It would be unfortunate if it went the same way as the GT500. so if the general perception is that you will be able to get this car at an affordable price thats competitive to the porshe, well that is not determined yet... you might be paying more then the cost of a porshe turbo.

So every car has mark up except for the one that benefits your argument.


Whatever. The GTR will have mark up. Then it will fade away liek everything else,and it will still compete at the level it should.

GTR>Zo6 IMO.

HAve you ever been to a track? or at least run Do you really think you can run 10.06 with 443WHP and a 3,500 pound curb weight You my friend are the biggest fanboy ever!

News flash you can't run 10.06 with 443WHP on a 3,700 pound car including driver. If a Buggatti Veyron that has 1001BHP (the true fastest production 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile, mile or whatever car) can't do it (and it only weights 900 pounds more). A nismo Z tune will never do it, simple physics. Not enough HP for that weight. That was just a misprint done on purpose to riled up the clueless fanboy's like yourself.

Afterall they don't have to prove anything, only 20 where built. I have seen dynos (that's where I get the 443WHP) and videos Z tune loosing to Z06, Spec C and moving just like a 443WHP with 3,500 lb should move a mid to high 11's car, that's all.

I have 483WHP in a 3200 poud car including myself and could barely run low 11's at 125 and you tell me a car 500 pound heavier inluding the driver with 40WHP less is going to run a full second quicker lol Get a clue fanboy!

This is all I got from you "blah, blah, blah... blah, blah, blah... and some MORE blah, blah, blah.

You said the 10.06 was a misprint and that it's not the fastest 1/4th mile production car, I ask you for proof (link) of somebody (Nissan or any high official rank at Nismo) mentiong it was false. I can careless what numbers you crank out with a college calculator, added, subtract, multiple, added 3.14 pie, divided by 2 and carry the 1 over. So in the end, your rant was mute. If you don't have valid proof of your claims on the Z-Tune GT-R than you need to stop... . As you can easily right off the link I gave you for the rumor 7:15 time range, I can easily right off your mathematic equation you just type out for me.

P.S. How dare you call me a dumbass, but NOT once, but TWICE you clearly overlook my comment on the Z-Tune and mention it being the fastest production car EVER. Such a foolish statement. Once again, your presence in this thread and constant solecism is annoying me.

Again, I advise you to pick up a pair of reading glasses. It may help that stigmatism called "I cannot seem to understand a basic statement in this thread, so I overlook the other member comments and add my own so I can look like THE real dumbass".

Please explain this...

Why your almost 9's car don't blow the doors off the rest of the cars here? It can barely keep up with a badly driven Z06. Even at the start, if the Z tune is such a monster... and it runs 10's flat why it doesn't pass the vette? Why when they finally push the vette a little on the last lap... the Z tune get dusted by the Z06 and almost get pass by the Murcielago too?

You know why? Simple physics, a 505HP 3130lb car > 500HP 3,500lb car. Don't live a ricer wet dream. That car doesn't run 10 flat its barely a mid to high 11's car.

About the 7:15 that's just like the Z tune... hype. In order to run that time the new GTR Evo need to weight about 2,800 pounds and have well over 650HP. If you really can see this you are a DUMBASS. [/END]

Here is the latest batch of pics from the Nurburgring. Apparently there were 4 of them there testing.

Um what? I asked if you drove one. If the answer is no, I think you should settle down on the "NSX is over-priced" complaints.

If the prices stated are correct, the production life of the car will not be long in the US. Porsche's can sell for that price because they are Porsches but a Nissan at 94K will not last more than a couple of years. The Z06 is still a better buy.

Keep eluding the fact that you made a roundabout statement on the Z-Tune R34 GT-R and when ask for valid proof of info you can not give me a damn straight (link) answer.

If I told somebody that [insert car here] could not run [insert time here] and they ask for a link, im not gonna sit here an add, subtract weight, multiply and divide horsepower, throw in torque figures and than hit the equal sign. Im going to do my research and provide you with a link. I told you that I "read" the new GT-R is clocking in the 7:15 range, you called me BS and wanted a link, so I gave you one. See how easy that was, no why can't you do the same?

Here is the thing, I know about 'power to weight ratio', so all this math your doing I clearly understand, math is my favorite subject (hints my screen name), but now that you made such an obsolete statement on the Z-Tune R34 GT-R, im not going to give you a free pass based on numbers, I want the proof (link) to this misprint, it does exist right? Such a highly value car as the Z-Tune R34 GT-R, has thousands bits of info on the web, shouldn't be hard to find a statement that coincides with your comment? Now, find me a link!

What's your point? If you think the NSX is worth all 90k, than fine... tote your horn, im not knocking your opinion, but when I feel it's not, you want to knock mine? Get out of here man. Simiarly compared cars Ive driven, like Evo VIIIs, IXs (stock and modded), Supras (stock and modded), FDRX7 (stock and modded), STi's and WRX's (stock and moded), LS1 Vette's (stock), LS6 Z06 (stock), Turbo 350z and G35, Legacy (modded) just to name a few, all of which are much cheaper than the 90k NSX and are you gonna tell me that the NSX is more car, more value and better all around for the price? That im going to exit the test drive with the feeling I should sign my check book (and life) over for it?

Ill take you up on that offer, This car better be WORTH all 90k Honda asking for, and they better throw in a damn cd player!

That's the thing their is no link. There are only 20 Z tunes (that car is even more rare than a Enzo). The only thing we have are the specs. You can see a dyno if you search "you tube" and the BM videos. With that data you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that this car is not a 10's flat car by a long shot. And if you're so good with math you will understand this. It weights too much and lacks the power to be able to do that. Don't believe everything you read.

Actually. Brand new Zo6's have run 10's bone stock with just drag radials. Its not outside the realm of possibility that the Z-tune ran 10s as well. I dont think it will run a 10.01 but I defenitly think 10.90's are possible.

Uh.... you seem to have left out the fact that a STI beat them all.

You don't seem to know jack about racing. Passing is very difficult given somewhat nearly matched cars on a tight course.

And if you bothered to look at the 'time attack' times, the Z-tune ran a 1:05.10 vs. the Z06 1:06.02. The Lambo ran a 1:04.76 and the STI ran a 1:07.00 by the way.

Using your logic, you'd think that the Z06 with 200hp more, 200 lbs less than the STI would have beat it during the race. Simple physics right?
