That was interesting video thanks for the link.

Here's one to check out.

He says he gets 404 at the wheel so maybe he's getting close to the GTR hp at the crank; 460 maybe?

Once this thing is really available for the $70k or so it's supposed to price at (in other words, after the inevitable gouging), this thing is going to put a real bite in the sales of Porsche's, Corvettes, and the like.

What does that have to do with the GTR?

It can make 600 whp, but still doesn't have the AWD and trick transmission etc to get it to the ground.

The Infiniti G35 Coupe is known as the Skyline GTR in Japan and the new GTR was based from that design.

Purchasing a Nissan GT-R

The 2009 Nissan GT-R is a limited production vehicle and available on a first-come, first-served basis through Nissan GT-R Certified Dealers. Reserve yours today.

I'm thinking no deals for a while.

Anyone know how may they plan to ship to the US??

Not quite. The G35 is known as the Skyline in Japan, but not the Skyline GTR. Nor does the upcoming GT-R share much at all with the current G35/Skyline.

The R35 GT-R is built off of a heavily modified version of Nissan's global FM (front-midship) platform, and shares next to nothing in common with other current FM-chassis models (G35, G37 Coupe, 350Z, FX35, FX45, M35, M45, etc.) In fact, the chassis under a G35/Skyline has more in common with an FX35 than it does with the GT-R. The GT-R carries a rear-mounted transaxle, while the rest of the FM-platform cars carry conventional front-mounted transmissions.

Heck, the R35 won't even carry a Skyline badge on it, here or in Japan. Nissan has decided to differentiate the R35 from the other Skyline models, unlike past generations of GT-R.

I stand corrected.

By the time I save up enough pennies, I guess I can it at sticker!?

That fast n furious car ain't got anything on a new GTR or hell even an R32,R33 or R34.

Slight correction, the G35 coupe is known in Japan as the "Skyline 350GT" or "Skyline GT-350" or something like that. I can't remember right now. That may be where he thought the coupe was named GT-R.

Meh... I still think it's one of the ugliest cars Nissan has ever vomited up.

[Nexus Flux]

Looks are a part of, I will agree with that, but technologically and performance wise, the car stands apart form most other offerings on the market. Unless you consider cars like the Capparo T1 and a very select few others in the same category.

Furthermore, the Skyline has never really been about looks. It has usually been all buisness with a hint of look to set it apart from the rest.

[MadMonkey]

^^ Yeah, but not everybody just looks at performance... personally, I wouldn't buy an ugly car just because it was high performance. OTOH, I find many supercars beautiful, even the ones most people find ugly
