[FORCEFED RB26DETT]

yep sure is one ugly car  

/sarcasm

Yep, sure is, looks like a peice of shit if you ask me.

I'll tell you what's not to like, it looks like garbage and doesn't have the previous aggression and street cred that all the previous GTR's claimed. I think the modell should be recalled and all of them destroyed, let a straight person design it next time.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Mate your a hard man.

Your going on about the new GTR that won't be seen or built for another 2 years yet you want all of them destroyed.

We are talking about the present Skyline GT coupe here.

Yeah the V35 is ugly look at these cops even with a bodykit they're not aggressive. But it will do for me it's the kit I have on order

I disagree i reckon this new Skyline rocks.The VQ35 absolutely demoralises the RB26,that to me is a more of a factor than looks alone.Let the good times roll. :lol:

Didn't mean it in a bad way.It's just my opinion.Anyway you can't beat a Clevo these days with some real good Hi-po parts out on the market it's GAME OVER

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Didn't take it in a bad way mate.

Welcome to the forums

Most of us appreciate all performance cars here

[BreathLess]

looks like a 350Z if u ask me

[skyline xtx]

hmm, stove top tail lights

And the front end on this new one is just too friendly looking. It's saying, I won't bite.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yea gotta miss the stoves

[R34]

yea gotta miss the stoves 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

They're still there mate

[silva33]

I saw one left hand drive this week and they look great!!! very similar to a 350z

[LANFOH]

I reckon the V35 GTR will look quite different compared to the coupe any way. Im thnk ink that the V35 coupe is like the gtst version of hte old gtr. Expect the famous stove lights and flared guards........something to look forward to in 2007 (I hope).

You can beat a clevo these days mate, thats for sure. Fords have taken the direction of "trying to be cool" and it just aint working. I think most people would have to agree that the tryhard attitude of Ford these days isnt paying off. I know i would prefer a GT-R than an FPV-GT any day of the week. By the way Holden still kick Fords ass.

Looks like just another 350Z. And the 350Z looks like an AUDI sports car.

[R34]

Well I like them so much I bought one.

You say it looks like a 350Z like that's a bad thing.

I have owned my '05 350GT Coupe now for about 2 weeks and it gets better and better the more I learn it. I'm in my mid to late 20's and was after a sports car that could also stretch its legs out and be enough like a tourer that I could drive Sydney-Melbourne or Sydney-Brisbane without requiring physio at the end of it.

I test drove Porsche Boxsters, Merc SLK350's, Nissan 350Z, Mazda RX-8, Lexus IS250, BMW 330Ci and a few other variants. Badge was of no consequence to me at the end of the day, I just wanted a car that was right. I owned a '03 Audi 1.8T Quattro and decided it was time for something new. Out of all the cars I drove, the ones that fit my requirements best were the 350Z and the 330Ci. Why? Well ...

Boxster was fantastic to drive but after an hour or so you started to feel the offset seating position in your back. No storage space for long drives and obviously a 2-seater ... not good for road trips to Bulldogs games!

SLK350 was a poor version of the Boxster ... same limitations although a fraction more comfortable. Not as good a drive.

RX-8 just didn't cut it for me. Drove reasonably well, but looked like a kitted-up Mazda 6 IMHO and just didn't grab me.

Lexus IS250 is an executive tourer ... not for me.

I didn't want another Audi ... don't ask why, too complicated to explain.

The 330Ci was nice, and I was almost convinced except for the fact that every man and his dog with disposable income drives one and I hate that fact.

The 350Z was the car I wanted, but the lack of extra seats made me hesitate. The only thing that drove better noticeably was the Boxster ... the 330Ci was great to drive but took away too many of the dynamics for my liking ... something the 350Z doesn't do if you get the Track variant.

I stumbled across the 4-seater 350GT Coupe by accident in Drummoyne, had a drive, found it to be fantastic and a better drive than the 350Z and I immediately sort out a way of importing one. Haven't looked back since.

Mine has a few mods to it ... basically suspension and exhaust with some minor interior tweaks. I have the blue coupe in 6spd manual (obviously!). The exhaust mod lifts the output to closer to 230kW from the standard 221kW.

For what I was after, it really was the only choice. Having driven quite a few Boxster's and Boxster S's I must say that this car is nearly every bit as good a drive with the suspension and exhaust mods. And at less than half the price, you really can't go wrong.

I am not a fan of the sedan shape though ... it's got to be coupe or bust in my opinion.

Good stuff Fender. nice choice. A great combination IMO of style and sportiness. Can you explain how it drove better than the 350z. not doubting you, just interested as from everything I read the 350z is a great ride.

also, how much are they going for these days - ball park figure will do.

[siddr20]

Yup i would like to know as well.. the performance wise!!

how would you compare the performance towards a 33 or 34??

n is that 230kw at the wheels?? thats insane if it is!!

[Oosh]

The power will be at the fly not wheels. No exhaust is that good!

[BOVed]

Dont like the fact that they dropped the trademark round taillights theyve been like skylines callsign for decades i hope they still release the gtr with them like the prototype now thats a nice looking car!!!!
