You can get either the Lambo or the Fezza in 6sp manual, but over 80% of buyers opt to spend an extra $20k+ to get the paddle op semi-auto 'box.

350Z's got heaps of aftermarket support... RX-8's not so much, but there's progress on the renesis front.

rumour has it mines is already working on some aftermaket goodies, and impul on a luxury package to complement it as well.

yeah i just got my first shipment of BLITZ supercharger kits (selectable on/off switching too ) and they are sweet, the rx8 turbo kit has been a steady mover over the last few months also....

the 350z kit is sweet and due any day for rhd release (atm only lhd) and the 4.5liter stoker kit is nearly finished also.

but why would u want a 6pd as opposed to paddle flappers? seriously? do people think they can change faster then 0.2 seconds and as smoothly? or is it the fanboy thing to want cause all real drivers use them?

i could understand if it came with a farkin 3 speed auto out of a VL ffs.

^^vl... 4spd even

So now your a homo/fan boy for loving to drive the old skool manual ?

I bagged out the new GTR because it *might* not have the 5/6 speed and it wasn't for either of the reasons you listed.

i know id rather have the DSG

Have you ever driven a car with DSG ?

just a side note...

has anyone noticed how similar (esp the fenders and side lines) the new GTR is to the Toyota FT-HS concept car?

http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/future/fths.html

It'll be at the Tokyo autosalon along with the GTR.

[dan_the_man]

alot of new cars/concept cars look the same. what more can you do with car styling?

[justinfox]

I have $10k saved for this, lol. shit I'll never make it

you've got 2 years. you can do eet. sell your manga collection.

[HotPlates]

The C pillar seems reminiscent of the 300ZX's poor visibility out the back.

I wonder how long it will take until someone buys and stacks one? (due to enthusiastic driving)

[NA_R33]

2 Years aye? i may be able to afford one by then.

For christ sakes what is wrong with all you people not being able to accept change and technological advancements, its a farken supercar! built to do be exactly that! if it needed a manual gearbox to be a supercar it would have one. You people are trying to tell a car manufacturer with billions of dollars worth of r n d and expertise in building cars how to do there job better??

[sh@un]

well- the new GT-R could be a lot lighter for a 6 cylinder car

but then, of course, it would have to use more exotic materials in its construction and therefore cost more

"The target is Porsche and other high-end buyers with a free 100k to spend on cars"

Nissan is trying to make a new coveted car by pricing it out of the enthusiasts range. This car has no name with people over 35 or anywhere the vehicle has never been sold. Do you really think a large number of doctors, lawyers and other rich individuals that can afford to purchase BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche will jump on the Nissan bandwagon?

Look at all the clowns that ride ridiculously priced Harley Davidson's when Japan makes bikes that are light years ahead. They are elitists that feel their machines are "real" motorcycles due to the history, pedigree and price.

whoa! where did YOU come from???

[M E S O G L E A]

My reply was towards WazR32GTSt (with no disrespect intended).

My paradigm is American, maybe that's why I'm jaded. Motorex screwed up importation for us.

I lived in California for 3 years, 45 minutes north of Los Angeles. I saw many a rich puke in the Santa Monica Mountains with cars well above double the price of truly a exotic JDM gray market import. Some of them thought they could drive them too.

Seriously; if a person was able to afford a European sports car I don't think he'll floss the strip in the new Nissan GT-R. That crowd will still buy the Euro because people will recognize it and the babes will flock.

[m3gtr]

this isnt a euro car forum, mate.

Whether or not the "rich" among any of us decide to buy the GTR, is irrelevant. This discussion is about how good the GTR is.

the gtr has engraved itself among all car enthusiasts. They may not want to buy it for whatever reason, but there is no doubt they acknowledge that it is a car made for serious performance.
