Well put someone that doesnt know a thing about racing and sucks at driving in a Performance car or race car there is a chance he might break a few things while trying to get his best performance out of it… Who would want to Warranty that! Z06\>\* ---

Not the same thing, but still… did the insurance company drop him after that? I’d be surprised if they didn’t (or atleast hike his rates way up) ---

How much longer until you realize it is not the same fucking car? Actually 3,850 and with my fat ass much more. I was saying in the lineage of Datsun and other Z cars which were light weight cars, the new Z is a little chucky. A 2 door 2 seater that is 3,350. As for the Cadi it has and never will be a light weight sports car. How did a CTS-V get brought into a Vette vs GTR comparison? Also I know it is not called a Skyline any more, but I would I would still say that is the lineage for the current GTR. Even Nissan makes the tie to the previous generations: [http://www.gtrnissan.com/item.en.us.html?id=GT-R\_FirstDetails\_en\_us&type=press](http://www.gtrnissan.com/item.en.us.html?id=GT-R_FirstDetails_en_us&type=press) “Nissan is today also confirming the final name of the car. Previous generations of this car were known as the Skyline GT-R; the new name for this car is simply “Nissan GT-R” in all global markets.” ---

LZ: No, I won’t change my mind 😃 Ron: It’s the next step in lineage, yeah, but it’s just called something different (for whatever reason). I don’t like the way they did it, but I guess it makes sense seeing as how they derived a totally new platform from everything they’ve researched so far instead of using a sedan platform. Hmm, don’t know what else to add. I’m just trying to procrastinate from going back to class really… ---

Previous generations of this car were known as the Skyline GT-R; the new name for this car is simply “Nissan GT-R” in all global markets.” with current safety restrictions, and with people wanting Luxury features mixed in, there is no way to cut out the extra weight. It is that simple. Where can they cut fat while continuing to cut the price of the car down? I don’t really think that Nissan is even building the GTR to be “Mod Proof”. They are simply saying that if you mod it, they will know, and you will not be covered under warranty. ---

They are simply saying that if you mod it, they will know, and you will not be covered under warranty. Well it seems that Mazda and Lotus can build a sub 3,000 pound 2 seater. Even the Corvette wieghs less than a 350Z. Also, for GM ZR1\>Zo6\>CTS-V\>Cobalt SS But obiviously: GTR\>\* ---
