Nissan GT-R Spec-V release confirmed, possible unveiling at NISMO festival (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/11/nissan-gt-r-spec-v-release-confirmed-possible-unveiling-at-nism/)

Reports about the release and pricing of the Nissan GT-R Spec-V (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/NissanGTRSpecV/) have been circulating for months and Nissan HQ has supposedly confirmed the rumors and targeted an on-sale date in Japan in late January or early February.

The GT-R Spec-V is expected to be packing another 100 hp through the use of a new exhaust, more boost and a retuned ECU. Carbon fiber will replace some of the body panels to reduce weight, while new wheels, upgraded brakes and suspension tweaks will round out the mods.

Rumors suggest that Nissan could release the Spec-V at the 12th annual NISMO Festival at Fuji Speedway in Japan later this month. Pricing could be up to 15,000,000 yen – 2,000,000 more than earlier predictions – or around $154,000, more than double the cost of a standard GT-R. If the Spec-V goes on sale in the U.S., expect pricing to be considerably lower.

Sweet. Here come 5 minute laps around the ring.

5 minute laps? who cares about price. WHOOOOAAAA!!!!!

i wonder how it'll compare to the zr1. especially with the increased power and reduced weight.

I don't think it'll topple the ZR1 on the Ring; but, we shall see I'm sure. Certainly not in a straight line though.

[gismo4]

we shall see in that respect too. specs are too vague to make any assumptions at this point.

[NOPISTN]

100 more gear tearing HP.... that sounds usefull.

[dantheman]

bwhahahah 154k dollars for a nissan.

105 for a chevy is a stretch, but after hearing how enjoyable it is from clarkson id believe its worth it.

i don't see how you can say that, the base model GTR had roughly 100hp less and that was only about 2 seconds slower than the ZR1 on the ring. V-spec is going to have 100hp more.....seems like it is going to destroy the ZR1's time. We'll just have to wait for it come out.

[eN_2_Oh]

its about time, now they need to release the official spec chart, and then make it to the 'ring and see what happens there!

[LabtopThief_jr.]

once it's out THEN you can compare the GTR to the ZR1.

Are you dumb? The ZR1 posted a lap time of 7:22. The GTR posted a (possibly cheated (http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=494783)) time of 7:29. If you can do math, that is 7 seconds slower then the ZR1.

7 seconds sounds too easy fro 100hp. ZR1 nut riders' palms are starting to sweat. lol. "oh look at the price!!!" i went to the dealership across the street from work, ZR1 is $150k. oh, and nissan doesnt come with acdelco spark plugs.. :p

someone do the math real quick, compare the GTR and ZR1's hp and determine how much slower the GTR should be with what power it has.

Sweat? I didn't even blink.

And while the Nissan may not have ACDelco spark plugs, it also doesn't have 648hp. Or 600ft-lbs of torque. Or a 7:22 lap time. Or 1.10 Gs of lateral grip. Or a 132mph trap speed in the 1/4 mile. Or a transmission that won't explode. Or a mod friendly motor. Or a full power-train warranty for 100,000 miles that won't be voided if the beat the hell out of the car, or turn the traction control off. Or a transmission that cost less then $20,000. Etc.

As for the ZR1's markup, you can expect the same for the new Spec-V... So, how about a $200,000 Nissan?

once again, it seems your missing their main point. ok sure, the ZR1 has gobs of power which induce the other relative results.

but for a fat car with 158hp LESS, it performs damn well. well enough to have every other auto maker in this game shittin bricks and pigeons wondering what to do next. we already seen what a few tuning companys have done with the GTR in terms of power, so to say its not mod-friendly is invalid.

for a brand new car with BRAND NEW technology, problems are bound to arise. its just how things that haven't been done before go.

GM probably wont hold up a warranty either if they found out that said car in question was beat to all hell repeatedly, i mean because then they'd basically be giving out free ZR1 parts to the masses that own one.

but all in all, giving the advantages and disadvantages of either car; and the GTR being handicapped from the start, you cannot deny it the credit it deserves for performing how it does, its an amazing car for what it is. 7 seconds is alot in racing, sure, but when you factor in the handicaps of the GTR, its 7:29 time is still blazing fast.

Nissan won't warranty the car if you turn off the traction control. Chevrolet WILL warranty their car if you turn off the traction control. True story. And Chevrolet will cover some idiots mistake if they blow up the tranny because it doesn't cost $20k like the Nissan's. Nissan will try to find any excuse not to warranty their $20k tranny because not even they want to pay for it.

How is the GTR handicapped? WTF are you talking about? Because it's fat and heavy? That's the way it was built, that's not a handicap. If I built a water bucket with a hole in it, am I going to say that my bucket has a handicap? No, i'm going to say that i'm a fucking idiot for putting a hole in my water bucket.

As for the GTR being fast; never I have I ever said that the GTR wasn't fast. It's very fast and performs very well. Just not as well as a ZR1 obviously.

[seinkonnen]

....

You answered your own question retard. The video had no factual evidence of the things being disputed: Extra power from higher boost and weight reduction/suspension changes. So, like I said, the video proves nothing.

