drifty325i 0 Report post Posted February 29, 2008 Nice post! cheers for that. The GTR is a true beast, what a supercar. Im looking forward to a factory worked up M3, Like a e92 M3 CSL but the GTR will still be in full road going trim and more than likely still beat it. The 911 needs some work, gotta love the R8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HossE36 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 Gotta love the GTR, have been a fan since the first R32, has outlasted all the major japanese competitors, toyotas supra and hondas nsx, and now its kicking euro ass!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 The GT2 cost so much more though, its not even in the ballpark. So, doesn't reinforce the point even further? Why compare it to a lesser vehicle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

togate 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) good read. the gtr is really wide compared to the others. not a very sleekline design. i would take a white r8 out of the 3. Edited March 1, 2008 by togate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 The M3 got a bit out-classed here. GT-R is amazing, any info on price and release date in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 474 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 There's at least one black one here already, saw it in Parnell on D plates 2 weeks ago. Unofficial import at a guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 I saw a black one on Friday in Penrose with EEG or something similar plates. Looked awesome, but sounded like a standard boring 4cyl sedan. I was disappointed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Nissan first announced the new GTR they bluntly said there first goal was for it to be a Porsche turbo beater. That's were Nissan see its competition, and the Porsche turbos competition is the new M3 and the Audi R8 so its only natural to compare them all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was disappointed There is ONE black one here at the moment - it belongs to the Head of Nichibo. He used to have that black R35 Skline coupe on 20's.
