2009 GTR U.S Pricing Announced @ $69,850 [Archive] - Beyond.ca - Car Forums

welp it seems the price mention will be very close to if not same as the ZO6, so just take the canadian spec Z06 pricing and subtract a thousand or two. that should give you an idea.

Don't plan on it. Calgary if it's lucky will see 1. And it will have to be VERY lucky. Only 1 of the dealerships in calgary is open to getting one, and they don't want to incur the cost of the machines required to service the 1 GTR that they will be allowed to get.

However, I did year about a special edition of the 350Z that may be in the works for about $20k off the price if the GTR and running about 350-400hp. No AWD and probably no paddle shifting sequential gearbox.

Seems like a performance bargain. Too bad it's not a very handsome vehicle (I'll stop short of calling it ugly but it looks too contrived to be pleasing to the eye). Time will tell how this car plays out. As good as the Supra was people just didn't want to shell out that much money for a Toyota and this car costs much more. Corvette has name and heritage in North America while Skyline is more a teenagers wet dream car and unfortunately teenagers won't be able to get a sniff of this Skyline.

Do not underestimate teenagers who cream over this car over the years playing GT who become 30 something with loads of disposable income now (ie, most senior members on this board).

A bit faster around Nurburgring than the Z06 (7:38 to 7:40 something?? I'm too lazy to search). I know the Z06 will still destroy it with more straights.

That's nice and all but people that buy these cars probably aren't too concerned about gas mileage. If I had to choose between a Z06 and a GTR gas mileage would be at the bottom of my list of considerations. Will be fun to have the car mags doing the inevitable head to head articles. Brings back memories of the early 90's when they used to compare the corvette to the 300ZX TT, 3000GT, RX7, and Supra. Maybe Motor Trend needs to bring back the Bang for the Buck comparisons.

I agree with you on the MPG, but sooo many people do take it into consideration. This will be a good match up for sure, but on the other side too z06 with a cam, bolt on's and tuning will churn close to 500whp. I doubt the GTR will get that kind of power from simple mods.

Trust me I'm not hating on the GTR, infact I'm happy Nissan put it within price range, but will a Normal person chose it over a vette still?

Why not, bigger injectors, exhaust with some high flow cats and bigger DPs, turn up boost and a more aggresive tune might get you same results? Who knows, gotta wait a few months after release so some shops can get at it! :)

For some reason I thought they were running a NA engine in this thing. This changes everything...

600hp should be easy fuck both these cars are insane :)

Anyone know what the GTR pulls on the skid pad? I know the z06 is around 1.04 or 1.09 don't recall.

The GTR was running cut slicks and pulling over 2G's in the wet with those tires, as opposed to the Z06's street tires. I'll wait until we see a time with equal tires.

No one even realized this they just see the numbers.

With street tires I reckon that the GT-R would be slower then the Z06 around the ring.

Is the Z06 time the Jan Magnussen time? If so it was run on a closed course at 10/10ths, something that really can't be done with traffic.

What kinda tires can pull over 2G's in the wet? Are you sure that's not peak G's?

Yeah, I confused the numbers in my head, been a while since I read the article. It was 1.2G's in the wet, and over 2G's in the dry. I seem to remember that being skidpad G's, but I can't find the article to back that up.

'We used cut slick tyres' said Mizuno.

'I was not interested in full slick times as this bears no resemblance to a road tyre. 1.2G of force was being pulled in wet and over 2 in dry'."

Either way, I'd postulate that tires with those numbers are going to be more of an advantage than having to pass a few weekend warriors. The Z06 was on those godawful showroom-stock runflats, too.

I was going to say the same thing. Why do people assume that because something has 8 cylinders and is made by a north american company that it is old tech? The C6 is an engineering masterpiece in more ways than one. I heard that the GTR ran the ring on its stock tires and set the lap time record for a showroom model vehicle.

could be mistaken though.

Until I see proof from production-line cars using real tires, I refuse to believe any of these performance related claims. Until then, I'm sticking with my theory that all these 1/4 mile and Nurburgring results are from a super-ringer car with a bunch of teenage fanboys trying to hype the car on message forums.

Here we go again....yes the Vette uses a leaf spring, but not a leaf spring suspension. The spring they use is actually a composite piece that is lighter than standard coil springs while lowering the center of gravity and taking up less space. It does not do anything other than act as a spring. The suspension design is a highly refined, aluminum double a-arm setup at all 4 corners.

Push rod engines where actually invented AFTER OHC engines and are extremely compact and lightweight for their power output. I would wager that the Z06 engine is both smaller and lighter than the GTR engine while making more power and costing significantly less to manufacture.

Maybe the GTR should step up to the plate and run some titanium connecting rods....

Thats because the R34 never looked like a 300zx, now the new gtr is basically a humped 350z. Looks to similair.

You guys can comment about the corvettes suspension, and even the GT-Rs but is it worth it? The suspension in both cars pales to the RS4 with its rally banned suspension system!

It's like the article says, with the S5 comming out and it being cheaper, it would be a tough choice especially an s5 with performance package, that would be sweet! Audi interiors rule over all!

Dynos are in. Looks like Nissan's quoted 480HP is at the wheels. Depending on drivetrain loss, it's around 530-550 @ the crank.

Maybe the GTR should step up to the plate and run some titanium connecting rods....

Been there, done that. ;)

Seems like a performance bargain. Too bad it's not a very handsome vehicle (I'll stop short of calling it ugly but it looks too contrived to be pleasing to the eye). Time will tell how this car plays out. As good as the Supra was people just didn't want to shell out that much money for a Toyota and this car costs much more. Corvette has name and heritage in North America while Skyline is more a teenagers wet dream car and unfortunately teenagers won't be able to get a sniff of this Skyline.

Just so u know, its not considered a skyline anymore. Simply just the GT-R

If that's the case, it gives the Z06 a good run for its money (bang for buck speaking). Can't wait to see these on the streets in Calgary.
