I always said if I had the $$$ to buy an "attainable" exotic I'd get a Porsche 911 Turbo, the new Skyline has changed that...

Well the regular GT-R is rated at 480hp, which Dynos have already shown it to be underrated, so the consensus is that the actual HP rating is around 520-530. So add the 70hp of the V-spec, subtract 330 pounds, add better aerodynamics and better brakes and whatever else and the result should be a white substance in your pants.

The new GT-R is really growing on me. Then again, how can it not... considering its staggering performance.

330 pounds weight saving from a car? I dont think Ive heard of a roadcar shedding so much weight. a Porsche 997 Cup car is only about 350 pounds lighter than a road GT3 and its a stripped out race car with all carbon panels. 330 pounds is wishful thinking. But I can understand the car having 600bhp reliably but that still brings it back to Carrera GT (below Zonda F)bhp and its still 200-300kg more

The GT-R's magic electronic gizmos amaze me and depress me at the same time :mamoru:

Big respect for the car's raw pace though.

The Zonda and CGT both have manual trannies and RWD, the GT-R has a gang of virgin asian tech geniuses behind it,. 3 seconds faster over a 7.25 minute lap isn't all that much. As far as the 330 pounds, the regular GT-R is nearly 4000lbs, so it's not that far fetched. The CGT is only 3045 lbs. It's all very nutty.

the stock trim GT-R is a boat.. i'm honestly not that surprised they could reduce the weight by 300lbs at the expense of comfort and expensive materials.

Like a Corvette, even though it's fast (and cheap), it doesn't really do anything for me.

this is true... although they are technical wonders, i really want a car like an S2k or an elise. something i can feel while im driving. ya know?? when i tell most "car guys" my favorite car is the S2k, they look at me like :o and then usually say something about no torque, only 240 hp, or its not good for drifting. and then i know not to talk to them about cars anymore :o
