yes I am, unless their version is vastly superior to all the2007 cars with tiptronic that I have experienced. From my experience, Driving in regular drive always shifts better than tiptronic. The european dsg on the other hand, If anyone has experienced those, is a completely different story. Very fast shifts.

So called "dual-clutch automatic" transmissions also eliminate the torque converter and replace hydraulic clutches with synchronizers but they go further to provide gear shift quality which is superior to the automated manual transmission and similar to the conventional automatic transmission, which makes them quite attractive. However, most known dual-clutch automatic transmissions include a lay shaft or countershaft gear arrangement, and have not been widely applied in vehicles because of their complexity, size and cost. For example, a dual clutch lay shaft transmission could require eight sets of gears, two input/shift clutches and seven synchronizers/dog clutches to provide six forward speed ratios and a reverse speed ratio. An example of a dual-clutch automatic transmission is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,385,064, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

And after seeing the navi/main display, it reminds me that SHIT LIKE THAT just shouldnt be in a real sportscar.

A real sportscar needs gauges, real life GAUGES. I am tired of multi-purpose screens. I dont want to look at a screen, I am not sitting at a computer - I am in a car. There's a fucking difference, and the difference should be apparent.

Maybe I just love old cars way too much. The feeling of being inside of a metal chassis with a motor - and thats it. I could give a fuck about power steering, an LCD display. The 240Z had 3 gauges plus the main gauge cluster. It had no PS.

Some will call the features found on newer cars "advancements" - i call them extra weight. Anyway, its obvious that the new R35 is designed for the modern-day executive kid: late 20s but under 50. The person who could buy a G35, but wants something more aggressive..... MINUS the expense of a porsche. I can see the same buyer wanting an Audi R8.

Makes sense....

Wow I have to say these new pictures are starting to make the gtr grow on me, but I still wish they went with the concept front.



These ring times are getting very interesting. Love this shit!

Some lap times from the ring website.

So it looks like(from article) the GTR base will be the same or slightly slower(around the ring) than a Z06 and around the same price.

The evo version will be faster(around the ring) than a 997tt and big money but still much cheaper than a 997tt.

hmm...

Either way, with the numbers 0100 provided from The Ring's website, that puts it up there with some amazing cars. Faster then an SLR McLaren but slower then a Koenigsegg CCR. For $80 I don't think there is anything to argue.

What is so crazy is the track is almost 13 miles long. 3-5 sec difference is like nothing on such a long course. Such a small difference could be track conditions, driver, traffic, etc. Anything within 5 sec of eachother at the ring I would consider competitive.

If the base gtr is really throwing down 38's and priced the same as a z06 I can tell you right now I may be liquidating my autos.

I know I sound like I am doing a complete 180 from when I was bashing the gtr in the other thread. It's just that I have been very skeptical, critical, and depressed when I heard 3800. I have been watching this car since 2002 waiting to buy this beast. Me in 02. LOL > http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=37430

When you wait for something so long and you expect it to be something and then it's not you freak.

I really, really, REALLY hope the 7:38 is real.

I mean they could at least take the dsg out of the newer gti's. If youve ever driven one of those its decent. I doubt that using triptronic or whatever its called will yeild an 11.7. talk about shift lag. I still want a clutch though.
if i'm correct it said the gtr has a dual clutch transmission like the gti, so it should be similar. and not everyone likes manual, last thing i wanna do after a tired night of work is shift gears in traffic. and i gotta agree i love the transmission in the gti.

With that much torque, who's shifting? You can probably start out in 4th with very little problems. Even the review that was posted said the turbo's have much better response then the turbo on the porsche Porsche.

only thing that I've read that I don't like is that the "only transmission avaliable will be an auto"

I know paddle shifting is cool and all, but come one, make it a full manual tans.

if it'll do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds stock, just think about the aftermarket goodies that will make it faster.

It is not really an automatic transmission. It is a dsg style transmission. That is not the same as an regular automatic. Should I repeat this again, just like a few other people have alread stated!?

The reason the manual transmission is not released yet is due to emissions problems. Nissan apparently has one, but will not release it until they can meet standards.

I could care less about that. That would be the last reason I'd buy a car like that. I'm married though, so it might be different for you single guys.

Seriously though, I wouldn't buy any that performs like that because it would get me attention. I wanna drive the piss outta it.

everone hates the tranny setup i guess lol... but i would love it durring DD driving.. or at the drag strip, or on a road race track... sooo much easier

but yeah.. vette people are making fun of it already... for some reason they think the base model is the best(the 480hp) although there is better... comparison

GTR_____Z06(what GM says they run)
11.7_____11.8
3.5______3.8
192______196
57k______65k

we should figure that Nissan is "cutting times" i'm sure someone will run mid 11's factory or better

THANK GOD...

someone mentioned a REAL driver, not some fat fucking british sack of shit. I really think Jeremy Clarkson is a tool, and if he ever stumbles upon this thread - I want him to know Mike of ClearCorners.Com is writing this. His reviews are always over-hyped and glamorized: over-edited with unreal music in the background on some damn airbase. Put down the ink pen & stop writing poetry -- put a real driver behind the car and DRIVE the fucking thing.

All I want to say is that Best Motoring videos are REAL car videos designed for the REAL car enthusiast. Although I really like Tiff Needell and thought the show was much more enjoyable, or atleast tolerable when he was on the show. But, no video comes CLOSE to Best Motoring. Tsuchiya FTW.

That aside, I stumbled across this image again today.. and cant help but say how much it reminds me of the NA2 NSX.




It reminds me of the NSX, but NOT in a good way. I mean the NSX looks like sex, while the GTR does not. You know how some cars look similar, but one just looks more ugly. Here are a few examples which I am sure you are all familiar with:
Nice: NISSAN S13 240SX
Cheap Replica: Ford Probe

Nice: Aston Martin DB
Cheap Replica: Jaguar XK

Nice: NISSAN Z33 350Z
Cheap Replica: Mitsushitty 4g Eclipse

Nice: NISSAN Z32 300ZX
Cheap Replica: Mitsushitty 3000GT <ie: oversized paperweight>

Anyway, we'll see how the final product looks when its on the streets. At this point, NISSAN keeping costs down makes me lose a bit of my interest. I dont care about performance figures as much as I care about quality. If I cared only about numbers, I'de love cars like the EVO or STI. Cars should look sexy as well as perform, and theres a reason why the 360 Modena or Porsche appeal - its because they LOOK like women, they have curves and as men -- you want to fuck them. (in a driving-sort of way, you sick bastards)
