This car is built to be one helluva machine. Edmunds has already done personal tests and gotten it to go 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.6 and that wasn't even in ideal conditions. The GT-R does smoke most of what Porsche has out there right now, the lone exception being the Porsche Carrera GT with is a $500k car. Nissan bought and tested a Porsche 911 Turbo along side the development of the GT-R and as a result it is a car that is faster, handles better, and beats its price by tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, it will remain to be seen how this car holds up. The engine is basically brand new (extreme evolution of the VQ motor), rear-mounted tranny has rarely ever been done before, AWD... theres a lot of stuff to potentially break. But if they did their homework, like I believe they did, I think car will earn its place among the exotics. Btw, first year, don't expect to pick one of these up for less than $90-100k. Mark-up is going to be ridiculous. Only six production cars had a faster time around the ‘Ring than the GT-R and all of those cars cost in excess of $400k.

Ive lost count on transmissions and clutches since '03 but the G37 tranny is outstandingly better .. i agree john paul .. lets hope they did some serious research and development with the transmissions.. the 350z/g35 coupe didn’t do to well in that department..

Rumors had a select few technicians going to the factory in Japan for four weeks. Dealers already strapped for cash so Nissan is having GTR specific technicians learn in the US. This is a huge gamble and expensive for Nissan Dealerships that have to purchase special tools special alignment racks and GTR super tech training. I think this should put Nissan back into the performance arena. I will let you know how I feel about GTR when I go to Nissan School early spring.
