so now you can no longer compair a tuned GTR to a stock Z/28 per say. ya know what i mean?
If you think GM takes their CTS-V's and Corvettes straight off of the showroom floor and runs them around the 'ring, completely untuned and untweaked, and then posts that time...well I've got some fine oceanfront real estate to sell you in Nebraska. That Nissan is fast. Get over it. Massive lie my ass.

Also twice the price
We'll see if the C7 brings something exciting to the table.

Other than looking like a car from 2004, sounds great. Horrible aesthetics.

I fear that some of you that limit yourselves to 3 brands will never understand this car.

Skyline + Nismo + low volume car = Expensive. Will I buy it? No, but I guarantee you there will be plenty of orders to justify building it.

Lmao. To bad your pretty much alone with that opinion... It's a amazing car and draws eyes everywhere it will go due to its looks.

Any car, regardles of make, model, etc that has its poertrain warranty voided by using the built in launch control feature is a P.O.S. backed by a P.O.S company.
And $200 K? Seriously? That is Lamborghini territory.

Well it is past Lamborghini in performance terms..... And the issues they had early on where forgotten about. Even by most owners of the early cars.

If the suspension is adjustable, then tuning it for the track you're running is what everyone will do, no? The article isn't really clear. Are they talking about an engine tune? If that's the case, you don't really change much for different tracks in an engine tune. . . I wish there was more clarity here.
i didnt watch the video.

yea, the info is kinda lacking.

there was a bunch of non production equipment to run that time, such as the tires, a reflash for even more power, different spoilers, different suspension.

that time was pretty much a farce.
