Call me crazy but doesn't the so called spy pics of the silver 2007 GTR look EXACTLY like a G35??

I always envisioned the Skyline as a muscular car like the R32. If this is indeed the actual look, it would be VERY drastic. When you see new generations of Evo's and Imprezza's, you can kind of see a bit of the older versions in it.

how do i know what it looks like? its based off the G35 and that car isnt hte best looking around.

and i dont see any plans of bringing back the RB26DETT, just that crappy VQ engine so it is a disgrace to the name IMO

StealthFox

yeah but not in america, in america its a fresh start.

This yellow one? I don't mind this one, although, the red one is better.

This one looks terrible though, I can't see nissan making this the GTR

BlueEyes

Just because something shares a common frame, doesn't mean the body has to look the same the fact remains, we don't know what it will look like, so your comment is meaningless.

As well, you have no idea what they will do to that "crappy" VQ engine, if indeed they use it, so again, meaningless.

Too heavy to handle? Most rumors that I've seen have placed the weight fairly close to that of the new Z06. This is less than that of the 350Z, which, in turn, is lighter than the Evo and STi. The slightly different chassis and more exotic structural components used in that car will shave a good deal of weight off. If this is true, it'll be hundreds of pounds lighter than the previous GTRs, which will help it's handling compared to previous versions rather than hurt it, as you assume. It'll also have ~475hp if the 480ps estimate is accurate, not 335hp (not sure where you got that) so it will be able to move quickly in a straight line as well. Clicky for more info so you can make an informed opinion on this car, rather than spouting off random "facts" that you make up on the spot.

That crappy VQ engine is one of the best engines on the market and has been for years. It's won more awards than the number of years you've been on the planet. Your statements about the G35 are also purely opinion and I'd say you're in the minority on this one, most people I know thing the G35C is a great looking coupe.

You know what's worse than a fanboi that has never sat in or seen any Skyline in person? A fanboi that doesn't even have a drivers license.

If the Nissan Skyline hits U.S. shores, will people that can afford it take to it? Corvette and Viper already have a fair market share over here, and throwing a GT-R into the fray is a toss up. Maybe this is why Toyota is reluctant to release another Supra-type vehicle. I'm curious is how Nissan is going to market this car. The G35 and 350Z seem to be selling well, so are they pushing their luck with a supercar? Why not sell the a street version of the R390 (sic)? I surely hope this thing is more than the modified G35 mule in those Autoweek photos. If it is, then Axe body spray must really work.

BTW, isn't HICAS non-beneficial when wheel power starts to increase? I've always wondered this since almost every 300ZX tuner sells HICAS eliminators.

Oh yeah, the ER34 was a kick *** car. Bring one of those over too.

I had super HICAS on my old z32 and the bar was supposed to eliminate the vague feeling at the limit. Or at least, that is what the Stillen catalogue says. :D

What would be the point of four-wheel steering on a sports car? It's not a large honking Silverado. Nissan you knuckleheads. :p

I just read an interview with the lead designer at Nissan. In it he states that the new Skyline won't resemble the R34 or the current G35 platform.

Current JDM mags.... VQ32DETT... 408 - 420 hp. All-wheel drive may be in the air because of weight. Supposedly it is a BMW M5 on the street and a Porsche 911 Turbo on the track...