What Nissan has to do is have their GTR inspected by a third party and have it's time verified by a third party. Otherwise, there will always be questions.

the zr1 ran higher boost too, and drag slicks, and different exhaust, and the timer was faulty, and the driver was on meth. oh fuuuuuuuuuck. theres so much proof on every car that has ever run the ring. nissan done fucked up.

give it time, and the tranny issues will be ironed out.

of course they dont want to pay for it, would you want to pay if you told someone NOT to drive your car too hard and they did regardless of your warning then they ended up breaking it? obviously nissan new before hand of the problem(s) with the new tranny setup and how vulnerable it became once the TCS was off, therefore they sent out a fair warning.

the ZR1 is a simple car. i'll give it that. its got less chance of things breaking due to internal error, but it doesnt exclude it from what may happen once people start tearing into it and breaking stuff. only time will tell with GM's warranty discrepancy

yeah, it is a handicap. it sets it at a disadvantage from the others. we all know things would be way different if they shared the same weight class.

As for the GTR being fast; never I have I ever said that the GTR wasn't fast. It's very fast and performs very well. Just not as well as a ZR1 obviously.

true, the tests have shown that. so what further drives you to put it down in every new release that comes out about it

[meangreen94z]

Uhh alot of that "weight handicap" is due to it being awd. Does the ZR1 get a handicap for being rwd?using a manual trans?etc. Like he said, that was how the car was built, no excuses.

[john06w]

LOL! at handicap.

we should handicap my civic. mainly because its front wheel drive, 4 cylinders, and has no forced induction.

[eN_2_Oh]

Uhh alot of that "weight handicap" is due to it being awd. Does the ZR1 get a handicap for being rwd?using a manual trans?etc. Like he said, that was how the car was built, no excuses.

exactly. the car was built fat. therefore a factory induced handicap of more weight, and it still performed as well as it does. and in the racing world weight is the enemy, yet nissan chose to go with it anyway; thinking they had a remedy to move around that factor. im not trying to force out some sort of wishful thinking or for people to feel sorry for it. i just simply stated that if it didnt weigh what it does, it'd perform twice as good as it does now.

look at the potential of the GTR in a whole. its got less power, more weight, and less aerodynamics yet its still right behind the ZR1.

No, it wouldn't. To make it weigh less would require you to take out what makes it great, the AWD system and all its on board computer systems, and probably replace it's HUGEeeeeeeeeeeeee tranny with something much lighter. There is no mysterious 800lbs to lose on the GTR in it's interior or anywhere else; you'd HAVE to take out the AWD system and lots of other stuff. Once that happened, the car would suck.

look at the potential of the GTR in a whole. its got less power, more weight, and less aerodynamics yet its still right behind the ZR1.

The GTR is more aerodynamic then the ZR1, but thanks for trying. It's also not right behind the ZR1. It's about 10 bus lengths behind.

..... bugatti veyron ftw!!! :rock:

gtr > zr1

Well, Nissan's technology sure didn't keep it from getting butt raped by the ZR1. Maybe the Spec-V will come with a "anti-butt rape" technology that punctures the ZR1's tires and keeps the two from ever having to compete.

need to ditch the cobalt steering wheel, though. i guess aesthetics such as that contribute to keeping it from being a $150k vehicle.

That's how I feel about it too. The appeal of the GTR for me was getting "supercar" performance at a fraction of the price. It seems that isn't the case anymore. Also another thing that might have appealed is the parts are cheaper for the GTR.

I think the Spec-V is going to price its self out of its niche.

Volkswagen owns Bugatti, and I'd sure as hell buy a Bugatti, and conversely, I sure as hell would NOT buy a Volkswagen. And more relevant: when Mercedes bought into Chrysler, I still kept buying Mercedes, but I never once considered owning a Chrysler (even when they were being made with Mercedes parts). So no, if Ferrari owned Nissan, I would not pay $150k for one of their cars.

Stop being an idiot. We all know that's not what I said.

There are hundreds of other cars to compare these cars to, but people always resort to their Civics. It's not because they don't own a supercar, it's because they don't know much outside of their Civic and what they read on the internet. :adriormand:

So when they read "638hp", they think "oh, so that's like 6 of my D13s strapped together." Or when they read $100,000, they think "I could buy 100 Civics for that price." :hsrun:

Honestly, I'm not sure what sort of sense was made, or not made, with that last comment. Aston Martin uses Ford parts and motors. Jaguar uses Ford parts and motors. A Colbalt supposedly uses a steering wheel from a Corvette, or vice versa. Is there anymore to your point here? Lamborghini uses numerous items found on regular Audis. I think one of the only companies that doesn't cross-share crap is Ferrari. Even the Bugatti Veyron probably has a common VW made item on it somewhere.

Yeah that exhaustively long and drawn out "mini paragraph" was very taxing on my physical person. I might need to go take a nap after that one. My whole day is ruined. :gonk:

sweet. :)

guess they'll be cheating there, too. :hsugh:

look, here's the deal:

"normal" GTR's that we can buy at a stealership don't run 7:29 around the 'ring.

the GTR is a very badass car even if it doesn't run 9:29 and even if you have to buy your own transmission after being an idiot and blowing it up. People will buy the car for what it is and enjoy the heck out of it.

the V-Spec will be outrageously priced and have a lot of cool stuff on it. it is not the best bang for the buck for a performance car. it is, however, the ultimate nissan for those guys who just love nissan and are nissan fanatics.

it's quite obvious that many people have a history with nissan and have had loads of Z cars, 240sx's, etc... and some of these guys are now what we would like to call "rich" and would be able to buy a V-Spec without thinking twice. If they want to buy it, then so be it. It is what it is.

IMO sometimes we spend a lot more money on our cars than what is logical. I mean really, what dumbass spends 10-20k on a civic that cost them 500 as a running car at first? we do it not because it is logical but because it means something to us. some things are worth buying no matter what the cost. the same thing goes for nissan guys.
