But just like the other cars they have tried to come back with that had turbos and no longer do such as the 350z and the rx-8 this GTR will have a v-8 not a TT setup. the pricerange is shocking to around 50,000 to 60,000 dollars once it comes, hopfully that brings an end to the mystery........ but when it comes to being jealous i think we should cause even the cars that we do have in commonm, they are always better tuned and have better spec than the cars we get here.
Edit:: btw, I'd pay 50,000-60,000 for it if it really makes me drool...
Considering that the current Nissan road race cars in Japan use a destroked and turbocharged version of the G35's VQ35, I figure that our GTR equivilent will get something similiar.
To the person above who said that the new skyline in japan is the same old motor with a new body, you're dead wrong. The RB26dett is as far as I know no longer a production motor.

he's not talking about that picture, he's talking about the other picture in the thread. (the one taken from a corolla)
i also saw one of the g35 coupe's here in SW florida with the exact same badging.. "skyline 350GT"
the guy was walking out to his car in the parking lot, so I asked him what he had done.. he told me that he just got it about 2 weeks ago, the infinity dealer put the badges on as an extra package, along with intake & exhaust.. it's still the 3.5VQ engine, so I'm sure it's only running a high 13 (or around there)

I was going 95 mph trying to take that thing... and to top it off, the guy was talking on his cell phone not even paying attention to how badly I was tryin to keep up w/ him in my little corolla lol
