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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
