So that is official is it? The HR has got beefier rods and block?
Has anyone got pictures comparing the two side by side?

my biggest concern is if the engine goes, wtf do you do? worst case scenario the block isnt salvageable, how much is a new HR gonna cost you?

It's one thing to own a GT-R, it's another to own a 600-700whp TT Z. I understand what you're saying, but how many current TT Z owners are sharing that sentiment?

I would too if the GTR was offered in a standard 6MT. As impressive as the 6 speed double clutch auto is in the GTR, I'm not fond of it (imagine the cost to upgrade the clutches for extra power, if even possible?). Still, a 700whp tt Z is a 700whp tt Z, can't reallly knock that.

if i could afford a gtr or a 700whp tt'd z, then had the money to mod the gtr to need a stronger clutch, 5k extra for a clutch wouldn't be much of a problem

and if someone were to give me one or the other for free, i'd still take the gtr, and it'd stay stock, well maybe minor mods, and it would be infinitly more reliable than a 700 whp z

a standard 6spd MT is fun at the drag strip, but on a road course, paddle shifting manual is where its at, i'd buy myself a firebird or camaro for drag racing to satisfy that bug
