I love it but it's still rice and not a V8.

SO tired of hearing that about the GT-R. There is a reason the previous generation R34 is so hyped up. Its a monster. This one will be no exception at all. It's probably got 20 times more technology in it than a GT500 or even a Z06 for that matter. If it is the same price as a Z, I would take one anyday. Might not be as fast in a straight line stock, but get a tune and up the boost and you'll be racing blown vettes and vipers in no time. Can't wait to see what they are capable of. :rockon:

imo? looks like ass. has like a chevy cobalt rear end, a squished 350z roof and center body, the front end of a porsche and the inside looks cluttered with a giant bulky center console.

sorry but it looks like garbage especially for that price. as far as "21st century technology" that probably consists of gps flip out screen and other stuff you will prolly never use and breaks easy. and besides its rice and overpriced.

The thing is pretty much engineered to be a handling machine, and this time they boosted the power to keep up with the horsepower wars going on in America. Everyone is so amazed at how fast it went around the Nurburgring, but it was designed to do just that. Read all the reviews, they pretty much modeled the car after the 911 Turbo, just with a cheaper price tag.

Last time they made a Skyline, Nissan was still limited by the 'gentlemans agreement' between them, Honda, Toyota and Mazda to not make a car with more than 286hp. If you go back to the late 90's and look at stats of the Skyline R34, RX-7, Supra, and NSX, they all have hp numbers at or around 286, even though some of these cars were severely underrated. They didn't want the horsepower wars in Japan to get out of control, which apparently now they couldn't care less about. Nissan knows everyone in the world is waiting for this car to be released, so they aren't going to disappoint.
