The brakes and the seats are amazing. Not worth the extra money though...

It'll be hard for us to say it's over-priced if its not coming to the states.

At least he got that right.

1st thing they should do is give the GTR stronger gears it deserve with launch control option on spec-v and get rid of warranty void on it. That alone may worth a few more K, but not 170K.

I'm very dissapointed

I'm sure i've read somewhere that the specV was suppose to have at least 100 hp more.

It was said in an article last year that the spec V wasn't going to have any more power. It clearly stated that the initial launch would be a car with less weight and other upgrades, but no more extra power would be made. This way later on down the line when they need to (1-3 years later) they can simply add more power to it to keep it competive with other cars. Not sure why people are so shocked about it still having the same power when it was stated in an arcticle several months ago that was also posted here at my350z.com

we are not the target market for this vehicle (for 99% of us anyways). A lambo owner paid 150k just for the regular gtr and loving it. Imagine us making 300-600k a year.. we will still think it's steep, but it will be much more feasible for purchase.

we can complain all we want, but the fact is, there will be paying customers who will buy them.
