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 ***** 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 ***** out RX-7...

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

But for $40.000 less you could settle for one of these .

rev it up
The constant high revving causes over heating with FI on the track.
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

After seeing the flat Black version in the Nissan, and then witnessing the Lotus for triple that amount...I'll reserve my judgement...for now.

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.

Not when Craig is more than 4 secs a lap faster than me at Sandown that I must get a tubro kit.
BTW NOTHING will have GTR performance, even R34, so forget it.

I don't quite understand where we disagree and I agree with your comments. This thing will have huge street and track cred. Being able to handle it will be another issue.

Obviously love my car too but the R35 is just in a whole other league.
