they also stated they will be releasig a spec v version of the car with ovr 550Hp andmost likely a manual tranny

 

Isn't it crazy how nissan is doing this? I mean I can understand ferrari...but nissan? Horrible, these cars are fast, but they are still nissans and its shitty that nissan wants to control so much about the car. Even after it yours you still have to answer to nissan. Gay.

 

HKC your fvkcin nuts. The new nissan is an amazing piece of machinery !

 

^every machinery these days is. but when it gets to the point where they restrict their own customers it resembles the countless rules upon rules the WRC or NASCAR have been bombarded with.

more rules, enforcements, and restrictions will equal a delinquent looking car. all new nissans look delinquent, compared to the image they used to be about.



that is correct. because there are some great beautiful cars that i've been in not available to the U.S. and i go by high global standards and not those paper cutouts you see 93% of the time on the roads. alfa romeo is coming to the U.S. in 2010. 166 & GTV baby! number of sales don't mean a thing to me, it's the spirit of the car that wins my heart. Peter Stevens ignored government regulations and sales figures when he created Mclaren F1 and look what came out of it. I don't believe in following trends just because everyone else is doing it and frankly they all look the same to me.

some guy drives an Opel Manta to work everytime i pass this place. those cars are beautiful, RWD and turbo that GM hired Opel Europe and import to the U.S. from 1971-1974. They handled perfectly and they even had a winning rally car. it's the ONLY manta i've ever seen in my entire life. Nobody knows about those cars or where they came from.

I've not forgotten about how much more wonderful those older classics are and my point is Nissan, like all new companies have all turned into commuter/rental cars and lost touch with their past. Nissan, with a luxury segment Infinity, used to be an affordable box like Toyota and Honda back in the 80's and early 90's, so why on earth are they putting a huge pricetag and restrictions on a car that doesn't even stick to tradition. I think it's sellout just like every new car is. What a beauty the original Nissan Z was. There's a guy down the street who fully restored one. It went from beautiful, to more beautiful and exotic, to commuter car. Although it may perform very well, the Skyline went from Historic to looking like some upside down bathtub.

 

Call me paranoid but any car thats radio'ing home is to smart for its own good. They probably can show you a map of exactly where the car has been driving for its entire life!!!


1000 bucks for a check up? they better be doing something godly for that kind of price.

 

Where was it that you got all this information?

Something tells me this violates the Privacy Act......and if its possible then you would think that they would put the rev limiter on while its on the streets so you don't have punk ass kids driving around in daddy's GTR racing anything under the sun...or moon for that matter...

Secondly, EVERY car with that kind of power should have a rev limiter built into it. If they want to curb street racing, put a rev limiter in it, and include a test for it when doing the emissions or safety tests.....take it off, pay to put it back on, AS WELL AS A FINE!

 

LOL I love those Opel Manta's, they look awesome. I saw a couple of them in Romania, I almost bought one at some point haha

 

ford gt40 does the same thing. I'd figure you could remove it somehow.

I agree however. Eh, I don't really have alot of interest in cars that expensive though. Sure they are cool but would you really want a daily driver 70k car? I can't even imagine driving something that expensive everyday. Maybe if I was a millionaire.

 

where theres a will theres a way.

cant just switch the turbo? oh, someone will figure it out, its called custom made.

sure it voids the warranty, but i think any custom set up on any cars does anyways, so who gives a damn.

Rev limiter? please lets not go there either. if its ECU controlled, someone will find how to remove it, period. Is Nissan really trying?

For 70k you can build up a cheaper car (say Gen coupe? hehe) and turn it into a beast that can match or maybe surpass the GTR anyways. Im still curious to see

as to how they will perform.
