What's with the multiple posting?

My response:

Jap Trash. Every rice rocketeer has been flexing the "Skyline" muscle that they've never driven for years now. Yeah, it's pretty impressive, but it's a me too attempt in the American market. It'll sell well, but like most Jap cars... it lacks soul. Money better spent elsewhere.

Well first of all this car hasn't been tested, there estimates. If this car does go 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 11.7 in the quarter mile it will be as quick as the 08 not faster. Also its an AWD car so it should have an advantage in the 0-60.....

Predictions:

>Fast, but not as fast as mfg claims when actually tested.
>Rare, hard-to-find when first introduced.
>Heavily discounted when unsold at the end of it's first year of introduction -- not in demand (kind of like the M3 is now, stealth, sedan-looking speed is just not in vogue anymore).

You are aweful. Do you have anything constructive to say at all? You give viper owners a bad name, all by yourself.


But the GT-R weighs 3836 lbs and has 473 hp and 433 torque (probably underrated, but it wouldnt matter). It's another car to have fun with at the track. Car guys respect all makes, blind fools cant respect anything other than what they are driving (I.E Warfang)

This coming from a monkey that can't count past 2.

I said it's numbers are impressive (some people call that respect), then I pointed out what I thought was wrong with it. It is called an opinion. You DO know what that is right? Unless you think only yours count.

Why are you ruining another thread? You just argue and lose every time, you try and sound smart but fail miserably. Its funny to read your posts cause your always wrong. "It's another car to have fun at the track" first how would you know, are you from japan and driven this car before? Also its more like a base 911, a car to drive daily but to be fast also and to gain attention (2+2 seating, AWD, auto trans). You lose........

Seriously guys, this new GT-R is going to quickly fall into the category of 'who cares' ... about as interesting as some new hot turbo SAAB or something ... the rice crowd loves those $25K hot rods, and the $35K Infinity coupe, but there isn't the same volume of affection at the $75K-$80 price ... it could become the biggest automotive flop in recent years.

Right on. It'll be like the latest incarnation of the GTO (which I own... nice car): Too expensive for the ricer crowd, too "meh" for the people with money. So the only buyer will be the aged ricers that have recently won the lottery or the ones that somehow saved enough money by not blowing it on shopping cart wings on their civics.

Somebody explain how a car car with 473hp 433 torque and weighs 3800lbs is going to be as fast as a 600hp 560 tq and weighs 400lbs less. Who cares about what cars do 0-60
