new Nissan/Infiniti GT-R (no longer a Skyline)

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Oct 25, 2005, 12:33 PM

they dropped the soft name, and finally have given us a better look of where the design is going. here is the official site so go through the pictures yourself.

the skyline is a legend, im just happy they are dropping the name. i dont get these soft gay names i.e. silvia, fairlady? wtf.

daedal · Oct 25, 2005, 12:52 PM

Very nice. New work wallpaper.

Lowfat · Oct 25, 2005, 05:00 PM

can't saying i like it at all. The rear looks hot, but the front....ewww, and the sides...can't say i dig those either. a G35 looks like twice the car as that thing.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Oct 25, 2005, 05:24 PM

the front lights will be changed a bit, all concept cars have wierd lights. the back is really good little touches are needed. they shouldnt hang so low.

Lowfat · Oct 25, 2005, 05:32 PM

the headlamps are the only thing the front has going for it, i hope they don't change them. the grill has to go though.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Oct 25, 2005, 05:34 PM

the grill is like the old skyline, they need to keep it. the lights are drastically different

pr0digal jenius · Oct 25, 2005, 05:37 PM

the hood sucks, the front grill(all that black plastic shite) sucks even harder, the side "vents" look like they were lifted straight off a Hyundai Tiburon, the tail lights are far to reminiscent of the ferrari enzo/460, and the over all lines look like a 350Z was sodomized by an audi TT.

I'm terribly dissappointed. This car could suck a cab driver through immigration faster then you can blink....

...that's a lot of sucking going on

INSTG8R · Oct 25, 2005, 06:13 PM

awww they killed it....

CDsDontBurn · Oct 25, 2005, 07:46 PM

i like the front end of the car, but the rear end i don't. i don't like tail lights that sink in like those. and at first reading the thread, i thought that it was going to be about the G35.

IMO it looks like a re-done 350z

Dark Lord · Oct 25, 2005, 07:58 PM

glad im not the only one that thought it looked like a bastardized 350Z

CDsDontBurn · Oct 25, 2005, 08:03 PM

but it's what's under the hood that counts

.

anybody have any specs on the car yet?

Geminiwave · Oct 25, 2005, 08:03 PM

I wish they'd take the big red R off the front. ITs like they're giving a nod to Si-R modders (NEVER GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR ANYTHING! IT'LL GO TO THE RICERS' HEADS!) I mean its like saying "LOOKIE! THE R STICKER GIVES US AN EXTRA 30HP!!!!)

sigh.

I liked the name skyline by the way. Infiniti is the same name EVERYONE uses. Nobody used Skyline before.

pr0digal jenius · Oct 25, 2005, 09:30 PM

the big red R is copyrighted and is the skyline logo dude....

...lets take the S off of the turbo porsches too

and also, infiniti as in, the car company, nto the model name gemini....Nissan owns Infiniti...they are the same company...the G35 is the skyline chassis, and the 350Z uses about 30% the same sheet metal as the G35 coupe

Really though, whats under the hood is a beast of a straight 6, but for the dollars, it's nothing that can't be completely owned by a chevy...say...Z06? (which looks a hell of a lot better and comes in a convertibe

)

Geminiwave · Oct 25, 2005, 10:47 PM

its not the engine that anyone cares about...its that you can become nearly a street racing god in a GT-R with barely any skill. It takes corners like nobodies business.

we can say the same thing about the legendary corvete C6R or C5R. I hate ricers, the names have nothing to do with it. nissan has girly names in japan though. gt-r sounds tough. if i had a sport trim level on a car, i'd call it XT-R

the .R in the corvette line up is there for a reason. that .R designates it as a full fledge race car.

the Corvette C6.R

Corvette C5.R

pr0digal jenius · Oct 26, 2005, 05:05 AM

exactly...the "R" usually means something...until you get down to things like civics.

Even an Integra Type R was a damn cool car...

...the problem now is people buy the "R" sticvker and add it to other crap....

there's a "VTEC Tuned" PONTIAC GRAND PRIX here at school, for example

holy shit thats funny. you gotta get me a picture of that man. Type-R is not a puny thing I would say, its when you rice it up it is.

Dark Lord · Oct 26, 2005, 05:33 AM

lol i got you beat on that one.

saw some riced out POS in the parking lot awhile back. on his front fender was 350 for a chevy 350. his rear bumper had a huge V-Tec sticker, and his entire rear window was Type-R. i think it was on an old accord if i remember correctly.

pr0digal jenius · Oct 26, 2005, 06:33 AM

a 350 wouldn't fit in the cabin, much less the engine bay

pr0digal jenius · Oct 26, 2005, 06:36 AM

Sorry American Cars only for me for a while.

pr0digal jenius · Oct 26, 2005, 07:56 AM

american cars are slowly dying.

The camaro, the firebird....gone

the GTO....fugly

the vette...getting there(those headlamps are truly awful)

the mustang.....ame trashy retro feel as the t-bird

Dark Lord · Oct 26, 2005, 08:50 AM

you know, i thought the same thing about the vette when i first saw it, but i love the C6 now. besides, the first vettes had solid head lights.

not to mention the insane power and handleing it has. that 55K doller car blows some lower/medium end Ferrari's out of the water. that Z06 comeing out at 75K is on par with a Modena. and there fabled Blue Devil with a bare minimum of 600HP, god only know what the hell that things capable of doing.

SFOSOK · Oct 26, 2005, 09:57 AM

Lol, Ford is not American. It falls under the trendy catagory.

CDsDontBurn · Oct 26, 2005, 01:00 PM

*hugs my "american" mazda"

Dark Lord · Oct 26, 2005, 08:19 PM

*hugs my all american vette* well, in about 40mins i get to take it out for one of the last drives of the year. honestly, i cant wait.

Firstperson · Oct 26, 2005, 08:39 PM

I have been to japan and saw GT-R's...... BADASS cars period, 2007 is going to be awesome!!!!
