There has also been speculation that the motor is underated and the internals, turbos and ecu can output roughly 600 horses with some minor adjustmentson the tuning side of things. I cant wait for this car. If i havent turboed my Trans Am by the time it drops, i may garage the F bod and finance a gtr.

And then the up and coming 600hp Stingray Corvette as well...
A lot has changed since it once had "Godzilla" status, it's going to need to prove itself again IMO.
I have my hopes up for it though...

Burn some dust here
I'm still hoping Nissan does the smart thing and releases it as an Infiniti. Nissan service is generally sub-par and people who buy $70,000+ sports cars don't usually like to hear or take shit from bad service departments.
Regardless of the service, if the interior matches everything else then this car will be absolutely

"Early on, speculation centered on the possibility the GT-R would come with an Infiniti badge, but Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has made it clear the car will stay a Nissan in all markets."

I was recently at the ring and pulled an 8:59s in my 335i, of course I'm no pro and there were other cars on the road.
