Nissan GTR

So who is a fan of this 3.8L TT 24-valve DOHC V6 that makes 480 hp and can go 193 MPH? I dig it! It looks badass too!

Well Nissan knows that they really can't compete with the name of the Corvette. the following is amazing, and will be around as long as the car is, but they can be in the same class as it is pricewise. I'm really interested in seeing how the car does.

Did you see the underside of that thing? Screw working on that... You would spend an hour taking covers off and another putting them back on to get anything done... But is a nice looking and great running car. ( would rather have an Audi R6 though )

Its a world beater for cheap! It will kill another other car out there within $100K of its price. The ZO6 is a supercar for used car money, for sure, but...
It's main competator/rival (for Nissan anyway) is the Porsche GT-3. A perfect car in its own right.
Nissan bought their target competition just to make sure they wern't arguing their abilities on paper

I think the GT-r looks pretty cool, but am to much of an R34 fan to like it over an R34. Also, does anybody notice how similar it looks the the Toyota FT-HS? If Toyota makes it, that would be a bad ass battle.

I like the GTR, but how much different is it than the 350? Besides the obvious. Just throw on a turbo and other goodies on a 350 and there you go.

I think the GTR looks really good in black, personally.

It reminds me of like a future super car or something. The same way the G35 coupe did in black. Of coarse it needs black rims though.

It really just looks cool.
