2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo to pack 595 hp, lap Nürburgring in 7:08 I just wanted to give Timpo the warm and fuzzies on a Monday morning ;) Not sure of the value proposition given the overall ability of the regular models (or better yet a used one), but still good on them for continuing to evolve the car. 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo to pack 595 hp, lap Nürburgring in 7:08 - Autoblog Quote:

surprised you beat Timpo to it |
Timpo IS the Stig! :suspicious: Some say that his breath smells of magnesium, and that he’s scared of bells. All we know is he’s called Timpo. |
Pictures look meh, the back bumper looks a bit to busy IMO. havnt seen the front end yet though... |
GT-R is a technical wonder, and a chariot of the gods. 9.9/10 however, it is ugly. I dare say the big butt rear looks cheap. When parked next to a Ferrari it looks completely outclassed. |
^I'm tempted to say the aesthetics were almost a by-product of the performance rather than one of the main objectives of its design |

The whole front-end and grill looks so unnecessarily busy, then the side profile is just so plain, then the back end has this big black old lady butt, I can almost hear Aunt Jemima going "oh lawdy, sweet jesus" as it passes a turbo 911 effortlessly |
I still remember when the R35 came out almost 6 years ago reviews said it likely wont achieve much performance gains unless there's serious modification to aerodynamics...then 2012 model came out breaking the 3 second mark...then AMS Alpha came out with one of the fastest street legal car...cool but not from factory and probably very unreliable...and now this Nismo version just took it to the next level. |
Just to see how fast GT-R really is..

It is still ugly as sin, seriously WTF is up with the rear on the Nismo GT-R? |
Paddle shifters are so superior for racing, I still prefer a manual for the street |
no pricing info yet but i wonder how much more nismo version costs over the regular or black edition. Speaking of GTR, is the spec V version even available in north america? |

compared it to other cars in its price range, it doesn't look cheap... (e.g. z06, m3/m5, rs5, r8, carrera 4, etc) people just tend to compare gtr with more exotic cars like ferrari and lambo because it basically smokes all its competitors in its price range |
Looks like the 'Ring car is a ringer. Quote:

^So you're saying that the car is still gonna be freakin' amazing. I love how people keep trying to knock the GTR but end up comparing it to higher and higher models. "About a week before the GT-R’s time was released, Porsche proudly crowed that its 918 Spyder managed the job in 6:57" I think the 918 is around $900K? |

I find the GT-R amazing yet simultaneously soulless |

As an automotive and technology enthusiast, I don't really care about the brand slapped on anything with an engine and not on a rail if it goes like stink and priced at a fraction of other competitor , it is impressive as hell... and yes I prefer a proper manual gearbox more than anything .. |

BRZ looks sexier than the GT-R by far. |

personally not a fan of the BRZ, so I disagree with you. I'm not a GTR fanboy either. |
