I think that that Mazda 323 GTX and the Dodge Omni GLH were hot too. It's just that it's too hot and would get so much attention everywhere you went. Well, there ain't much of a car theft problem where I'm at, so I guess it wouldn't be a problem. I guess I'm just not that 'showy'.

 

looks good! the question is what drivetrain layout and powerplant? hopefully it will perform at world class levels!

i can't wait for gan-san's review of it on best motoring.

 

The thing is, for that money you could buy an STI AND an Evo and have enough left to do enough mods to make you happy for at least one of them. Or go buy a Mercedes Benz SL class. At least then it's a convertible and you get luxury too, in addition to being wicked quick and stylish. The Nissan is just not worth it.

 

more than the looks i'm curious of the specs and pricetag.

i'm pretty sure it would grow on me in terms of looks

 

it's Funny to see/read some people's reactions....... This is The GT-R. There is no question as to the powerplant's capability, just what it will end up being. If you've followed Nissan's goals at all within the past ~5 yrs, you would know that they recognized that the R34 was Not what it should have been, ... the new GT-R is supposed to change all of that.

Also, from people that drive Subaru's, ... you can't call anything ugly unless it's your own car!! LOL You have to have a "mother's love" to like them (which I do).

Are you Jeff / jdmaddict?

 

Nah, he's Sean.

 

If the R34(Godzilla) wasnt what they wanted it to be. What the heck are they wanting? What "should it have been"? Im really curious now but i havent been following Nissan's goals that closely in the last few years.

 

i think they were always shooting for the "supercar" of supercars (within some reason), ... but the car got heavier, and lost some of it's agility (but still was a 'tuner's' dream). From so many different video's that have been out for the past year or two, they seem to keep saying they wanted to be back 'on top'. I just think Nissan is doing a great job at attacking the entire car/truck market, and delivering great autos across the board.
