You guys cant be serious... obviously none of you know the true history of the gtr tag. Or the fact that japan is a big mountain with windy roads, and no body there cares about 0-60 times when racing. Look at the R34, only 280hp from a straight six and it crushed competition on the circuits around the world, which is what the car is known for, dominating windy circuit tracks. The gtr's design is not meant for the drag street. it is currently being tuned at germany's famous Nürburgring race track. and if you check, it is not a drag strip. the awd is just about second to none, and cosworth is there along with people from lotus to fine tune the suspension that will make this car a juggernaut on the circuits. the car repordedly will weigh a little over 3200lbs. which isnt bad for 450hp and 360ft lbs. As most of you have seen in magazines of how the skyline has set the bar for most of the tracks around the world, im sure this version will only be an improvement on what has worked in the past. Remember, japanese performance cars dont care about the strip, but the circuit. Thats the heritage if the gtr name. Btw, I think this car looks awesome.
