all you us car guys are forgetting that the people that are bieng targeted at for this car wouldn't even look at a z06 or mustang ... nissan isn't stupid they wiil hipe it in the market that they know it will sell! the only thing is that it may be a g35 because the 350 z is the nissan name top sports car in the u.s but.. also the supra ans the 300gt and other cars like that failed because the market for them was going away at that time everyone wanted the new suv thing and ford was talking of dropping the mustang and chevy was talking about dropping the trans am/camaro.. but ya at 70k they at going to sell alot o by the way toyota is working on the next supra and they say we will get it too when it comes out

Its sad when Import guys tell other Import guys that we are hating on it because its an import, LOL.. Not all of us see that Skyline and are really amazed. Really, if I somehow got a hold of $70K and that car was out, I would rather buy a fucking fleet of 35 POS 89 CRX's..

I hate to inform people this, but the Skyline has always been priced around the Corvette (if not higher). It is the japanese equivelent of a Corvette or Viper.

BAck in 1995, when the Skyline R33 GTR came out, it's MSRP was about $45k, but a 1995 Corvette started at $38k. They sold well then.

NIssan made it very clear last year that their 'target' (as fara as performance was concerned) was not the Corvette, but rather the 911. We shall see.

For all the people who are saying the GTR won't sell at $70k, you will be suprised. Go on the G35/350Z boards and see how many people have put in over $20k-40k of modifications to their already $30k-40k car.

The GTR is being aimed at the Z06 and 997TT. Rumors are rumores...and the rumor I've read is that the GTR has been caught at the Nurburgring in the 7:30s range.
