I think the styling is different....I dont like the new c6's but love the c5's.....I think that this twin turbo awd car is going to be awsome to see.....it has a tough reputation to hold though....
I wonder what the stock psi will be and what the engine will hold....and how difficult it will be to modify....

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.
I agree that the price is high but thats only because I don't have the money, unlike the many ppl out there that do. The GTR is $70k and is made to compete with the Z06 and 911's plus any other car in that range. For what the car is thats around the right price. The Audi RS4 is also AWD and around 440hp and it sell as a base model for $66k.

The R32 was the 1st car to do under 8min at the Nurburgring and now this one does it in 7:30's. Not even the 911's can do that and I don't see a Z06 doing that. Don't get me wrong I like the new C6 Z06 but I think the GTR can and will out do the vette. Would I buy it? No, I rather have an Evo or STI for cheaper or If I had the money I would get the RS4. But I beleive it will do well. Mainly cause of the hype of it being a Skyline you can buy in the states.

$70k for that ugly, two-door charger look-alike? I'd rather have a Pulsar GTi-R with 800hp for less than half the price of that car.
