I think it looks like the Ace and Gary mobile..

But yeah, not interested. No proper B pillar, roof made of glass.... Heavy as fuck and chassis flex like a mother fucker. Sorry, not for me.

LOL ya that's why on Top Gear he professed extreme love for the Ferrari F430 last night. With its paddle shifters and launch control! In fact he said it was one of the nicest cars he had driven. Extreme praise. So I guess he is a hypocrite too.

Like someone else said until you fucks who complain about paddle shifters actually have driven a Supercar equipped with one of these transmissions? You speak out of pure ignorance and should shut the fuck up in the criticism.

Its just like criticizing the President. If you did not vote then you should not open your mouth.

Oh and busteds13 you would shit in your pants driving one of these cars. So shut the fuck up,with your girlie man comments.

Getting tired of you singing the same old song and dance. Especially when you talk out your ass because you really don't now.

speaking of song and dance, did you catch America's Best Dance Crew the other night?

Woah, Woah.

Mess with the tiger and you get teeth.

Mess with the raptor and you get the claws.

Here is something to ponder. Since I would dare to say not even you could "afford" this and still live like you do. Do you have any more say in praising it and it's super awesome gearbox than someone talking it down?

Only people who can't drive worth a shit defend cars like the new GTR.

My question to that is, how can he be talking out of his ass, if he is speaking an opinion? I doubt you have ever driven a car sitting on 30" rims. Yet I bet you would make jokes about it, and say how you don't like it, and defend your stance with how it is stupid and blah blah.

What busted is doing with the GTR is no different. All he is saying is that he wants a traditional manual tranny, not an auto one. Regardless of whether it cvt, what the hell ever the GTR's is, or chinese babies that come out of the glove box and shift it for you.

It is obvious you like the GTR and other cars like it, but damn, flying down someone's throat and insulting them for voiced their opinion is just uncalled for.

Oh and complaining about the president when you didnt vote is much different, seeing as in that situation you could have made a difference, saying what you don't like about a certain car, well that is just a matter of opinion.

Koopa Troopa · 03-04-2009, 09:46 AM

GTR is fucking whack. If I want to take it top speed down I-10, flip off a cop, drop it into second and then drift the fuck out of it. That's my business as I paid $80,000 for the POS. Not Nissan's black box to tell me I can't. Fuck you Nissan.

reaxion · 03-04-2009, 09:49 AM

holy shit that thing is amazing...body is looking insane!

Koopa Troopa · 03-04-2009, 09:59 AM

This car will take the path of the BMW 7 series that had that supercharged V12 in it and sucked monkey balls.

*exitspeed* · 03-04-2009, 10:18 AM

Till you have to turn and the lack of a b pillar and solid roof come into play.

So what you're saying is that because there's no (visible) b-pillar, the car can't turn? Wow, I guess all these companies are selling verts to be parked in the garage for people to show off to their friends? Last time I checked the 350z roadster outhandles plenty of cars that do have roofs. Not to mention other roofless, well handling cars such as the s2000, miata, etc.

That being said, most of us realize that this is a CONCEPT, which IF it makes it to production, would have a roof and b-pillar, because as stupid as they seem sometimes, Nissan wouldn't release a car of this magnitude that wasn't at least driveable.

Oh, btw, if you actually look at the pics, you can see the b-pillar, as well as the roof support.

Gnnr · 03-04-2009, 11:49 AM

Yes, this is a concept. Notice the lack of side mirrors and door handle.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It was too busy looking inside out in a awkward sort of way. Reminded me of the RX-8 in a way. Great analysis.

With the DSG like tranny, you have to figure this was probably built to be a luxury tourer, marketed towards a certain demographic. It's not entirely inappropriate, and it might not be cost effective to give this car a 6-spd manual.

The only transmission I've ever driven with something close to this is the Audi A3's dual clutch DSG, and works surprisingly well. shifts are super smooth, and with the sport mode (higher shift points maybe?), the computer is well enough tuned that even paddle downshifts aren't necessary. I could live with it. While I still prefer a conventional manual today, some of the dual clutch type automatics are a huge leap ahead of auto trannies just a few yrs back.

Says the ass living in Okinawa. Who thinks he is JDM tyte and quite often speaks without true knowledge of people, or checking all his facts.

In other words Koopa, once again you have no idea and once again, you talk like the ass you are.

Yes I insulted your dumb ass and yes I posted it, because yes you made another completely clueless statement.

For supposedly calling yourself a mathlete, you sure didn't crunch your numbers, before making the whack statement you did.

As far as others go, fact is Busteds13 quite often does talk out his ass. Maybe he was speaking his opinion, but when you speak opinion with out knowledge, that's ignorance and talking with ignorance is equal to talking out your ass.

Something, Koopa does all the time.

Now, if you fucks, can get off your, I hate the GTR bullshit. This is about the Essence, not the GTR.

What about the Zonda F roadster?

It is said to have a stiffer chassis than the hard top while also being lighter.

(It lapped TopGear's track faster than the Veyron)

and just like the GTR, that cobalt would murder most cars on this site at the track.

Dude you and Koopa are the shitheads ruining this thread. Not I. You guys made your typical asshat comments and the thread went south! Stop trying to play Mr Honorable when phlip calls you on the carpet.

Oh and by the way, to further clarify your comments Busted. When you speak an opinion, without firsthand knowledge, its ignorance. Ignorance spoken, is talking out ones ass.

You can say, I dislike the idea or the concept. Then, you are speaking correctly and not talking out your ass.

When you say I dislike, hate, etc ....... insert whatever here, without actually having experience its bullshit i.e. talking out your ass.

Especially, when you don't clarify, its the idea or conceot you don't like.

If you do not have actual working first hand knowledge of something, you cannot possibly hate it because you have no experience with it. So if you say you hate it? Well, your talking out your ass. Something, you and koopa do on a regular basis.

This is where both of you, get yourselves into trouble in these debates. Its a matter of simple clarification, which would make your statements more correct.

Oh, and I see you went back and clarified your comment a bit, but at the same time disregarded the differences in transmissions.

I don't like paddle shifters too.

paddle-shifters and dual clutch automatics are totally different things.

think of paddle-shifters as an alternative to the automatic shift knob, as thats all it is.
you can throw paddle shifters on a conventional auto, a tiptronic-like auto, a cvt, and whatever else type of auto tranny there is.
In most (if not all) cases, you don't need to use the paddle-shifters at all.

Dual clutch automatic is an alternative to a conventional manual.
You don't need paddle shifters to operate it, even if the car coincidentally comes with both devices.
On the DSG-equipped A3 I drove, I just used the auto-shifter to up/down shift as needed.
It's almost like driving with one of those Ikeya Formula shifters, but without the clutch.

SochBAT · 03-04-2009, 12:35 PM

I don't like the body styling, even if it is a concept.

It reminds me of Megatron from the TF movie.
