man this is getting funnier by the minute. So now Nissan is going to GT1 so that they don't have to use their factory car and they can build an all out race car with a different engine and badge it as GTR. Just another smoke and mirror campaign by Nissan. They did this in the 80's with the Nissan that blue eyes drove and it had a V8. They are so good at smoke and mirrors. This pretty much shows Nissans mentality. lies, lies and more lies. They will definitely use the GT1 class GTR in the propaganda when they sell the GTR's. haha

Guess what P-car fanbois? GTR just won another award, this time it won the Wheels 'Best driver's car of 2008'
At the end, It was down to the Gallardo and the GTR and both were pretty much even throughout the test. But the final test where both cars had to go flat out up a crest and through a right sweeper saw the Gallardo having to 'back off' slightly, whereas the GTR was able to go flat out while still remaining stable. Simply awesome.

I believe in "fair and balanced," so I'll report this here.

You know that black plastic skirt piece of front under the front bumper on the 997? The one that always scrapes on driveways--- especially if your car is lowered at all? The one that costs ~$120 and can be replaced in 10 minutes?

Well, I managed to mangle the equivalent piece on the GT-R by running into a branch/log. How much for the part would you guess? Well, first you need to know that is part of an assembly and is riveted together with an under-body panel. It is only available as a unit.

$1550 is the price of the part.

Nuts.

imagine that, it just came out and it's winning all sorts of awards. Next thing you know Nobel peace prize winner, Al Gore will be driving one, since his research is nearly as monumental as the awards the car has gotten

Uh, more like Ferrari pricing. The porsche Skirt is $150, Nissan 1300, Porsche clutch $1000, Nissan $20,000. How much are GTR wheel lugs? $1000? In the trunk of every GTR is a tube KY, and it is there for your use so that when the service shop sticks it in your azz it doesn't hurt as much

Question ?

When's the next update for GT5 ? I hear them new US tooners are startin to show up and I don't mean any tuner from few blocks away from 7/11, but the baddest, meanest American supercar tooner bad boy John H Performance that's been turnin vipers into veyron killers

All I can say is he






























Imagine what a 700hp GTR could do to a ZR-1, engine disassembled and upgraded *cough* by a badass tuner that knows his **** from V10's/12's and Veyrons

http://wot.motortrend.com/6388470/tu...t-r/index.html



Who's your daddy ?






Note: If anything breaks you'll have to take it up with Nissan sales they've been spreading their LC BS for months, John H is an honest man and he never ever tried to rip anyone off.
