Yeah.... like the seats in back of my coupe are good for much more than little kids, dogs and storage! lol I'm 6'4" and the driver's seat is always all the way back, and very reclined! Not much room behind me!

(By the way... love the Roxbury gif!)

I agree with Rich about the style, the bodylines don't really flow well like my G, but it isn't in production yet, and it may have been camo'd a bit to hide the real design. Definitely not crazy about the ricer style wing.

If you want more GTR threads, check out the Skyline forums. Also, whats DSG stand for?

September 27, 2007, 1:28 pm The Countdown to Nissan’s Global Super Coupe BeginsBy Richard S. Chang

Culturally, the GT-R is the Corvette of Japan.Yesterday, Nissan dropped a little note into media inboxes around the world, announcing the launch of the Nissan GT-R Web site. It’s accessible in six different languages because the GT-R will be sold globally for the first time in its 38-year history.Culturally, the GT-R is the Corvette of Japan. There are clubs and meets and tuners who worship the car like it’s a religious artifact. Its product planners sign autographs. Its chief designer is recognized by his first name, Shiro.The first GT-R was produced in 1969 as a performance version of the Skyline sedan, which was not sold in the United States until 2002 (known here as the Infiniti G35). In terms of performance, the later GT-Rs also compare well with the Corvette. Though Japanese regulations cap horsepower at 280, it’s rare to find a GT-R without some engine modification, or under 500 horsepower.The last generation GT-R (known as R34) became a cult car around the world, like the Porsche 959 and the Lancia Stratos.

if the car really is a 2+2..thats such a big plus...i assumed it was a 2 seater since the car was small...but that makes the car the more sexier haha

I just think they got it RIGHT the first time with the gen-1 03-07 G coupes!Would love to have one SCed with a front lip, tasteful spoiler, rear fender flairs with 315's, and possibly a couple of tasteful hood vents.....

As much as I like your sig... it's WAY too big. Image size is 600x200 pixels. Please fix, so I don't have to. Thanks!

Not sure I like the name of the 536HP trim, Evolution? GT-R Evo? But the specs... well... I wish I could afford one of these. I also at first didn't like the body styling, but it's kinda grown on me. I just wish they weren't separating it from the Skyline name. Oh well, definitely an awesome car!
