Anything Chevy FTL. Hopefully you will end up making the right choice and go with the GT-R.

I assume GM now offers a factory Lingenfelter package?

If not, your post is worthless.

Yeah, because the Skyline belongs in this decision, right?

The aftermarket is limitless.

Factory offerings is what I'm comparing.

Ok guys, I saw my first black GTR in an HEB parking lot today and needless to say, I was impressed. Simply put, it looks badass. I know the thing weighs 4000 pounds but it really doesn't look like it does in person. If this thing had a true manual gearbox it would definitely be a contender for the next car I would buy.

Edit. I haven't driven the damn thing yet, but from what I've heard the lack of a true sports car feel scares me away too.

So by imaginary, you mean it completely doesn't exist in physical form, right?

I mean a car not available to the public (may never be) and one that most likely will not be sold (if ever produced) in the United States.

So something has to be released worldwide to be a "real car" and not imaginary?

It has to be obtainable by a consumer, wouldn't you believe? Also, a test mule does not a production vehicle make.

Using your logic, it would be a never ending debate.

-This car is fastest...
-No, this other car, which may come out some time in the future will beat it.
-But that car will be beat by the 2015 model.

And so on.

There's no doubt the V-Spec will be released. Released in the US? Nissan stated, "the US isn't ready for the V-Spec."


Besides, my original point was... the standard GTR was right behind the ZR1 in that test, and was behind by a very small amount. With the release of the V-Spec, what will GM do now? Didn't they discontinue the ZR1 due to their financial problems? Will they get their **** together so they can fund new projects?
