Re: Skyline GTR spy pics!

Wow! I like that a lot despite the camo! I cant wait for that car to come out here. I pray that it is priced fairly. It's probably wishful thinking, but if that car is priced in the 50's I'd look at it really hard.

I may have to forego a house purchase to get a GTR!

Re: Skyline GTR spy pics!

i saw the concept at the Osaka motor show when i was in japan. I really didnt like the car in pics, but in person it looked much, much better.

Looks nice but I doubt there is room in the rear for adults comfortably. Also those exhaust pipes look VERY large and roomy.

Re: Skyline GTR spy pics!

Wow, that is one goofy, ugly, awkward-looking car. There are standards for beauty. That thing meets none of them.

Long hood, short rear deck? Fastback roofline? Wheel arches?

yah i miss read the artical
Prevailing rumors have the car taking on a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6, itself derived from the engine in the 350Z. Power bogeys put the mill in the range of 450 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of twist. In true Skyline fashion, the car will be all-wheel-drive, with a further evolution of the GT-R’s electronic ATTESA ET-S torque-sensing system, tied into a four-wheel steering system.
i thought for some reason itsaid 470 ft pounds of trq

and it wouldnt be far from the vett if it was the vett being 505hp 470tq


i still cant decide weather i like it the camo doesnt help. but i hated the c6 at first and now i like it so ill have to wait to see them on the street

Re: Skyline GTR spy pics!

MUCH better than the R3x whatever the heck they are. I NEVER found those cars to be attractive, but this one looks to correct it.
