Swampy442 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Looks so much better in silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 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 IIRC there will about a BIG difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I can kind of see why people don't like the look of the GTR, if you look at the lines of the headlight on the wing it looks a bit wrong.. Personally I love it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 i like it more after seeing it on film, thought it was ugly from pics. Still want the 8C over it everyday of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Restorer Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I don't like the 8C. I think Top Gear over rate Alfa's way too much. The new GTR is a very capabe car but I'm going to reserve judgement on it till I've seen it in the flesh. The 2 girls in the interview were lovely though...

adnanshah247 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 sorry about my mis-knowledge but wasnt toyota going to bring out a new supra??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Will be interesting where it comes on the power laps board when they do the UK test/track. Sweepstake anyone? I'll plump for 1:22.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I don't like the 8C. I think Top Gear over rate Alfa's way too much. i very much agree after working for alfa as a tech i have nothing good to say about them! fiat in a shell suit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I quite like the look of the new GTR. I missed TG tonight though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 sorry about my mis-knowledge but wasnt toyota going to bring out a new supra??? not at the moment! end of this year and next year every car they have through there range are going to be hybrid with a new car coming out that is smaller than a smart car! they keep hinting at a new supra but it will be hybrid ! probably will have the same engine in as the IS-F!

steb9780 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think they are quite nice, but I still prefer the look of the R34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Sweepstake anyone? I'll plump for 1:22.0. I'll pump for 1.23 max, lowest being 1.24, theres no way it will do 1.22 imho, with being about 400kg heavier than the Porshe GT3 RS and not that much power once transfered to the wheels I just can't see it Are they bringing out a V-spec? I'm sure I once read it was around 400kg lighter then the current model with about the same power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraGZaerotop Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 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. yeah and whats this all about, it will only like its own gearbox, so what happens if it breaks then!

I'm basing my guess on an Evo test where around the West Circuit at Bedford the following times were recorded- Carrera GT = 1:23.3 997 GT2 = 1:23.5 GTR = 1:23.6 Actually I'm gonna reduce my guess to 1:21.3!

Gaz Walker Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Can't wait for the track test later on in this series I think they are creating suspense for the result because its going to blow a lot of supercars away. I'll be shocked if it runs more than a 1.21... I think about 1m 20.5s It'll be quicker than the Z06 Gaz Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It'll be quicker than the Z06 Gaz Quicker than this one? http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=18361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Quicker than this one? http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=18361 I said Z06 not ZR1 However, if I can pit a tweaked Skyline against the ZR1, then your on Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yeah, and what's this all about, it will only like its own gearbox, so what happens if it breaks then?Likely to be the programming of the gearbox ECU rather than the gearbox itself, I'd have thought.

hoff Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 The gearbox of the GTR, will only work for on each individual car. That'll get expnsive when that packs in wont it? No giving someone like Jezz a call for that:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
