GT=grand touring, agreed...like the Porsche Carrera GT, Viper gts-r, 911 gt3, clk gtr, ect.....all inferior to your z06, especially to your nismo and definetely not supercars right?
hey.....maybe i did

Wow. Too many hormones floating around this thread, kinda knew that was going to be the case with the thread topic... Nobody will ever be "correct" cause there are too many people that feel they have to have 1 up on the next guy... It's hilarious

The new one is going to be virtually identical to the current gtr except that it is a few hundred pounds lighter probably because it has two less seats. It will hardly affect performance. And this is enough to swing your vote back to the gtr?

i thought nissan was going to use some carbon fibre parts to help lose weight????? they are going to free up a couple hundred pounds by removing a back seat?

If you're so concerned about weight, you should've bought a 350z base instead of a nismo, they're a few hundred pounds lighter than yours.

*edit* The 2nd Gen GTR's will have different trims. The one you're talking about is the GTR EVO SPEC (almost $100k), top of the line GTR with 530 hp. No backseats + more CF parts = 220 lbs less. The V-Spec will be delayed, and the base GTR will be a little bit cheaper < $60k. I stand corrected. However, I still do not agree that it is less of a sportscar than the z.

I didn't read all this but I like the GT-R and but if I have 70k cash on me I wouldn't buy it. I'd rather buy G37 and save some $$.
