2009 Nissan GT-R priced at $69,850

[Update: After much speculation, Nissan today announced the GT-R sports car will start at $69,850 in the United States when it goes on sale in June 2008. No further pricing details were released.] Launched at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, the GT-R is powered by a 3.8L twin-turbo V6, good for 473 horsepower and 434 ft-lb of torque.
The only transmission that will be available in the GT-R is a GR6 dual-clutch six-speed. The GT-R's powertrain is reportedly good for a zero to 60 time of 3.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of only 11.7 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph.
In addition, recent reports indicate the GT-R lapped the Nurburgring's Nordschleife in 7 min 35 seconds — placing it in some pretty elite company. That time trails the Pagani Zonda F by two seconds and the Koenigsegg CCR by one, but the GT-R lapped the track faster than a Mercedes SLR McLaren (7 min 40 sec), Porsche 911 Turbo (7 min 40 sec) and the Corvette Z06 (7 min 42 sec).

From: If you can't fix it with a hammer,
Car Info: you've got an electrical problem.
Its getting the tranny based on smog emissions.
They also are using one piece header/ turbo per bank. So the hotside is part of the manifold.
The car was quoted at 460 hp from what I saw on C&D
I think the price is a little steep. I think nissan is trying to $$ on the name in the U.S. Not sure how well that will work people will get over the name after a bit, Then the price will drop.
I saw the car in person few month back when it was in the southwest. A firend that works out at the test track called me out when they were out doing milage and real world beat on tests.
Living around 4 differant test tracks in the phx area, You'd learn to keep a camera and spot this stuff moving about. We'd see it alot on a back road to and from town after 12 am.
