The Raven Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As i said in the top gear thread. Im having flash backs to being a 16 year old and seeing a supra "one day i will have one" moments. Sad thing is by the time i can afford one the petrol will have ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest damelza Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 yes we said that just then ... the Supra is the most beautifully designed car ever. Why wouldn't you let it influence new design? It's so timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Its the fact of the roof line and the way the rear arches bulge out is exactly like the Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keancy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Nice Car, I want one in several years when I can afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Nice car, gutless exhaust note as standard though. I bet it won't be long until all the big aftermarket parts manufacturers are making exhausts for them (even though Nissan claim that the car only likes its factory one) Nissan have set one hell of a benchmark.

Branners Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 dont see it myself. Its still styled like a brick, the interior is pure Datsun and if the gearbox and engine are 'matched' as he said then you are in deep poo if you blow either. Not a car for me. Im waiting for the LFA. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB That's the bit that stuck in my head when he said it only likes the Gearbox designed for the specific Engine. So what happens then when you have a Gearbox failure in several years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Technological marvel it may be, but I've seen it in the flesh 3 times now and still prefer the looks of the Supra. I'd have the 8C over it any day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As i said in the top gear thread. Im having flash backs to being a 16 year old and seeing a supra "one day i will have one" moments. Sad thing is by the time i can afford one the petrol will have ran out. By the time you can afford one it'll be the car du jour of future-chavs who will delight in thinking they can better Nissan's design and technology by hanging acres of plastic off of it, putting bigger wheels on and all sorts of other 'interesting' ideas. It'll also be quicker than whatever are the most up-to-date, powerful cars of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 ive seen the one in the flesh 3 times in black! words cant decribe how gorgeous it looks! nissan place near my works have been booking test drives for the last couple of weeks! went past me on the road sounded superb not loud but defiantly a nice tone! but to be honest i'd only have one in black that red one tonight on TG didnt look nice at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Give me the Alfa any day of the week. The extra £53k would be well spent IMO. If you want a track car, buy something quick on track. If you want a road car, buy something that works well on the road. The GTR for me is something and nothing in equal measures. It indicates a bucketload of compromise with a barrowload of technology but still doesn't manage to be faster than the Corvette. That is a big problem for me because the time will always come where you wish you'd bought something else. Until a tuning company does something formidable with the GTR I'll stick with my old, Japanese fun-mobiles thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 but to be honest i'd only have one in black that red one tonight on TG didnt look nice at all The black seems to hide away the imperfections but then no-one's ever bought a Skyline GTR for its looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 the r34 skyline imo is much nicer looking! the front of it looks so intimidating looks very aggresive ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I love this car, of course I prefer the look of the supra but nissan have out done themselfs considering the very reasonable price tag. IMO I am really looking forward to see how the LFA compares, should be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
