COOOOOL

They were also a bit vague about power increases.
Only thing mentioned is that it 'begins with a 5'.
Also sheds a teeny amount of weight.

The revision to the brakes, aerodynamics, and suspension seem well thought out.
We'll just have to wait & see how the road tests/ring lap times differ.

There might be price increase by a few grand, but nothing outrageous.
Hopefully it'll still be under 90k
Would be great if they could release a cheaper model with a conventional manual tranny.

Here's a link to NAGTROC breakdown of the upgrades w/ pics

Looks promising so far.
Don't care for the visuals, wheels aside.
but then again you don't buy a gtr for trivial shit like that.

down for the rwd bussines
