Holy smokes!

 

Yes, it's a great performance car, but it still doesn't excite me.

 

^^^Thats ok......lots of other people are....

 

I wonder what excuses we are going hear this time on why it got such a good ¼ time.

1. The guy drives for Nissan so he knows how to make the car go fast
2. C&D are being paid by Nissan.
3. This car is a special version just for the mags that has more HP.

 

still dont understand how such an amazing car can have such a horrible interior

 

0-60 3.3seconds, 1/4 in 11.5 doesn't excite you. You better get out some rocket boosters then

For me, anything that goes 0-60 3.3seconds, 1/4 in 11.5 is going to be exiting.

 

Just wait till more of these cars are on the road. All are you going hear and read is about how these other pretenders cars like the M3..LOL.....will be just road kill .

 

haha it'll be interesting to see C&D compare the GT-R with a BMW

 

I'm not.

And from the looks of the GT-R vs. Z06 vs. R8 vs. 911 TT/GT3 threads, lots of other people aren't either.

This is coming from a die-hard R34/R33/R32 GTR fan. Those cars make me jizz my pants everytime I see one. Simply put, the new GT-R is incredible, but not that desirable. Come to think of it.... there hasn't really been a single DSG/SMG/DCG car I've fallen in love with at all yet and I doubt there ever will be. I don't give a crap if it has cluthes or not, I still consider it an automatic with shift paddles.

 

No excuses here, that's a great ET. I do have issues with not using a production car though. The traps are about 4mph faster than the last two previous tests I've read.

 

Wow that's fast. Too bad dealers will mark it up to holy high hell.

 

That is insane...

 

I'm not alone in my thoughts. This car has amazing performance, but there is so much more to a car then the numbers.

 

Fast? check.
Ugly? check.
Technological overkill? CHECK.

It just seems like they took the concepts of all the Japanese rally cars and put it on steroids with all the electro doodads. I commend them for beating whatever it is they we're aiming to beat, but I think they put that before making the car a worthwhile drive.

 

this car has no soul. not impressed. :gheylaugh:

 

have u driven one?

i haven't seen any review saying the GTR isn't a "worthwile drive"

 

Doesnt excite me either. They #s are great, but the car it self looks like shit. Thats my personal taste. The interior looks outdated and like something out of the 80s, they exterior is to big and bulky looking.

Oh and as for this, I would say Preproduction Mule. Who knows what isnt stock on it.

 

wait 2 to 3 years when they hype dies down and some used are hitting the lots the dealers won't be such a douche bag about mark ups.

 

I think you should bold my whole sentence, instead of focusing on one part of it. Now where did I say that it isn't a worthwhile drive?

 

and where did i say "YOU" said it isn't a worthwile drive


i said "reviews"

 

lol

 

You got me.

GT-R is a fast car. No more, no less.

 

ps. this is a , we have been tracking the GT-R in high detail for quite a while now here:

Thats it? Nothing about its brilliant suspension? Amazing value? Nothing?

Tough crowd to please if a $70k Nissan that does 3.3 to 60 and runs 11.5 doesn't impress. Then again, this is the internet.

 

My car does that for half the price

 

Not stock

 

Can't win can I? I just said it's fast, what else do you guys want?

 

Your soul maybe?

 

I'm atheist.

 

Something thats fast and looks good, and has a soul

 

Cars or women?

 

Cars



















But since you asked, BOTH!

 

Women have souls?

 

Nope

 

The only way 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds would not excite me is if my occupation was that of an F-16 pilot.

 

I think what he's getting at is that anyone can get those numbers.
1. Point car down a straight
2. Press gas = 3.3 sec to 60
3. Tell the world how good of a driver you are because you got to 60 in less than 4 sec.


I am by no means a pro behind the wheel, but I'll take my 6-spd TSX any day of the week, because I like the idea that I have at least some sort of control over the car.

When this car hits the streets, I'll look, may even stare, but I won't cream my shorts like others will

 

Probably the only one there...I think the GTR hits top speed by the time the TSX hits 60....shifting or no shifting, I think hitting 60 in 3.3 seconds is about as breathtaking as it gets on land. Imagine when one of those tuners release a reflash for the turbos

 

 

Im gonna say what everyone says about C&D and BMW....

Nissan paid them off!!
