Somehow I have a feeling the new Honda NSX is going to be really fat and full of unnecessary stuff and it's only going to be offered in a DSG-type gearbox as well.

The SLR was only offered in automatic...but the car was considered a sales FAILURE. This GT-R doesn't cost much though so it should fair better.

Cosworth my ass!Yes, a Cosworth-tuned twin turbo VQ37 will be lame.,
I can produce more power off an inline 4 with the money that was spent on the skyline, no wait gt-r. But Fact remains that it is the same engine that was in the Infinity G37 with turbo lag, Enjoy!
No wait, there is more! Turns out we were all wrong, Engineers at nissan used black magic and wizadry to make the new engine bigger
The GT-R will have a VQ38 engine

All the articles I have seen seem to suggest that the GT-R will have performance similar to that of a Porsche 997 Turbo for about half the price.
What in the world is wrong with that, exactly?
Gearboxes - The Ferrari Enzo & Bugatti Veyron were only offered with "automatics" as people suddenly seem to insist on naming them, yet that didn't stop the fanboys from spewing their inevitable fawning dross over them.
Engines - What is the problem if the engine is a derivative of another unit in production?
Other supercars with completely unique engines, with nothing in common with those used in other vehicles:
Lamborghini Murcielago
Bugatti Veyron?
...
Err..
Seems to me that people are slagging this car off simply for the sake of slagging it off.

[QUOTE=kigango123;751783]I think they just lifted everything from the Infinity G35 and put a nissan badge on it, engine, drivetrain even styling seems similar except for the stupid gearbox"
You have it backwards
Nissan is the parent company
Infinity is a rebadged Nissan
the G35/G37 is sold as the Skyline in Japan. not the GTR skyline, but the Skyline name is a series of cars (coupes and sedans/saloons) and the GTR is the King of them all.

Build/find me an Infiniti G35 with 480hp and then we'll talk. hater.

Marketing wise yes, but the Skyline/GT-R/350Z and all them i believe are still on the same platform.
That was in the link you posted at the start of this thread. Its taken you this long to read it?

Oh dear.I just found out that the skyline is not going to have a manual option.
Rocket Punch Auto Blog: Nissan R35 GT-R is for people who can't drive...
I wonder if the author still laments over the adoption of synchromesh gearboxes which did away with the much loved double clutching technique?
(R30) Skyline offered with synchromesh manual only, for people who can't drive!

Trust me this car is an enzo beater, it has after all posted a 7.15minute time around the ring!!!!!!!!
So what if its a pig, it carries its close to 2000kg weight better than other proven super cars like Porsche and Ferrari. This new GTR is underrated (like the previous GTR) because of the Japanese's conservative power estimates and should have upwards of 650-750hp.
With its highly sophisticated ATTESA system and Cosworth developed engine this car would dominate all ;-).
