Default Skyline GT-R Released

What's up guys? I've been on here for a while and seen some talk about the new GT-R coming out. Thought that maybe you guys would find it interesting to see what the final product will look like and such. The pictures were really big to post but I have the link to the forum where I found it. The article is interesting to read as well. Check it out!

Below that I found a video of a supra too that I thought I would share cause it's just nasty lol. Here that is!

Agreed... that guy is a ******* moron for doing that on a road with other cars. TAKE IT TO THE TRACK DOUCHEBAG, or at least an abandoned road.

^No problem. I didn't really consider that issue with the supra but yeah your right. That thing doesn't need to do that on the street.

Looks like "Pimp My Ride" got ahold of a 350Z with a 500hp engine and slapped a $70k sticker on it. Is that supposed to be the answer for the Z06?

Pretty cool car, but I'd never pay $75K for it.

For $75 large...I'd rather build a very fast LS6 Z06 or a Trans Am. I think those pics are pretty close to what we've posted in the past.

It really is to early to tell even at this point what it will be. But with the handling help form Lotus and The motor help from Cosworth it should be sick. Plus I guess the new front end of the car will be made of carbon fiber for weight. Personally I'm just happy they didn't make an Infinity and its not going to be a V8 but rather the VQ motor Twin Turbo Charged. I'm tired of these Evo's and STi's thinking they run the all wheel drive world.

The Z06 is definetily an amazing car for the money and all around. But Nissan is not after Chevy or the Z06 really. Nissan goes after Porsche all the time but dodge on the other hand has come with the answer for the Z06 over here

That might be enough right?

I really don't like the front end too much. The car does sound badass though. Can't go wrong with 500 hp and awd, that makes for a very fun car! I don't think I would pay 75k for it though, just my opinion. I do like it though, there's just other cars I'd rather have for that price.
