Maybe what Nissan needs is a true SPORTS CAR to compete with comparison(ZR1,GT3,some may not understand.2seater,AWD and plenty of boost.!Then there would be no doubt.The Z would be a perfect plat form.

 

What exactly do you think the GTR is??

 

What category would you put the GTR in if you don't consider it a sports car?

 

did you not watch the fifth gear epsidoe of where they competited the gt3 bmw with the GTR?

 

link?

you are crazy. the GTR just came out and it already is re-writing the definition of a performace machine. Nissan is is so forward thinking with the first with the 240z and then with the R35 , they are in a league of their own....

 

Well they are getting rid of launch control in 2010, so that will cut down on it's great times.

 

Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

 

yeah, let's get rid of this gt-r thing and make a 400hp 380x....

 

wtf?

 

Did'ya ever read a post and wonder "did his cat start pressing keys on his 'puter while he was away?"

 

I think the exact OPPOSITE is true!

The GT-R performs like a $200k car, but only costs less than half that much. The GT-R is an amazing machine and even won Popular Science's award for tech of the year. Nissan proved you could make a maniacal machine without costing the driver his second mortgage. The car even dislocated Jeremy Clarkson's neck on the track.

Nissan already built a supercar, the price just doesn't show it. Trust me, if you drove it, you'd never have another doubt.

 

let's see Nissan make a 2,000lb sports car and i will be a believer!

 

i agree.... the gtr is an awsome car, but it is very heavy and dont have that SPORTS CAR feel.

 

so you have driven a GTR...?

 

I think what the OP was trying to say is Nissan needs a car that is lighter weight, 2 seater, etc. Now im just guessing, but I think what he meant is that Nissan needs a car about the size and weight of a Z with GTR power to compete with the ZR1. That is my interpretation.

Either that or he is just retarded.

 

not that one, theres a different one on youtube where they compare silver gtr with porsche gt3 or turbo and a bmw m3

 

GTR is nice but maybe we need a true High Performance sports car... Thats why we have Lamborginis & F40s & F50s & the Enzo. The new NSX will be nice.

 

now that i come to think of it, its been almost 1 year since i saw the gtr at the auto show and goin back next week. Man they took a freakin long time to launch that car. i have only seen 2 gtrs in person (on street)
