M3 vs GTR in another spec
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=137346
Woah! two major price changes in under a year! No LC next year too, wtf! The GTR is a faster car but worth 20k+ more? No way. |

Ugh, another price increase.
In the article they say "boost margins". I would call that spinning. I'd be willing to bet it is "cut losses" to be perfectly honest. I posted a quick "back of the envelope" calculation long ago here that showed the GT-R was likely losing money on every car sold at the initial price. These multiple and large price increases are indications I was correct. |

I think edmunds tested out the GTR without LC and it did 0-60 in 4.3. Sorry guys but this can no longer b considered a supercar, being that its only about .3 tenths of a sec quicker then the M3 im willing to bet with a few good mods and chip then M3 will keep up easily.

Wow, no LC, $90k (over $68k initially), what a joke this is turning into.

It's still just a Nissan, no heritage there!

That price does not really apply, it is a converted number from Japanese currency.
Regardless, the GTR is growing on me. Ugh, I need a supercharger. |

Let's see these people engineer a better car than Nissan, rather than buy one that is subjectively better; which any idiot can do The GTR may be ugly but it's faster than a lot of cars out there even without LC. Which was kinda its point to begin with. I would rather have an M3 but even then I would be b*tching about a lot of things about my car. |

it does have a heratige, just not as prestigeous as the M brand, but a huge cult following none the less and always better performance numbers.
always electronics ahead of it's time. just never a fan of the styling, but no one can debate the performance. |
