If what R&T is saying is true then I think it's kind of overpriced unless there is information missing. I believe I've read somewhere that it won't have adjustable dampeners but even that doesn't justify the extra money IMO

 

When you say 25 more month, 25$ more a month as in the payment?

 

I meant 25 built per month. It may be less than that though.

 

I can't imagine that price is correct unless it is a track car, like the 370rs or whatever.

 

I'm pretty sure the back seats on the GT-R arent made of lead so taking off 300 lbs will probably need a little more then that... and I agree the price seems a little high from the numbers there saying... and no crap it will lap the ring in less then 7:30 lol the normal one does that... I think they should make it around same price as the ZR-1 as thats really gonna be its best bang for the buck competition...

waiting for more details...

 

It probably has carbon ceramic brakes and lots of carbon fiber on the body panels. It was speculated that Nissan would include CCB if it helps in the braking department. At that price, they better include it.

It was also mentioned before that Carbon fiber will be used on the hood, fenders and doors. Let's hope that is the case. $130k is alot of dough.

I hope R&T is wrong and that the MRSP is around $100k.

 

Yeah i would have thought it would be 100k base and 130k loaded with markup. I wonder if they changed anything on the awd system.

Would the Super HICAS system/rear active steer improve the performance of GT-R in general?

 

is it me or does the Lexus LF-A look like a 350z with a body kit?

 

I doubt Super HICAS would do anything for the handling. It's used mainly for high speed. I hated that on my ztt. I think still STILLEN even came up with a hicas eliminator.

 

i doubt they will add the Super HICAS system... its never been put on a GT-R before (i think) and it would add weight, not remove...

personally, i've never liked the HICAS system... i almost lost it in my 300zx at 140mph cuz of the HICAS system...

BTT - i also hope MSRP on the spec-v is closer to 100k... 60k markup for a retuned motor/suspension and CCB seems a bit high...

 

if spec-v will msrp around $130k, I wonder how much the mark up would be? $150k and up??

 

A base ZR-1 sticker is $110,000 bucks. Thats with no options what so ever and they are only making 1500 of them. So its gonna be more like 130K plus for a chevrolet and they will all sell out. I dont think Nissan is gonna have much trouble with spec V at all..

 

Really? If it isn't that good why did they add it as an option go the G35 coupe(and I think the G37 may have it also as an option), but the call it now rear active steer.

 

Because G's are not meant to be ball-to-the-walls track oriented performance vehicles. Daily performance and comfort is it's focus.



Anyhow...with 20-30 or so built a month, and the handful of wealthy enthusiasts, tuner shops and race teams wanting to promote or be competitive, Nissan will probably not have a problem selling these Spec-V-Spec.

 

One was on Ebay for $200k+

 

I'm pretty sure all the previous gen GT-R's were "V Spec", the Sentra was labeled "Spec-V".

 

I highly doubt they would put rear active steer as from what ive heard this system actually would slow down a professional driver by kind of second guessing them on corners and it will add weight to an already fata$$... and i believe they used it on previous GT-R's, 300ZX, and G37's...

 

i bet you they will sell every Vspec they want to make.
