My thoughts exactly.

But you do get an AWD, 6-spd, 400hp beast...

That article is from the 2001 tokyo auto show. the GT-R is coming in 2007 and looks to be twin turbo V6

Thank god cause a v8 Nissan Skyline is like having a 69 Camaro SS with a 4 banger in it. Something about it just aint right.

[pradamike]

[niterydr]

If i was giving up those 2, the rest of the package may as well go with it. But yeah I would definatly roll in that.

Sure hope that wasn't a knock on the 3g.


I love it. I believe that the basic shape and aspects of that car will end up on a lot of other cars in the future. The Eclipse, 350Z, Celica, RSX, and all those others. I think they're great looking cars. But you're all DSM'ers, 1g's and so forth, so this is like trying to sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves (Tommy Boy)

I love it. If (when) I win the lottery, I'll have one in every color.


And a 10 sec daily DSM

it sure was a knock on the 3gs i dont think my 1g or 2g are the greatest styling, but ill take their styling 8 days a week over the 3g. help the kids

I'd rather they kept the proven RB26DETT inline 6 engine. Twin turbo V6s are just messy and complicated. Trust me, I own one. Of course maybe Nissan will do a better job than Mitsu; I'm sure they'll at least have the engine turned the right way and not put a turbo up against the firewall. :headache:

[JDM]

On the one hand, yes, an I-6 would be more ideal than a V6, but this should keep the price down.

I don't care what it is, it's still better than just about anything we can buy now.

[FattyBoomBatty]

that's a nice bodykit on that 350z.

i think they won't have a drastic body change for the "performance" version.

you can already get a "skyline" if you want, you can get the AWD G35 6spd sedan, put the driveline in a G35 coupe, get the greddy turbo kit with intercooler and bump the psi to 10, and there you go. twin turbo, AWD, 6 spd 2 door skyline.

lame.

all true sports cars are rear wheel drive.

You can toss a bunch of parts on a garbage heap and call it whatever you want. Thats not the car people are looking for, a generic looking non Attessa AWD with a very generic V6 not built for boost.

The beauty of the skyline's AWD was its RWD characteristics. And if you want to get real technical, the truest of the true sports cars are RWD to be certain, but the engine is not in the front.

must be why everyone was going AWD until it was banned from most motorsports because of the unreasonable advantage it gave over rwd cars. wtf is a true sports car? is a "true" drag car supercharged because top fuel ones are? a true sports car is a car designed for motorsports.
