too turn right as well as left.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
