and philbar.. pick up a road and track... the announced the gtr as new king for the 70k range...

car and driver said the same

i know. it is supposed to compete with the Z06. in my opinion the Z06 wins cause it does not have a turbo menaing the engine is going to last alot longer and it gets good gas mielage and it can be used as a daily driver. and i do not like the look of any of nissans vehicles, they all look the same. and just because they say it's the best dont mean it's the best.

most of the HP is still produced by the engine itself.

I would say around 350HP if it were na. I know V6 maximas can put out 270hp, and thats just a 3.5L V6.

 

[philbar71]

^ but the engine needs the help from the turbo's it cant do it all by it's self. lets see them get 480hp natuarly aspirated.

Any suggestions to make photoshop run really poorly so my wife gets upset and tells me to build a new computer?

The new z get 330hp of of a 3.7l v6 so I would say 350hp is a good guess.

I would bet the skyline is more reliable than the corvette even factoring in the twin turbo's.

WHAT? the GTR is not going to last as long . what makes you say that? the turbo puts MORE stress on the engine then running natuarly aspirated.

Install 1000 fonts, 1000 brushes, a bunch of filters/actions, make a really really small partition and make that the scratch disk?

Yes and Nissan> Chevy when it comes to reliability.

The engine was made for turbo....its not a regular engine.
that you can find in any of their other cars.

secondly, it was designed based off nissan's line of racing engines.
