GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i always forget to look i'm STUPID very sorry

Last night i looked in my auto classified section and found a GT-R for sale asking 80k. i had no idea that they were out in the states.

I think this will be the first Skyline to be "officially" sold in North America. LHD FTW!!!

I do like this new GTR, but I'd love it if it had a regular 6 speed manual gearbox. It needs 3 pedals and an H shifter to be a proper car in my book. The computers are cool and everything though. I also don't like the fact that the HP can vary depending on who and how much care is put when hand building these engines. my R&T magazine says that the cars come with 480HP. I've heard of ranges from 350-590HP.

There you go! I'm not drooling over the GTR, I really don't like any new cars. So, I don't know anything about the GTR, but if there isn't a manual available, even with real sequential and not the autoshift crap, I'm not remotely interested.

You all can have all this computer driving crap. 1985 VW GTi, now that's the car for me 1982-1985 was very good years for cars.

close this

As far as I know, that goes for any motor. So with the GTRs engines being produced in sterile rooms (as i've heard), I recon that effect is actually less than in other cars.

Still, I find it hideous to look at, too gimicky to be considered a drivers car and too pricey.

Close your mouth.



As for the GTR...

Drool.
one of the only newer cars to come out that i've found myself happy in the pants for.

The variance will be no more than 25hp (or 5%) unless the technitians are changing components or modifying them - which they won't be.

But it's nice to know that some people think an engine can put out more power by being put together carefully. People who've never seen a real engine perhaps.

Well, as much as I LOVE the R32-R33-R34 Skyline GT-R's this new one just made me furious at first... untill I got over the fact that

a) it's not a skyline
b) it still is as advanced as a GT-R badged Nissan should be

The looks and the V6 I personally couldn't bare at first, but at the moment I just think it's a good piece of engineering (Great piece of engineering actually since it can take a noob and make him fast)

Nope it won't... it will be the first GTR to be "officially" sold in North America... :P

I'm not so pretentious that I need a gear stick before I call a 4 wheeled automotive transportation device a car. I'm so pretentious that a car has only 1 seat and is styled like an F1. Anything else is just a mode of transport, and as modes of transport go, it's ok - kinda odd looking, but the gimmicks make up for it! Hoorah for gimmicks.

R31 - Bring it baaaaaaaaaack !

Its a fugly, overweight "modern" car. Crush them all XD

Sarge.

You want to buy a GTR that's been shagged and abused by the press, rather than a mint one clean off the production line?

Have to agree with Becky that the lack of gear lever is no big deal. I think the GTR is mighty impressive, as long as you know it's not a "pure driver's car". Never has been, never will be, isn't trying to be. But it does seem to be devastatingly quick, and easy to drive fast.

Looks good in black, too.

When I worked back at the Mercedes Benz service center, we serviced a W215 CL600 V12 Biturbo.... Pressenwagen... It had 6,500 km on the clock and was sold for a QUARTER of the original price. The owner spent something around 35,000 euro just to get it to "bareable" condition... and after that the car still was falling to bits and pieces and was spending at least 1 week a month at the repairs...

Ok, now you've made The Kringle click "Quote" to correct you for saying something stupid.

I hope you're happy...


If you care to take a look at post number 2 of this thread. (Here i'll link you to it considering the quality of your original post) You can hopefully see the link provided to the other thread on this forum regarding the "New Nissan GT-R". (Of which i'll also link you to HERE)

Now, hopefully you'll now read my original post, and then add the two together, and maybe, just maybe, you'll realize that my post was calling for the thread to be closed or merged with the original thread as it is un-necessary to have two threads of exactly the same title.

So if you would now like to put a cake in that hole of yours and not try to correct me or appear clever, we can move on and forget your post.


Job Done.
