2013 GTR GT3, Yes Please.

[Vatche]

Someone buy me this.

GTR (http://www.sidewaysat11.com/news-2013-nissan-gt-r-nismo-gt3-details-and-price/)

That is all.

[scottie]

I watched that video yesterday. I just love the sound of the transmission and the shifter plowing through the gears. A BEAST for sure.

[KOUKIboy]

Fuck that's BOSS!!!!! I want one!!!!

[Bmxer300zx]

For that price tag i'd buy a LFA or something i can drive on the road.
Not saying i don't like a GTR i'd rather buy a used 2010 model for 60-70k and drop 100k and have equal to more power
then again i don't have 60k regardless so i'll stick to my broke ass bucket lol

Yeah, because most people who buy factory built race cars are solely concerned with power output. :cj:

[Bmxer300zx]

My point was more or less spending a half million on a track only car. Personally i'd want something to be able to drive whenever i wanted on/off track. Then again if i had the money for that i probably wouldn't care that i could only drive it once in a while.
The cars dope don't get me wrong if i had enough money to buy a half million track only car maybe i could see it but personally i'd wana drive it on the street lol.
and thanks i know it takes more than Hp to make a good track car

[SaNTi]

Damn. That thing's awesome.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Get a VIN plate of a wrecked GTR and instant street legal car!!!

But seriously, air jacks built into the fucking thing?!?!

[AKsamuraiS14]

soooo sick. id take this over LFA any day.

[drscooper]

exactly what i was thinking! kinda weird in my opinion and if its a "race car" maybe thats weight that shouldn't be there. hell i dont know lol i cant afford that

[adrians_s13]

damn, for that price tag, I'd expect a v8 power plant like the sumopower guys did

[wangan_cruiser]

Dont get me wrong Id rather buy a house for that money. Then buy an r32 or r34 and turn it into a track car.

[flatout]

If you can buy that. Youre not concerned about having a street legal car. You'd probably have a lambo in you're garage as well for your street car. That said. I want one

[drscooper]

yeah but i still think for that price tag you can get some thing better. but thats just my opinion.

[Wabash9000]

The owner of my company has one, so I have to walk by it all the time. I need to get him to take me for a ride in it. I know he got a ticket for 154mph last year.

[iRONDONkey]

i'll own a GTR one day...

after i make 10x what it's worth.

so... to be blowing 80k on a car... i'll have to net 800k a year. and some change so i can dump mods into it, hehe.

[flatout]

I agree for 450k or whatever its priced at there's other cars that I would spend my money on if I could just choose one to have. But I'm sure the people that buy these won't be worried about just choosing one car to buy majority of these will probably be bought by racing teams anyways.

[iRONDONkey]

450k will get you an Adventador.

you could probably build a GT3 car for very cheap. usually at that status, you'll have all the connections you need. lol

If you have enough to buy, maintain, and drive the damn thing you have enough money to pay for a good lawyer to get you out of trouble should you get pulled over driving it on the street.

dude you don't quite understand it still. You are basing it off your lower class life style. If you had that kind of money to spend on a track only car you wouldn't give a fuck about road cars because you would have plenty of other cars for that purpose. Maybe a regular gtr built to your personal taste. This is not just something to "have" lol.

[Vatche]

i didnt ask your opinions about if you would buy it for yourselves.

I said someone buy it for me!

haha. you guys cant think seriously about buying this car on our budgets. you have to be a big enough nissan fan also. you have to want this car. to spend that much.

I remember at the track the owner of Stop Tech was in the pit right next to us and was telling us about the new 2012 GT3 Cup Car they bought and how amazing it was stock. vs the 2010 they had already invested lots of money into. It had air jacks built in too, i thought that would be standard with any race car?

Anyway this car screams hours of time I spent playing gran turismo and it reminds me of why i like cars.

[illvialuver]

yeah dont worry, I ll buy you one.

[killer240]

what what 450K.. I could have so much guns with that money

[e5s4y]

im gonna add air jacks to my piece of shit 240, i hate manually jacking it up, haha

[matthewAPM]

You guys are all idiots. The car is built to be a turnkey FIA GT3 racecar. Most of you would wreck this car before you got through T1.

Yes, it has airjack's because all modern GT race cars run air...

Personally, I see this not being a very successful business idea for the Nissan/Nismo motorsports program. Personally, I would much rather buy a GT3 RSR, as you have Porsche North America who treats each and every customer like gold. (unless you owe them money)

[racepar1]

WTF is all this talk about what other cars YOU would rather buy for the money. You're all too broke/stupid to afford/build a track car anyways. That car is like a fine wine. It takes a certain kind of person to TRULY appreciate it. You guys should just stick with the Pabst Blue Ribbon and STFU.


To the OP: Thanks for posting this, I just nutted myself. SOOOOOO relaxed now! LOL!

:wackit:

:bowdown: Thank you for this comment. Many of these so called drift kids have no understanding of what is involved in making a proper racing car. The hours spent in development of suspension pick-up points is greater than most have spent building their entire car.

The GTR GT3 isn't a car you just go outside, fire up and drive around. It involves having a tune made each and every time it is run, suspension tuning every time it is run, gets torn down after every event and the cost to keep up with it is more then your mommy and daddy's house...

This is so far from a car that can be driven on the street it isn't even funny.

silly children...

[scottie]

LOL this is Zilvia guys. Whenever someone posts a beautiful exotic car or race car in this example, others always bring up money and how they could buy 50 240sx's :fruit:


Bottom line, the GTR GT3 is a badass piece of machinery. I would kill to drive 10 laps in one. The sensation, the sound, the way the brakes never fade, it just cannot be reproduced by a factory equivalent. And as for the DICK measuring contest over price tags...... the guy who can afford to pay $500K on a non street legal race car simply to park it in his garage for his enjoyment has a much bigger one than the guy buying one he can get some use out of.

