GTR 35 around $160,000 :) |
Call me a sceptic. One bloke on Utube put an interesting angle on it..."I wonder how much this idiot got paid from Nissan to say all the crap about this car!! lol "
To get a real appreciation of any car you have to see, feel and drive the thing yourself. Whilst I have no doubt the car is fast, with editing, cuts, extra takes etc, believe half of what you see on TV. |
No Trev - this thing is the real deal.
Forget about sexed up shopping trolleys like the Evo. The GTR35 will scare crap out of 911 Turbo owners for less than half the price. Badge snobbery will hurt sales but kudos to Nissan for having the balls to sell it. Makes the dithering of Honda and Toyota over their NSX and Lexus sports car programs look weak. And we won't talk about Mazda's reluctance to make a balls out RX-7... |
Any idea when this will arrive in Australia....it may be my next car:)

I was told mid 09 july :) by the Nissan dealer .
Dave IMHO you are incorrect with the GTR 35 You get Supercar performance ,instant status as a real car person and street cred ...........without the Rich prick tag of a Porsche owner . Cheers Michael |
An R35 for my 35th bday?

If you can only have one car, then the GTR
I planned to keep my 8 and FI it down the stage. It worth barely $30K now and I think it is cheap enough to be a track car :) |

Decision time now. Do I wait 12 months for this car or spend money on suspension and FI on the RX8.
What would you do? skc But for $40.000 less you could settle for one of these . |
I wouldn't be able to resist modding an R35 GTR if I had one..

Still I have to consider is there a FI system out there that can overcome these issues in the RX 8 and if so how close will it come to the GTR in performance. I love the RX8 for what it is and may be I am dreaming that it can have super car capabilities. |
This Lotus EVORA looks the part and saves you $50.000 on the price of a GTR35

That's the best colour I've ever seen on a car! The Ferrari especially..

From what I have seen so far a FI RX 8 does not show a marked increase in performance on the track. In fact my times in a stock car with no mods has been better than some FI cars at QR.
