GT-R is in da house!!

vladinecko · 06-24-2008, 06:26 PM

we just got a GT-R in for review at CNET. so much power, so little time. supposedly, it doesn't get too many looks in the streets - i guess it's the ultimate sleeper.

the seats are incredible. they literally hug you and won't let you slide from side to side. really nice. the back seats, that's a whole new story. as you can see from the pics, there is barely room for 2 fingers (where legs should be) when front seats are comfortably adjusted. i really don't know why there are back seats in the first place.

in any case, here are some pics i took. if there is something you guys want to ask or know about the car, let me know, we have it here until thursday.

how did u feel when u saw it, touched it or came near it??

SteelTorque · 06-24-2008, 06:34 PM

The interior looks really cheap to me. Maybe in person it will look better.

iatacs19 · 06-24-2008, 07:21 PM

How the heck does CNET get a GT-R?? Since when do they review cars?

e92leon · 06-24-2008, 07:29 PM

i want to drive this!

Bobby_Light · 06-24-2008, 07:33 PM

Hard to believe it doesn't turn heads. How tall was the driver to have the seat back that far?

e92leon · 06-24-2008, 07:37 PM

if you drove that car where I usually drive, you will get people all over your car....
lol
yeah.. hard to believe it doesn't turn heads!

+1, Its a Nissan.

Sure its a fast car but not my cup of tea.

The giant red R looks tacky- R= Rice

Stronie · 06-24-2008, 07:50 PM

Game over !!!

TiAg335i · 06-24-2008, 07:51 PM

Sure, interior looks cheap, but that doesn't change the fact that this car will kick your a$$

euro · 06-24-2008, 07:54 PM

I tell you guys something, and Im not trying to be a dick but I saw one of these in person this past weekend at the NASA weekend at Summit Point.

Lets just say Im so glad I didnt buy one of these. I really hate the interior.

PLus... The only people drooling over it were kids. All the old guys (seasoned racers and veterans I respect) thought my ride was the biz-ness and none of them even seemed to notice the GTR.
