Saw it at the Auto-Show. The looks are a bit over the top for my liking. But with all the performance and those performance gadgets and adjustments, not to mention the mods that will be available, make it a pretty interesting platform.

All previous GTR's I've seen(Australia) look great in grey or silver...this one is no different...not so sure about the other colours.

The R34 was the size of a corvette, only about 18" taller: about the size of an LS430. Since when did it become acceptable to have an "exotic" car NOT exotic? I like my exotic cars low, mean, & unique, & not huge. (ZO6, Mustangs, GTR: all too big).

I'm glad for Nissan that the car looks better in person, because it sure doesn't in video/pictures.

Mark.

The car is stunning in white and black. I'm thinking about 600hp to the wheels with only exhaust and chip.

Last time I check out the Japanese tuners, it's around 530hp with chip, and 570hp with intake+chip

Wish to include your source? perhaps a Dyno Sheet? So I was off for about 30hp, I'm sure the amount power generated varies from tuner to tuner.

The car is a beast! I think most car enthusiasts will appreciate the car for what it is.

anyone know why some bumpers have vents below the headlights and some don't? IMO, the bumper with the vents look so much better.

The GT-R has given Turbo owners the *******, even if they won't openly admit it.
