In the video it shows that slalom times and braking performance are also good, so it appears to be a very well rounded machine.

 

that's impressive...

 

It beat a 997 TT on da 'ring by 2 seconds I believe... That's all I needed to know to know it was fast, even if it does 0-60 in 30 seconds... The release of this car is going to be another one of those changes in the trend. Like when the Evo and the STi first released here... Serious changes are gonna be happening in prices/value of cars. So even though I won't be buying one anytime soon, I know that great things are gonna come from that car. Its like there's some big war going on and all the countries are fighting with guns and some have great guns for decent price and some not so much, and some have even greater guns but at a high price... And now Nissan has brought Nuclear Weaponry into the mix, not only that, but it costs about the same as most of the decent quality guns.

Shoot, I can't wait to buy a 15k dollar Evo XII that does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and has a 250k mile warranty and really does last that long... The future is a wonderful thing, progress rules, change is good. Thank you Nissan!

Edit: Actually what I'm really looking forward to is a 70k dollar hybrid R36 GTR that gets an avg of 45 mpg and slightly out performs its R35 brother, all the while running on vegetable oil.

 

Do you actually think that'd ever happen? Please tell me you're kidding.

Inflation alone would guarantee that'd never happen.

 

white or black for me please. exhaust note sounds nice also.

 

there was a picture of a black gtr floating around here....it looks RIDICULOUS.

 

it's bad azz through and through. wish i had the dough.

 

that's now my wallpaper at work.

 

it'll be mine in about 5-6 years...haha

 

WIth the dealer markups they're not going to be the same money as the Z06........

It's sad cause i wanted one. But $85,000 is just too big a nut to crack.

I'll stick with the C6 Z06 for my next car.

 

Did anyone see what the camera car was? A Red Evo X. It is in the pictures on the site...best of both worlds.

 

Don't tell me you missed the sarcasm. He was totally being sarcastic.

 

I have a hard time trusting a site that thinks the Z06 only runs 12's. There have been a couple different Z06's that have run 10's completly in stock form including the tires and it came with from the factory.

 

No I was not being sarcastic, I was serious, inflation ALONE would guarentee that I am 100% incorrect... But, inflation alone would guarentee that the TV I bought for 1200 dollars last year's newer version would cost at least 1201 this year... It costs 1000... GASP, inflation isn't the only economic variable Now yes, I was overstating the possibilities.

But to further my point think back 20 years to the first computer you bought (or 10, or 5 even, if you're too young). Cost what like 2-3k and had 25mb of storage running a processor that ran at 256 meg... Inflation alone says that said computer, and definitely said computer's "upgraded" versions should cost more... Thankfully, inflation again isn't the only factor. Welcome to Macro Econ 101. Inflation, supply and demand, production costs (the big one for cars, computers, tv etc that reduces cost). Those 3 (4) categories are the MAIN influences of cost. The reason the Evo X is going to cost as much as our Evo VIIIs when they came out is mostly due to production costs. The reason the Skyline isn't costing as much as a car with equivalent performance is mainly due to production costs, it costs a lot more to have a Ferrari hand built than a Nissan to get shoved together by machines. And production costs involve so much more than just build process, including the cost of parts and labor and all that's involved with that.

For another example, go see American Gangster. He made tons of money selling a BETTER product because his costs were less to begin with.

Now, on the other hand, you are right in this sense: using my outrageous 15k Evo XII as an example... I meant 15k in current money, ALL money IS going to inflate over time, that is correct. But say 30k in 20 years will be the equivalent of 15k now, that's what I meant, I meant in CURRENT "money value." But, instead of 5.15 being minimum wage, it will be 10.30. Economics are fun! But you can still buy my TV from me for the inflated/used price of 1200, if you want

Edit: Noticed something else I can use as an example: In 5-6 years when you buy one that is 5-6 years old, you can buy it for the same price it cost new, because, you know, of inflation. There is no depreciation! Nor will the value be less if there are hundreds for sale in your area. Because of inflation.

 

Very well said ^
