Technically, YES to that too. I used to own one and it said American Honda Motor Company on the engine and all body panels.

Lighten up guys.

I dont understand all you people what do u mean, when you say "its still a nissan"... You should know that Nissan has a very old and very succesfull motorsport history in their country. And it can and it build the ultimate street car who can easily beat porsche, ferrari and others... Maybe you should read a little about it if you donnt know what the thing is the GTR ant what history it has:

You are correct that the Skyline has a long history and racing heritage in Japan, but never on a world stage. Success in Japan doesn't really carry a whole lot of water for me.

 

well put. I think it is a great car and I have owned P-cars since I was 18 years old. You have to think Nissan is losing money on this car with an MSRP below $100K.

 

Like I have said before this fight has been going on for years and Nissan does the same thing every time and wait for porsche to release the turbo. And then builds the skyline to beat it. But anyway the gtr is a crazy fast and has a well built and total package mechinal wise. Personally this is a good thing to promote exotic car companies to not slack up (cough Ferrari cough). Aurca Nsx back in the 90's lead to the build of the F355. This is just going to promote another great car.

 

so any of you have $ down for this beast from the East?

 

GTR for sale at 1k over msrp http://www.g35frenzy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10660

 

I think it looks great still a nissan though

 

pay 10k now and wait for 18 months?
And no confirm pricing...
go for it

 

Drive a GTR and then drive a Porsche, even a Boxter or Cayman and you'll know why we buy Porsches and not those plastic bins.

 

I am always curious how safe these Nissans are.

 

I would nevery purchase one, and hate to see one pass me by at 120MPH.

 

You should call them, or read the whole thread.

 

You mean like the person who posts a picture of a super hot model as their avatar when they know she wouldn't give him the time of day in real life? Your GF may be great and all, but you still want the girl in the picture right?

Sorry bro, but Ferarri doesn't have its eye on Nissan when developing its cars. That is ludicrous. Ferrari is the only company that develops race cars first, then turns to the street. All other companies develop race cars to promote their street car offerings. The only shops that Ferrari has its eye on are its competitors in Formula 1. It doesn't matter what a mass market car maker like Nissan does - it will never make the boys at Fiorano stand up and take notice and it sure doesn't make them nervous at all. They target totally different markets and are in a class by themselves. I don't own a Ferrari - although I hope to some day soon - and I don't want to come off as a car-snob. But Ferrari is something totally different and at a different level than anything else in my book.

 

You should also read the whole thread.

 

I have...,(I am very trustful) the the guy is on 6speed online if you would like to talk to him.

In response to the whole ferrari thing, What I have read in other mags and books is that Ferrari F355 was built due to the fact the NSX was better than the 348ts. I don't if Ferrari is keeping there eye on nissan but what I do know is they take the NUR. Ring seriously. But I understand what your saying about Ferrari feels there in a league of there own and only cares about F1. Since Honda is an F1 comp. then your whole thing is logical. Thank you for your information

 

Don't feel too bad. Any inferiority complex you may feel regarding Ferrari is understandable.

If you think that Honda is a serious Grand Prix competitor to Ferrari then you don't know the sport. We'll have to see what Ross Brawn can do with them (note, a former Ferrari guy). In the end, you know what I meant. Ferrari is a WORLD CHAMPION. How far did Jenson Button or Barrichello get Honda last year? But your point is well taken. Honda may as well be Nissan if gauged by how much Ferrari cares about what they are doing - on the street or on the track.

Good luck.
