lucky bastard

[SS8_Gohan]

my order was in on the 20/9

did you get any insight on price when you ordered?

[fieds83]

I got a call today from a WA dealer through whom i made some enquires earlier this year, originally he said to budget $120,000 but today informed me that $140,000+ would be more likely.

[hungry6]

LOL!!!!! the more pre order they get the higher they're gonna with the exclusivity tax.. I'm glad I pulled out a few months ago.

Honestly I was abit let down with the r35 being so heavy, no new tech, more of the same old stuff afer all this wait..

They could atleast made the front electric or build it from allum. or atleast spend some $$ try to reduce the weight. I think it a case of Nissan cashing in GTR badge.

at those number we"re talking about full size euro luxo sedan weights for a purist sport car?

[GTR R35]

Hungry,

You continue feeling good about cancelling your order, as there are many people who think you have NFI and will order one.

No new Tech ? Your kidding right ? It has a center display that has custimisable display of the car's vital functions. DSG gearbox, V6 motor, active suspension. and the list goes on

Weight reduction. the bonnet,boot, doors and guards are made from aluminimum to save weight. It has carbon fibre driveshafts and underbody protection. they have tried to reduce weight, but the AWD system and safety features all weigh a heap. Any new car road is above 1500kg just because they are safe. Unless you build the whole car from carbon fibre, the weight will always be a problem.

Your view on the GTR badge, must be viewed though rose coloured glasses. This car has managed to bet most cars around the true drivers circuit that cost over twice as much. Nissan has managed to deliver on a promise they made 6 years ago, buy giving us a car that is well priced and an awsome drive. It will not suite everyones tastes in styling or perfomance, but I am sure as hell gonna keep my spot, as I will be one of the first to get one. For $150,000 I cannot buy a new M3, but I can get a true GTR supercar.

[SS8_Gohan]

GTR R35 is dead right. Mate you have your head in the sand if you reckon there is no new tech on this car. (DSG by the way isn't new tech)

Have you seen what you get with the car standard??? No freakin wonder it ways 1700kg. There is A LOT of stuff you can ditch. With a CF bonnet, Titanium exhaust and ditching quite a few of the luxuries... 100-150kg could be found and i reckon that's what will see in the track versions. This car has a lot of weight to shed if you really wanted to, it's just giving Nissan room to move by piling everything into the standard one.

It still laps the Ring quicker than a lighter 997 Turbo, so the weight factor is vastly reduced with that performance.

[NISMO]

Well put guys.

Been reading alot of forums on this car, and really sick to death of people saying weight is too high. Too high for what??

The cars performance stats (if real) suggest that weight doesn't hinder it on any level what so ever.

As for no new technology, compared to what. Nothing new compared to a $500k lambo maybe, but a hell of a lot new compared to $150k car in almost any category.

I've said it before, I can understand people knocking the looks, but people knocking it's performance,weigth etc without driving the car, really need to get a grip.

[White GTS-T]

Here's a question. If you did have one would you modify it, and if so what?

[funkymonkey]

one of the few cars that challenge the GTR on bang for buck is the Corvette Z06, and look at the tech in that car.

[R32zilla]

I dont think the GTR will remain standard for long.

You can see that 500KW would be easily attainable in light-tune configuration...which would translate to flat 11's and the ability to corner!

[hungry6]

Just to put thing in perspective, yes the GTR is abit of a let down after all the hype, it is no doubt a fast car, but after all that hype? and for the record, Nar I dont regretting cancelling my order.

On another note, I was one of the people who bought the original R32 oz delivered one, yes,, since then I have owned and driven some notable car that has somewhat questionable tech. obviously they cost more, I would have been happy to see the GTR break $200k and brings a wad load of technology with it, but that is all history now..

Just to set the record, I'm currently drive a 2007 F430 Ferrari F1: Audi RS6: 375hp atw 05 WRX :572atw R33GTS with Rb26DET and a few other odd bits and pieces

Previous car RS4,GT2,F355,R32,33,34GTR, just a few of my previous encounter, or do you want me to name more?

Yes I know what I'm talking about.

As or tech. The RS6 has a navigation system that operated on a back to base in the event of an accident and the airbags are deployed, it automatically calls 000 and give them your GPS co-ordinates, and it has a solar panel as a sunroof which charges your car and keep a fan going on hot day to reduce the interior temp down.

I'm not sure of what hi tech the F430 carries, but it goes around crn plenty quick for a RWD

pfffft... ur my hero

[SS8_Gohan]

hungry, this is how much i read of your post....

Just to put thing in perspective, yes the GTR is abit of a let down after all the hype

that was it... i didn't need to waste my time reading anymore as all that would follow would surely be drivel, judging from your posts in other R35 GTR threads

Mate, you sound to me just like a keyboard warrior aching for attention. Were your grades that bad this year at school that you've just not bothered finishing out this year, hence, it's school holidays already?

What was the hype? i believe it centred strongly around "could it be such a monster of a car such as the 997 turbo, and for less than half the price?" that's the hype surrounding this car. Can it mix it as a TRUE supercar, the likes of which the 997 turbo is it's closest neighbour... 2 secs quicker around a damp 'Ring track is not only living up to the hype, it is SURPASSING IT!

A toyota aurion has the same emergency feature. so what?

[luke james]

Who gives a shit about weight its a GTR does 11's and is standard with shit loads of potential bring it on awsome car oh and looks wicked to

[R32zilla]

F430...nannas car

[sh@un]

when was the last time you saw a grey-haired woman driving one?

[GTR R35]

Hungry,

Did you notice the "Carwings" button located on the dash of the GTR ?

It is a back to base GPS system, the girl on the end of the line will even blow you...does your Audi do that ?

The GTR has a disk drive nav and audio system, so I can download my music to the car. This is new as is the 2 MoFo subs in the Bose sound system.

I am happy with my choice, I am also glad I have not wasted as much money as you on buying many exotic cars, even if they were all made by Biante.
