Thankgoodness for GT-R

rc'Z · 04-28-2008, 11:57 AM

Thank goodness Nissan has brought out the GT-R.

It is truely an ugly sports car, maybe the ugly-est ever. Makes our Z4's a beautiful work of art!!

BMWJZ4 · 04-28-2008, 12:07 PM

idk about the ugliest ever....

MRulz · 04-28-2008, 12:55 PM

lol

S2peed · 04-28-2008, 12:59 PM

I saw it in person at the show and i thought it looked like a mean motha. I like the way it looks specially the rear. I lookd diff in person.

By the way it eats everything under $150K. It wips the 997 Turbo Porsche

bras0782 · 04-28-2008, 01:08 PM

So they build a monsterous power house of a car and put it in a butt ugly shell - why!?!?

Hawkeye · 04-28-2008, 01:16 PM

So only true sport car fans would buy it? I don't think it looks bad myself, saw it at the Chicago auto show and it looked pretty nice.

Yea I think its one of those cars you have to see in person. In person looks real good, muscular mean looking vehicle.

pbdm4k · 04-28-2008, 01:34 PM

Yeah, but when it comes down to it, what's more baller? Driving a Porsche or a Nissan?

IDK about you guys, but if I could afford either, I'd take the Porsche. Status is of higher value to me.

It's like driving a Bentley, who gives a crap if someone else has a faster car?! It's a Bentley!

Pic failure! And the answer is ME!

I would rather drive my current 3.0si than a Bently. I like sports cars and driving fast. Who cares how rich I look? Not me!

S2peed · 04-28-2008, 01:43 PM

I agree i will love to have a GTR and bust a ferrari butt even if i can afford both.

Yeah, but when you got a Ferrari, you wouldn't care about racing a Nissan now would you?

It's different when you're coming from a luxury marque and you're comparing to a marque that also sells $20k cars alongside its flagship $80k car.

And if I had the money to burn, hell, I'd rock one of these. And the Nissan ain't got nothing on this!

Now how many of you know what car this is?

VoiD · 04-28-2008, 02:00 PM

apollo

I'd take the GTR Spec-V

Brucewonder · 04-28-2008, 02:04 PM

gtr isnt a bad lookign car...i wouldnt mind driving one but not willing to pay for one in that price range.

FASTTOYS · 04-28-2008, 02:32 PM

I only like eruo cars. When I looked at the GTR at the auto show I liked it. Only issue its heavy & large but I would take one at MSRP, not over.

BigLeo48 · 04-28-2008, 02:41 PM

The styling is German vs. Jap...so it's personal.

What I don't like is Nissan/Infiniti's fit and finish. Not good at all. They build that thing along side the G35 sedans and they are very cheap looking when you look carefully.

We all know the Germans are expensive, but also rock solid. There's a reason why BMWs, Porsches, Lambo's and Prancing Horses are expensive. Attention to detail, high precision, good materials, etc. I know people will compare the GT-R to the Euro's, but it ain't apples2apples.

My 2 cents...BigLeo

There are cars I think look better, but ugliest ever? As far as performance is concerned, there is very few cars that rival.
