one expensive puppy

 

These are gonna all be picked up by Japanese tuners and race teams...

 

wow. 170K and for what? Ridiculously unnecessary brakes, 132 lbs weight loss, 15 tq for 80 seconds and no HP increase....anyone who would actually buy this is....special.

 

All of the numbers released are from Nissan correct? There havent been any independent tests just yet. I do think that 170K is a lot for what is listed, but this car could quite possibly outperform other cars listed at the same price just like the GT-R does.
At the end of the day though, if I had the money, it would go to a non spec-v GT-R

 

Absolutely atrocious. What were they thinking???

 

+1

 

I wonder if Nissan has any official performance numbers for the specV. If I remember correctly, there were unofficial 'Ring times for the specV around 7:24 but nothing after that.

If Nissan wants to sell this car for $170K, they should provide some performance numbers to justify the price. Because as of right now, the listed specs do not justify the price. And if they think people are going to spend double the price of a base GTR for exclusivity, they are crazy. Somebody that has $170k to spend on a car is not going to buy a Nissan for it's exclusivity. To them, it's still going to be a Nissan.

Oh, and the exhaust tips are ugly. What the hell is "titanium-coated?" For $170k, they should be putting on a real titanium exhaust.

 

Yea my soul hurts too...

 

Anticlimactic, for sure. That 15 ft-lbs? What's that, 3%? Geez...

 

this is the most disappointing car to come out of Nissan in a very long time. Overpriced for absolutely no good reasons. The jump from a base corvette to a Z06 to a ZR1 makes sense... but wow this car doesn't even add more power and costs almost 2 ZR1s???

 

They are not about to release specs for it because they have eliminated Launch Control. So the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times will go down. They are not about to announce that....

I think FAIL...

 

It only costs so much because of the NISMO exhaust, and probably all the other overpriced NISMO parts that may be on it, LOL.

 

they should drop the overkill brakes and offer the car for 125k

 

Dang at that price I would rather look into a Porsche 997 Turbo

 

oh man, this is such a ZR-1 killerrrr!11!!!!!


You might as well buy a base one and mod it, this is a waste.

 

One of the locals here started modding his GTR with CF race seats, Dry CF parts, much lighter wheels, etc and I think he has dropped 200 lbs from his car. He is also doing different downpipes and different mid-pipes and A Cobb tuning access port.

He has built a Spec-v and still has his back seats. Most of the stuff donated or at a good price from sponsors.

If this is the spec-v, I am really disappointed. And are these only available in Japan? No US-Spec? I was hoping some one here would pick up a Spec-V and sell their GTR to me :-)

 

Wow a whole 15lb ft. So all their shitty exhaust did the same numbers as the old setup? You can gain more power by getting rid of cats.

I'd much much rather take a ZR1.

 

nissan sucks..........................told you guys.

porsche wins

 

For all you know the car is highly underrated, and will outperform the standard GTR by quite a few. Nissan is improving things that will help the specV perform well on a tight track, such as weight and brakes.

Although, if I could, I would just buy a standard GTR, get dry carbon bucket seats, Light 18/19'' wheels, straight pipes and a single outlet exhaust and call it a day. 500whp and minus 150lbs..
