Um.. Skyline? That's the only "GTR" I know of.

It was absolutely a GTR, we also have a Nissan plant here so perhaps it was some high end corporate person.

 

with their launch control they are out of control off the line, and with that much power they will still destroy you from a roll.

 

I don't know whether or not to believe this story.

but a gtr has already been spotted in the US

just sell the Saab's and get a 9-3 turbo-x and with the money you save not buying the gtr, you could put into performance mods for one mean Saab

 

The hell with that, the saab cant even touch the GTR no matter how much money you put into the Saab just based on looks alone not to mention the performance aspect of it.

Saab turbo-x??? Am i the only one that is not impressed with this car at all? Its just a 9-3SS with awd and a new bumer.

 

Dang. I wantz one. Awesome story, I was about to ask if you had a jet engine modded into your trunk. Pics next time

 

yea.. GTR's were designed to beat 911 turbos.

 

Eh imo both aren't really anything special, the turbo-x is getting meh reviews, although it does sound insane, and the gtr has typically nasty ass japanese styling, although the ass shot is acceptable, i'd honestly rather have a previous gen gtr.

 

the saab above looks much better then you run of the mill turbo x.. i dont think they made the turbo x enouph of an animal to really turn heads.... when you make a special sport edition car, you need to give it ALOT more power,, not just an extra ten,, it needs to be making 300+hp on the ground. to really be the real deal.

although all the hype is around the GTR now, i personally would never buy one,, simply because id much rather have a corvette Zo6. Although everybody will be quick to point out that the GTR does all these great things.......... i simply like the vette better.

kinda cheap^^^

 

I don't think I'll ever want this car.

 

Jay Leno test drives the gt-r in this clip. Equates it to a lower hp veyron.

kind of hard to argue with that assessment imo.

 

His so called "expert" said "both the rear differential and the transmission..... are in the rear of the car."

 

Because they actually are. The transmission is oddly located in the back of the GT-R:

To create the performance of a $400,000 supercar, Mizuno started with an all-new PM (premium-midship) chassis. Distinct from the FM (front-midship) configuration of such rear-drive Nissans as the 350Z and Infiniti G35, the PM chassis features an independent-transaxle-based all-wheel-drive system. Sending engine output to a rear-mounted transmission is believed to be a first for a front-engine all-wheel-drive production car due to cost and complexity (it needs two driveshafts), but there are key advantages. The first is better weight distribution; a transaxle layout puts more weight over the rear tires and helps the GT-R achieve near 50:50 weight distribution under acceleration. At rest the ratio is more like 53:47.

 

"the twin turbos are embedded in the exhaust manifolds" just in case you wanted to slap on a GT BB, think again!

 

yeah bmw does that too with the 3.0tt

 

I believe you are you missing the point...... no shit the rear diff is in the rear, hence the name rear diff..... I am not debating the accuracy of what he said, just the fact that he said an object called a rear, thats always in the rear, was in the rear. I didn't highlight the transmission part because i'm familiar with that being done (ie porsche 944)