Case in point a otolaryngologist (neck surgeon) friend has a real LeMans GT40 Ford sitting in one of his garages. Street Legal? Hell no. Net Value? Over $1M. Why not buy several cars? Because he has passion for racing and history. I would take it over a Bugatti any day.

10 laps would be overkill for me. I'd be satisfied with driving it around the first turn. :wackit:

[killer240]

Who cares if what we would rather buy if we have the money. Does it really hurt your ears?
But if we really have the money, of course we would buy one. Sorry that we're broke ass fools who can't afford cars like that.


On the real though, that video is sick; dope car. I want to go take my brother in-laws supra again after watching that video.

[Bambi]

Would bang, 11/10.

[Vatche]

everyone can dream right? :D

you guys taking it a lil to seriously i guess . haha. but i agree with what your saying. i would love to own one of these, a few other cars and a race track. and call it retirement. after i win the lotto. hopefully sooner than later. cuz i think ill have slower reaction times when im too old and it wont be as fun haha!

[racepar1]

Did anyone else see the "feartured video" off to the side about the Le Mans Porsche? FUCK the GTR I want the 956!!!


EDIT: Brain fart, it's a 962 Porsche...

[word sux]

the customers for these cars are mostly going to be race teams looking to campaign these cars

[Vatche]

Hell yes sir. I agree with you.

Sidewaysat11 is a cool site.

[humilde_s13]

Paying almost half a mil for almost 80hp more than last gtr. Don't seem right to me, i was expecting a 800+hp monster. IMO

[DS562]

i'd invest in this if i had it lol AND daily an R33 because i could. just give me a few years.

What don't you understand about "GT3 racecar"? The power output is LIMITED due to the FIA GT3 rules. People seem to think that this is some kind of a toy for rich people. It's NOT a toy. This is a factory racecar for people looking to compete in the FIA GT3 class. This is a TOOL developed by Nissan to win in international competition.

[Purestock240]

they are RACECARS, as in like races ya know? not hooptie drift cars with open rules.
I know people who spend 100k+ on oval track late models.

they aren't paying for the car itself, but all of the R&D that goes into making it the fastest it can possibly be within a VERY specific set of rules.

Socialist GT3 racing isn't what we'd call real racing.

[racepar1]

Socialist GT3 racing isn't what we'd call real racing.

Dude, WHAT? What exactly is REAL racing? I'll hold of on the shit talking untill you clarify your off-the-wall statement. Realistically it doesn't even make sense...

[Wookie384]

Please explain how you relate socialism to racing.

The OP fucked up by posting this in the general off topic forum and not in the Premium members section! lol

... I can't wait to see the replies now! lol

[!Zar!]

$500,000 Nissan.

lol

[drift freaq]

$500,000 Nissan race car
wow
fixed that for you.

Obviously because the power output has been spec'd to a certain number he feels its somehow political and socialistic.

I guess with that kind of assumption all spec racing would be socialist which would have to include GP2 (feeder series for F1) Formula Ford, Formula Atlantic, Indy Car etc... the list would go on for days.

I mean people have always commented on decisions in motorsports being political but to just randomly call a series socialist is quite a leap.

[TheWolf]

drift_freaq is right.

[drift freaq]

GT3 is an amateur race series where people buy preassembled "GT3 Certified" race cars and take them out racing. It's designed to provide an even amount of media coverage for all drivers giving everyone a "chance" to win.

They individually balance the field by weight penalties. The better you do, the larger the weight penalty you take on for the next race until you finish like 4th or lower. Check out the rules. Basically if you win, they slow your car down until you can't win. The idea is so that everyone gets a turn at air time and the front of the field instead of one guy out spending the others.

Then there's what they call "performance balancing". Which allows them to adjust the output of specific cars to maintain the "competitive spirit" of the field. This allows them to take a audi r8, a lambo lp600, mercedes SLS amg, along with a ferrari 458 and all make them lap relatively close to each other. So if a Ferrari wins the first two races, especially in a dominating fashion, then they will turn down the output of the engines. If GT-R's are back markers, then they'll turn them up until they do well.

The car can not be modified from nissan gt3 trim and engines must come from nissan and ECU tune is supplied by the series. You buy that "kit" from nissan, and you can play in their series which is limited to amateurs who pay their entry fees. The cars are pretty close to street. They come with heat/AC, defrosters, power steering, etc.


I.E. Spec racing. Oh and it is real racing. Just because there are planned out specs does not mean its not real racing. Just because amateurs can compete does not mean its not real racing. In fact all of what you wrote above does not make it non real racing.

This does not pertain to it being Socialist. Seriously dude your comment was over reaching, give it up.

You made a wild statement. Based off your own political beliefs.

[Vatche]

i didnt fuck up anything. whatcya talkin bout wookie.

:D im enjoying the banter.

it makes it more fun. there will always be haters. and everyone interprets things differently.

I posted it because i liked it and figured others would too.

I dont post in premium members section because there is no difference between premies and general pop anymore. The only difference is $10.

In the beginning premies were special and deserving.

I know who the true "premium members" are. They are still part of the general pop :D

[racepar1]

drift_freaq is right.

EDIT: Dave already handled it...



It is IMPOSSIBLE to relate racing to socialism. The guy with the most money almost always wins, regardless of the rulebook. That's PURELY capitalist, which is the OPPOSITE of socialist. Also, racing is ALWAYS REAL. At ANY level, professional or amateur. Only someone with little understanding and no experience could call racing not REAL in any form.
