The 2011 Nissan GT-R receives a number of improvements including a slightly revised suspension and more standard features. Unfortunately, the base trim was dropped and possibly only 315 are bound for the U.S., all $84,060 GT-R Premiums. MoreÂ*»

no, it's just regular GTR with some added luxo amenities that are irrelevant to it's performance.
Having one trim makes sense.
Producing 315 units though?!

Wonder if Nissan had trouble selling the 1,500 allocated to the US market in 09?

They aren't having a problem here in vegas from what I know of. I see a new GT-R in the showroom of a couple nissan dealerships I visit regularly. More than likely they are trying to make it less of a common vehicle. Or they are building up anticipation for the V-Spec model.

Theres a GTR at a dealership near me that has not only been there for 6+ months, but is now no longer in the showroom. Yes, thats right.. it gets rained (and snowed) on.

Yeah I see GT-R's at most all of the Nissan Dealerships. Kind of makes me mad cause I had some dude who barely looked 18 in a GT-R right next to me at the stop light. Freakin' kids and their parents money.

RUTH'LESSDET

same here i see at least three gtr's near me but they are just not affordable for the average person...plus for some reason NY dealers always marker everything up

there are 2 kids at my school with gtr's. both automatic, and one has since been wrapped around a tree (no joke). The kid is 18, and has a r34 gtr in the bahama's which he paid a shop 10k to mod it, all his parents money. he infact, riced it out and tinted the front window! yep...

also, an AMS evo x at my school, bought not built because it just showed up one day. really ugly lol. another kid has a supra mxv that is automatic, built up i guess

fucking n00bs and their automatics. these kids ebrake pull as well, rather than clutch kick... FUCKING NOOBS

excruse me sir, but your a rir bit rong! i just feel that ebrake pulls is definitely not the way to approach drifting. yeah its quick and effective, but honestly if your going to start then at least try doing it right. i suck at drifting, i can barely get my car going sideways and thats because i suck at clutch kicking. but i never pull my ebrake cause its like cheating in a sense. this is all my opinion, don't get offended.


question: how tight should your ebrake be TO lock up the rears? i HAVE tried ebrake pulls 2 times, nothing happened. the car just slowed down a little but it didnt slide out or skid, they just spun like if i was applying light brake pressure... so how tight should it be?

Brother and I went into our local Nissan dealership a while back and they were asking for $125k. We told them, for that much, we're looking at a used Ferrari or Lamborghini that will still fetch us more pootang and stares than the GTR.

sometimes i think there should be regulation of what teenage drivers should be allowed to drive for safety reasons, i mean seriously who wants an 18 yr old brat driving around a 400+ hp car with no experience behind the wheel? not only is it not safe it can get people killed which it has in the past.

Economics class was mandatory to graduate high school in Georgia when I was in school. My econ teacher was a joke though...

I agree, but then you'd have people crying "discrimination!" We unfortunately have to cater to the stupid due to "freedom and equality for all."

Using the e-brake is not wrong or cheating. Even pros use their e-brake. Some use it to initiate, some use to maintain angle, scrub speed, etc.

And when you tried pulling your e-brake, you pushed the clutch in, right? You're not gonna lock up the rear wheels if you're still in gear..

shinobis13hb

i know 2 people with in my area kinda an asain kid that lives in pasadena(white GT-R).. i think he goes to PCC or something of the sort and a middle age man with one(silver).

Hillkill

If it was south coast mitsubishi, they werent traded in for evos. The owner just bought them used as stock

godrifttoday

I bet none of u... And I mean no one... Would ever complain or bitch about driving a new skyline at the age of 18 at the expense of your parents money..... I only come to one conclusion .... Hate .... Hate... Hate.... I could allready see it " no daddy no, 500hp skyline is to much for me at such a young age, please daddy buy me something with less power" haha yeah right! Haters... It's the thruth que no?

jodett

obviously It's not the kids fault for having rich parents that love to spoil him. It's the parents fault for throwing their little precious child in a car that they should know is not suitable for a young inexperienced driver. It's risking your kids, and others lives, just to buy your childs love. Seems irresponsible to me.

project06tj

i'm sure joey logano's parents feel the same way.

mrflip69

Does the white GTR have a "Mines" decal on it?

LOL @ the GTRs getting traded for Evos. Maybe that togue vid where the GTR eats it after chasing an Evo has something to do with that?

You wouldn't think twice about changing shoes with an 18yr old with a GTR.

it's ok dealer-ship.
they will rip you for trade-ins.
their service dept is mediocre at best.

however, if you want to buy/lease a new evo they do have a great selection & sell at invoice.
I got my evo there & overall it was a good purchase experience.

seanforney

Go to youtube and watch the 50 minute or so special on this. They actully loose money producing these, that is more than likely why there are such a limited amount coming to the US. Makes sense to me, why make more of something that you are loosing money on!

ronmcdon

because it's meant to be halo car of sorts.
serves as a publicity stunt to bring ppl to their dealerships & showcase their technology.
perhaps also serves as a platform for motorsports.

not every product is meant for profit.
what matters is the overall company is profitable.

dato

???? Not every product is meant for profit????? The whole point is to make a profit.... I understand what u are trying to say but u have it twisted.... it comes down to cost to manufacture.. And the price for materials and labor and fix cost and blah blah blah... Maybe when they priced it material was lower in cost I'm basing this on the economy for the last 2 years were everything fell... And since they been up on the rise again this could have offset their cost, maybe they have to many master techs working on less motors could be alot of variables. I sure won't do business if I'm allready losing money...yes we can say let's think long term but in reality this is not were There bulk of their money comes from.
