is it coming state-side?

3

Yes. It’ll be here later this year I believe.

Phenomenal. With a little luck and a lot of ass kissing, prolly my next car ;D

4

Are they going to be an Infiniti over here? or is it still going to be the Skyline GTR :ponder

5

oh god, RUN! cossey+skyline= :runaway

6

It’s a Nissan GTR. They dropped the Skyline name, since that’s what the G35/7 is called in Japan.

7

Vid no longer avaliable.

8

that car is sick…

kinda has a little bit of a 350Z look to it…but kicks its ass in looks and everything else

pretty impressive to see they went with a turbo 3.8 in a import tho…and it sound like a V8…me like.

9

ohh god i want ths car :bowdown

10

:wow wow he looked like he was having so much fun driving that thing around the track, im quite envious

11

Damn, id really like to know what kinda pants my mom has on. That steering wheel looks fuckin huge too.

12

I got a job at lia nissan for the summer just to drive the car, ive been hearing that you cant test drive, unless u ut down money, just like how u gotta put down money to test drive a STI

13

My buddy is friend’s with one of the higher up guys at Lia Nissan and he said they are getting 3 GTR’s and they are auctioning them off, no test drives,some employees won’t even be able to drive them. Denooyer Mitsu, about the Evo X, said they were getting 5 Evo X’s and no one would be able to test drive them…his words were “Once you buy it, then you can drive it” :confused

14

my step dad is best friend well kinda with bill lia, thats how i got it, lia nissan on central is getting 3 keeping 1 out front for advertise ment then giving it the boot to the auction

15

Corvette better look out because this thing is going to steal it’s title of best bang for the buck.

16

i have heard through a friend that the skyline is going to be governed? and that you have to have permission from nissan to go to a drag course or road course to have the governor lifted? Now dont flame me because i do not know the truth to this I just want to know if hes right

17

I highly doubt he’s right.

  1. There are always rumors going around out of lack of information

  2. I’m sure something as major as that would have been more widely spread.

18

The US models will differ slightly from the rest of the worlds. Yes the car will have an unusual limiter, however, through the sat-nav and onboard computers it will remove these limiters when you are on a track(they are all programmed into the car). Its hard to confirm exactly what we will see but I can guaranty these will be selling for over sticker price for a while, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find one for under $100k for at least the first year.

19

limited quantity, high demand = higher costs

20

I understand the economics but to me there is so much more to a car then the numbers it puts down. Purchasing a car is an emotional decision, and granted I haven’t driven one, but I have owned its little brother(07 G35X) and this car doesn’t stir my soul, it just doesn’t excite me the way a lot of other around $100k cars do. As the Fifth Gear video said, its the car for “Grand Turismo video gamers” or people who base a cars purchase exclusively on the numbers it puts down on paper.

People who buy a car like a GT3 are doing it for a very different reason then the person who will buy a GT-R because its the fastest(today anyways).
