No, why? like I've been saying all along, 95% of the people that will get their hands on a GTR (none V), won't know how to drive it like it was meant to be driven... so what's the point? I guess for the status...

its like this... I have an aunt that's the typical Asian lady in her 60s... terrible driver, a couple years ago, she sold a motel/motor inn and got a ton of money... she runs out and buys a Cayenne Turbo and a MB S600... WHY??!!

the point is... (again) people who buys the GTR...won't have the skills to drive it anyway... (and again) all this talk about modding it... WHY!?!?

tho, I'd really want to see the V beat tge ZO6 at the ring....

Maximized

That's a huge *itch

I respect the GTR for it's supercar performance, but it's one ugly car.

The GT-R already beat the Z06 on the Ring, even though the time is shrouded in speculation. You must mean the ZR1....? pretty sure it can.... the time for the V-Spec prototype was 7:24 or something like that, which induces even MORE speculation.... 40 more horses and a 200 lb diet, and it only improves on the regular GT-R's time by 5 seconds?

That's what I thought, $30k extra, may be, but $60k extra seems to be too much.

I dunno, Jesal...you're profiling the GT-R against Honda's Ferrari fighter...it's a bit...of a reach?

That's like taking a BMW 335i and profiling that next to the NSX as well...of course, it'll look hella big...?





GT-R obviously doesn't have the look for everyone...but, I think it's fine and of course, when you compare it with an NSX...well, different league.

srika

but the GT-R is WAY faster than the NSX!!!!!!!!!! DUHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! you morans!!

Yumcha

Actooally, morons is with TWO "O"s...

srika

btw awesome pics ...

LMAO

oh wait wait wait... I know, its the ANGLE those pics are taken that makes the GT-R look that big!!!!!!! in real life its about the same size as NSX. kthxbye

Crazy Bimmer

That was my point. The GTR looks to be more of a GT car (like the 335i) than a sports car. Which I understand that people want that so its easier to be a daily driver.

But with its amazing performance I just wished it looked the part. Just my preference. Example, you look at a 300zx, vette, ferrari, etc.. and you know its a hardcore sports car. That kinda of look makes me tingle in me pants.

I know its an unfair comparison but those were the only pictures i found comparing to what I was talking about. Plus its not that big of a deal and yes im nitpicking but i still find the front to be hideous.

Yumcha

Ah...understand ya now.

dom

Holy size difference.

majin ssj eric

Lol, it looks like its about to eat that poor NSX (and on the track it totally would)!!

Yumcha

Kinda looks like Dan-Martin-of-a-car, huh?

So, it's the in-thing to hate the GT-R's look now...?

Moog-Type-S

I thought it always was

I cannot dispute the GTR's numbers....it's a beast.

I can however dispute the way it looks.....and it sure isn't sex on wheels.

Black Tire

LOL...yeh...because you can't make fun of how slow it goes.

Moog-Type-S

It's sorta like saying "that girl is not real pretty, but she is really smart and has a great personality.

Actually, it more like saying, "she isn't that good looking, but she f'ed me so hard I passed out and couldn't walk for a week..."

srika

Actually, it's more like saying, "she isn't that good looking and weighs 300 lbs, but I heard we had the greatest sex ever. However, I can't confirm that personally, because I couldn't feel anything - my whole body was numb during the experience. But I heard it was really great, from other people. And, we made lots of headlines."

Are you guys forgetting what the original Skylines or "gt-r's" looked like....they never were "exotic" or sports car looks to begin with.

srika

good post. actually I loved the R33 and R34. The R32 was nice too. It was always more of a "muscle" car in its lines and looks - but it looked good too. I would definitely say the R35 is muscular in its lines as well. But, it's not a cohesive whole that flows and works together and it consequently doesn't work for me.

Crazy Bimmer

I never liked the looks of any of the old skylines. Just never did anything for me.

But man... LMs sure can make any car look much better.

Time For Sleeep

jesus christ.


that right there is fuckin' SEX.


lovin' it.

srika

^^ it also helps that its black. that car looks hot. maybe its just about wheels, tires, sideskirts, lowering, some window tinting...? the exhaust looks nice too.

majin ssj eric

C'mon Moog, tell us how ugly it is....

Crazy Bimmer

Who the hell cares if people think its ugly! I never understood why people get bent out of shape over someones opinion on styling preference.

I stated on how i feel about the front of the GTR, but you wont see me caring that other people like the looks of it.

To each their own. Get over it.

Costco

Nice stance and wheels - shame about the car its on. The car itself still looks the same - ugly.

You can call the GT-R whatever you want - a beast, giant-killer, Godzilla, etc. but one thing that nobody will ever call it is sexy. There is no amount of modding outside of body panel replacement/bodykits that will make it look good.

I agree with the previous posts.... nothing flows right. I like the hood bulge on the G37 (its my freaking desktop wallpaper ATM, ffs!) but the whole front end of the G37 just works.... its pleasing to the eye. It has NOTHING to do with the badge of the car, its price, its performance, etc. It ain't worth it getting worked up over people thinking a car is ugly, especially when you don't even own it or ever have.

Despite not looking exotic, which in itself doesn't constitute a good looking car - it definitely helps though - the older GTRs, R32-R34 looked great. Its like how I have an attraction to how the Evos have always looked - essentially what some would consider riced-out sedans from the factory.

Moog-Type-S

Don't be a clown.

Never said it was ugly. Compared to the old NSX, the GTR loses IMHO.

It's a matter of opinion, but compared to most "supercars" or high end sports cars, the words sleek and sexy don't really come into play when describing the exterior design of the GTR.

Black Tire

Christ...that black one looks like a stealth bomber...prehaps that should be its nickname since no one will see it come, but it did do alot of damage.

majin ssj eric

I care because I designed the damn thing and its a personal insult to me everytime one of you know-nothing-about-style internet critics criticizes it!



















Um, none of that is true obviously.

Costco

Actually, if I didn't read your post just now I might have said the same thing about you! Obviously you were being sarcastic, but go ahead and read your last few posts regarding someone putting down the GT-R, and go back and read that post you just made.

GT-R just ran an 11.1 @124mph at the dragstrip with a standalone i watched. damn!

I just got a GT-R brochure. The car looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL in it. The pictures - the angles - the lighting - the poses... everything is set perfect and the car looks AMAZING. It's really an incredible brochure you should check one out when you get a chance. If I ever like, won a GT-R and decided to keep it, I would keep the brochure in my car at all times and take it with me wherever I go, and when anyone asks about the car I'd show them the brochure. hehe. If they ask to see the real car I'd be like uhh.. it's secret so you can't see it and stuff.
