Finally here!

IMO The normal GT-R looks better, The exhaust on the SpecV looks funky and I'm not a fan of the wheels.

Hmm, 160,000$$$

All I see is a little less weight and a new boost whatever, what makes it so much more??? Plus there is only seven mechanics in the world that can even work on the damn thing. This is stupid.

EDIT: Wait I see it has bigger carbon ceramic disk brakes, thats an extra 40,000 dollars right there.

Not if you ask GM and the zr1

I was trying to be sarcastic, but I have obviously failed.

That's getting up to F430 territory, which is a little better looking ; )
Ferrari vs. Nissan. What a stupid comparison.

I'll take this over a GT-R SpecXXXV

*Camaro_Corvette* · 01-08-2009, 11:56 AM

Much rather have one of those^

Of course getting that damn thing an oil change costs an arm and a leg though... I will stick with a ZR1 if I got the money!

Never been a fan of the look of either the GT-R or now the GT-R V... Just doesn't do anything for me at all.

Me too, anybody who takes the specV for 50,000 dollars more than a ZR1 is a fool.

SilverTurtle · 01-08-2009, 12:42 PM

GT-R + $20k in mods > GT-R SpecV

and I agree: for $160k, get a Ferrari... even a used one looks better and performs about the same.

96CAMaro · 01-08-2009, 02:16 PM

I would rather buy a Corvette ZR1 and a regular Corvette for the price of one GT-R V-spec. Or better yet, how about one ZR1 (~110K) + one Camaro 2SS (~33K) + one used car as an economy car for getting around (~17K).

96CAMaro · 01-08-2009, 02:17 PM

My bad, I mean SpecV.

Ya plus the babe factor makes the Ferrari a no brainer.

an oil change on a specV would probably cost close the the same... unless of course your a rich person that does work themselves

I think Nissan is just diggin themselves into an even bigger hole. It's sad since i grew up around Nissans (280z, 240sx,300zx,350z) and really like them.
