Why? The VQ35 is still a great engine.

those wheels dont flow with the car at all. i dont know what it is about them but they just look so wrong on that car. also the A-pillar would have looked better if it was painted the body color. anyone know why the left it black?

no, i meant the pillar that's between the door window and the windshield. it's black while the rest of the car is silver but i suppose that could just be a protection measure just like the bra on the front?

Probably looks better black. Plus if you tint the windows every thing would flow better.

Well, why didn't they paint the pillars on TSX's or TL's?

I'm not a huge fan of this styling. I know it looks outdated, but I like the R34 Skyline better

Being that the G35 was sold in Japan as the Skyline, is this Skyline GTR going to be the R35 or the R36?

Whoever took that pic of the GT-R, why didn't they wave and shout and ask them for a chance to sit in the GT-R.

I also can't see the plates of any of the cars that well. Is this in CA?

You can't see the plates because the nissan is moving faster than the hondas or other cars you recognize.

I'm sure shouting and waving is quite popular among the hot rod crowd of your generation, but I don't see it doing shit for todays market.

Rofl, like they'd happily stop along the way of a highway and let them sit inside of a 80 grand car that hasn't even been released to the public yet.


Right. Not in your lifetime.

That car looks pretty big. I am betting with the AWD, large brakes, wheels, etc. that this thing is going to be roughly 3600lbs.

^ Has Michigan manufacturer plates ... but nowhere near Michigan. Also a RHD vehicle...

I assume the 2 vents in the hood is to feed the turbochargers.

IMHO, the 911 Turbo is indeed the best benchmark on which to develop the new GT-R. Looks like I will be digging into the Home Equity till to make a purchase on this one.
