I agree, for the price this thing will be at, I forsee the Z06 dominating it in every category except hype. Also, Z06s are selling at MSRP, I've even heard of them going a couple grand under! If you don't think the GT-R is gonna have a minimum $10K markup just from the hype, then be prepared to have a salesman laugh at you,
but, it still failed while the Vette is still going strong and that was pretty impresive because they came out in the C4 days, the C4 was the suxxor.

The only reason it failed was the price range...And now everyone who didn't get one is fucking kicking themselves cause they sure as hell didn't know the capability of the blocks on those cars, and because the aftermarket wasn't as big when they first came out...THAT IS THE ONLY REASON...

elaborate why. When Nissan introduced the Z they sold as many Z's in 10 years as Chevy sold vettes in 30 years. The new Z06 costs 95k. I dont see the GTR failing when it gets sold in the US for the first time. Now its not gonna be as common as the Z's but they will be around. I think the people that are hatin have slow, slow, POS cars.

I think it's a nice car and 75k isn't really as rediculous as I thought it would be. I'm sure it's more than just the 450hp that makes it expensive just like its much more the the 500hp that makes the c6 z06 expensive. there are way more to cars than just the raw power they make! I would deffinately take the z06 over that,but thats because I'm a domestic type of guy. That still doesn't take away from the new skyline being a solid all around sports car. Oh yea...i've yet to see a z06 sell for msrp in person. at bill heard chevy in plant city they had one with 25k market adjusted value like 2 months ago...lol

Z06's are not 95k

Tons of cars sell better than a corvette does, but thats not the point.
