While the "regular" GT-R is busy bringing down giants and collecting hardware in the process, the new GT-R Spec V promises to improve on the formula, and probably cure cancer or bring about world peace along the way. Here are the numbers: 2 seats only, 520 hp @ 6500 rpm, 440 lb.-ft. of torque all the way from 3200–5200 rpm, 3615 lbs., 'Ring laps quicker than 7:30, $130,000 MSRP, early 2009.

 

 

i'd take a used GT3 RS please in green

 

By those numbers it sounds like the regular GTR is the better bargain. $60k on top of the $70k price tag of the regular GTR, I would have expected more from the Spec V.

 

too much venom

 

I think Nissan is going to fail by releasing a Spec V.

Just my opinion.

 

So you think Nissan is going to fail and not just the V-Spec

 

No, I meant to say just the V-Spec, but I guess I said it wrong, so my bad.

I don't see it as a very business-like move. I wouldn't pay $130k for a Nissan.

I know Nissan isn't a bad car company, but there's just better quality and luxurious things out there.

 

Edit - Never mind. I hate that we can't delete our posts now.

 

Just say it. I'm curious. :P

 

Oh it was nothing. You guys just had me confused and I was going to ask if it was V-Spec or Spec-V.

 

I think that once the GT-R has completely paved the way for Nissan being considered a major contender in the high performance market, the Spec V will do alright. Limited production and a price that is still a bargain to be the undisputed highest performer on the road will ensure sales IMO.

 

Considering the V-Spec will probably be bought by hardcore fans/drivers, I don't see it failing due to the fact that the production is supposed to be really low compared to the base GT-R.

 

There's wealthy people that will be more than happy to purchase a new V-Spec with it's very limited production. This does come with a warranty too.

 

V-Spec-V

 

They both seem probable, but we really won't know until it happens. I forgot that there would be a 'low production' on them, so that changes everything. But I mean, the extra $60k mods would really have to be justifiable for someone like me to consider buying the 'V-Spec-V ()' version. If all they did was a suspension upgrade, take out back seats, and turn up the boost, then I wouldn't even consider it.

 

It's interesting though that it will be $30K more than the ZR1 a car that will be it's direct competitor

and it's Spec-V, my fault on the thread title

 

I forgot what the amount was but I thought it was supposed like 25 a month

I'm sure Matt knows.

 

I agree... I wouldn't have expected it to be THAT much more than a ZR-1

 

you would also need to throw in the Viper ACR in to this small group too.
