looks too sketchbooked... liek the lines of the car flare out too much. its obviously a NEW GT-R but doesnt seem flow like the original ones... meh. Saleen S7 FTW!!!! : )

It doesn't do anything for me, but I guess some people will be happy with it.The price seems about right, but as Whelan and ajflan said, I'd rather have a Z06. Or a ZR-1.Is this AWD?

I think the first prototype of the GTR was better looking. The front end has changed alot. the rear is still taking after the R34. I like the R32 and R34 better, but that's my opinion. it is pretty pricey too.

I actually like it better than the prototype.

bad.... (removed).... I have to agree with everyone else that for the money I'd get a z06. Plus a z06 can break 200mph all that aside... that car is still awesome!

It looks to me like they took the 350Z and made it more angular.

I like it but... like the theme here... I'd sooner buy a vette.Its going to be over priced for what it is. There also is no warranty on the vehicle of purchased used as a second owner within 1 year of the original purchase... its nissan's way of curbing mass buying for private sales.

I dig it. The big black panel in the middle of the front bumper looks a lot like the one on the front of the new GTIs.

I'd take it over a vette. How many of these do you see compared to vettes and Z06's? I like to be different. and I think the looks will grow on you a bit...

Totally agree. The looks have already grown on me and taken over my brain lol. Everyone and their dog has a ZO6 now!

Thats a good point. You would be more noticed and unique in the GTR. I might be changing my mind... if I had the money to spend on a car like this I would definitely want people to notice me.

I think it's got key Skyline features on it still.The tail lights, the car as a whole just looks like a Skyline IMO. Also, the fact that the rear of the passenger compartment (including rear windshield) is not just a straight slant and is sort of angled off before it slopes down to the trunk makes a world of difference. The whole rear end kind of points upwards including the fenders, rear bumper, taillights, and all that just like they do on the R34 and R33 Skylines. Also, the rear quarter panels are flared out like on the olds ones Skylines always have been expensive though keep in mind.

If this one holds any of that underhood or underbody, it WILL be worth every penny... Time WILL tell though...

(removed)...He is not particularly interested in Japanese cars from what I know. I don't think he has even one. I'll talk to him about it though lol. Then I'll test drive it and give you first hand report

I would say the IS-F too, but I'd be more interested to see if he picksup an R8 or the new LF-A or NSX. Heck have him get the R8 coming out with the V12 diesel!
Re: (Whelan)
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 4:12 am
by Merzbow
He's got an R8 already. Not the V12 model. I think it's in Cali though, not here in Michigan. I didn't see it at the warehouse last time I went...although he has bought about 10 or more cars between now and then already so maybe he moved it.

Does he have any classic muscle, would love to know what's in the stable for that category!
Re: (Whelan)

He has a whole warehouse of muscle thanks to my mom and me. He didn't have any when I met him so between my mom and I we reminded him of how amazing muscle cars are...unlike ferraris and other cars, you can actually feel a muscle car like it's alive.He has: -Around 5 Camaros from 1968-1969, including one similar to a FOOSE design SS with 572 in it-two late '60s Firebirds-15+ Corvettes ranging from 1955-2007, including Lingenfelter, Calloway C12, Calloway C12 raw carbon fiber version, Calloway C16 Roadster-Shelby Series 1-2007 GT500, 1967 GT500, 1969 GT350, 2007 Saleen 281-two Chevelles and Yenko Chevelle-Galaxy-1965 GTO, 1970 GTO Judge-two HEMI 'Cudas,-Shelby Cobra-two Challengers-Cougar Eliminator-1987 GNX turbo-1969 Superbee-2007 Ford GT-2006 Saleen S7 TTI consider the last two muscle cars because they are American and sound just like any other crazy modified muscle cars. Here's a clip of the S7:

Very nice list, especially with the GNX and JudgeAlthough he should have a Superbird in his collection.

Yeah he's looking for one. I would prefer a Daytona because I think they look better but can't be picky...well I guess he can (removed).He was on TV a couple days ago at the Barret Jackson Auction (sp?) bidding on a $420,000 GT500 for a good 5-10 minutes.He did not buy it BTW, he's not a idiot....$420,000 for a friggin mustang, gimme a flippin break.

see I think your waay to calm about this. I would be like a puppy in the window jumping and dancing (in the words of Ron White) "Pick Me!, Pick Me!, Pick Me!" aching for a ride or the chance to drive one of his cars.
