I'm going to reserve judgement until some numbers come out of it in magazine testing.

I was gonna say more like how about people shut up till they drive one... But I forgot everyone on TR knows everything just by seeing it on the intraweb.

I think the car looks pretty good, and the performance of it sounds pretty damn impressive.

it's also funny that near everyone bashing it, or comparing it to a c6 z06, could afford neither

So we're not allowed to talk about things we can't afford now?

Ya'll can ride on teh OMGZ SKYRINE's nuts and hope that it can halfway stack up to the shit out there priced 10-20k lower right now, and I'll ride on the nuts of said cars 10-20k lower.

it looks like a caddy to me. i'm a little shocked on the hp#'s but i looked up the old gtr stock hp #'s and they where really low. looks like this one makes over twice as much power bone stock. so who know what it'll make modded. atleast they added some cubic inches.

what are those cars? im not riding on any cars nuts, but you are blatantly ignorant of performance in general. just because its a nissan dosnt mean its shit and not worth the money.

Yes its $70k, yes its a nissan, no it dosnt have a 7.0L v8. but neither do porsche's which are priced a fuck load higher but i dont hear anyone complaining about how expensive those are?

Who'se talking about 7 liter v8? If you search a page or two back you'll see me talking about the Grand Nationals which DOMINATED the performance world in their time.

I don't care what brand it is. 450HP/360TQ and the times it pulled doing its track courses doesn't impress me for 70k. Not one bit. And for the record, a Porsche priced a lot higher than that car would completly obliterate it performance wise. I'm simply saying that the cars out on the market for far less than 70k are as nice and nicer not to mention as bad on a road course and have higher HP/TQ numbers in some instances.

so the GNX is only so bad ass because? or maybe its because that with a little tinkering you could make it into a monster? sounds like something nissan is doing..

and any porsche in the same price range as this car wouldnt stand a chance.

and how is that amount of HP coupled with AWD and 4wheel steering not a bang for the buck? im sorry if i misundersand. and you dont know if its fucking slow or not so stop assuming everything is faster since there is no posted times.

so what are the other cars that can match it for 20k less, and dont say a lotus or anything like that because those arnt much in the way of comfortable for driving everyday.
maybe a roush mustang, because those are damn nice and I think run like 50k butim not sure it would keep up with the new GT-R
(im still not nut swinging, just trying to fugure out why you are out to prove this car isnt worth the soposed MSRP)

It looks liek its curb weight will be in the low 3ks. 450/360 + 3250lbs = slow for 70k.
