I heard that too, but no it's still a awd. It would of lost a tone more then 300lbs and would have had alot more wheel, there was none as you can see in the video.

Whatever the point is it's not rwd .

it's easily converted though. just disconnect the driveline. some people do this specifically to dyno the car on a 2wd dyno. and i think blitz has done it to drift the car.

$50,000 for just the brakes? STFU. Instead of criminals stealing nice wheels, they should target the brakes on the spec V

[jaspergtr]

lol!... not a good idea. nobody would buy them.

Lets see if Nissan lovers would dish out $170K for this one.

[jaspergtr]

well, being as they are only going to make 30-40 per month (possibly less) and possibly a limited year run, and not even coming to our shores, i think it will not stay long at global dealerships.

If they dont build many im sure they will sell them, but I would be way more happy with a normal GTR and an extra $100,000 that i could use to buy a 997 turbo or used ferrari etc.

I really dont understand $50,000 brakes. Especially since the ZR1 vette has the same brakes the Enzo ferrari has and they cost $10,000. I just think nissan could have done a lot more and better things with that $ to make a super gtr.
A year from now if they make a spec R for example that has 530hp new aero package etc etc for $100,000 the value of the spec V will tank. and heaven forbid one of the owners has to replace a brake rotor.

i agree 100%.

well the little spec v badge goes for over $1k. i'm slightly more upset about that. these prices are not an at-cost price, rather a 'it's better if just buy the spec-v instead of putting your own together' price.

it would make sense to discontinue the spec-v (maybe a 2 year run) before releasing the next model up. that would ensure sales of both models.
