Couldn't agree more. I'm not crazy about the aftermarket options and I would have bought this car already if they offered a turbo model.

If they put in the FA20DIT from the forester I'll trade up and eat the cost. The part about assembly line updates may bring down the cost of the base model and leave room for a turbo version under 30k.

New 240SX.

*exitspeed* · 03-15-2014, 04:05 AM

New GTR sedan. Funny how long that's been rumored and here it kinda sneaks up on everyone.

future · 03-15-2014, 08:05 AM

I want that shit, like you don't even know. I always wanted a new GS......but a skyline sedan? Come on

simmode1 · 03-15-2014, 09:22 AM

What am I looking at here? What is that Infiniti?

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 03-15-2014, 09:50 AM

^^Q50 Eau Rouge. Nissan's new mantra: when in doubt, GTR drivetrain.

SimpleS14 · 03-15-2014, 06:05 PM

Right now that's only a concept. I would like to see Infiniti roll that out in a RWD configuration to compete with the M3.

Hmmm kinda a different class segment. That car(Q50 modded) is 5 or 6 or actually 7 series territory.

GabeS14 · 03-18-2014, 01:58 PM

Very very bonito!!

It would likely be based off of the G37...since that's what competes with the standard 3-series.

I could see that. A turbo Q60 making 400hp would be a killer car.

*kingkilburn* · 03-19-2014, 12:54 PM

The Q50 is the new G37...

simmode1 · 03-29-2014, 05:41 PM

So ummm... Apparently the Z28 is faster than the GTR on certain tracks. Win for FR's with manual transmisions!

So didn't you guys say the Camaro is going on a diet for its next gen like the Mustang? I'm interested. Very interested.

Yes, it's going on the same platform as the ATS. Smaller, lighter, faster, stronger.

It might also help that the camaro, whatever is wrong with it, is not a re-badged roll-off brand dumpster with tcs.

Just saying, the GTR is EVEN uglier than the camaro. That takes work.

*edit* the GTR is only like 30lbs heavier. It doesn't need to lose weight, it needs to lose more than a quarter of it's price.

feito · 03-29-2014, 07:06 PM

ugly as sin some might say....

shinhed · 03-29-2014, 07:42 PM

Funny, I watched that vid for the 1st time a few hours ago and couldn't believe it. Godzilla needs to lose some weight. Anyway, good job Chevy.

*kingkilburn* · 03-29-2014, 08:07 PM

The GTR doesn't need to lose weight. It needs more power to compete more directly with the models it is aimed at. How about turning that twin turbo 6 into a twin turbo 8, or perhaps they can finally put that variable stroke into production.

Nissan proved what Benz and BMW have known for years, rigidity and mechanical grip can trump weight easily.

EDIT
A 5 liter GTR sounds perfect to me.

I can personally attest to the bolded part of this statement. I can also add that indeed because of their involvement in F1 via Renault and The Infiniti brand that Nissan has quite a few tricks up their sleeve in the tech department on top of the brilliant stuff they have always seemed to develop in Japan.It's just been a question of when they would choose to put it to use.

*kingkilburn* · 03-29-2014, 09:05 PM

The current GTR really is getting long in the tooth. The IDx needs to hurry up and show what this new chassis can do.

silverarrow27 · 03-29-2014, 11:03 PM

So why didn't motortrend compete the Z28 against the Nismo version? I think it would only be fair to test two top performance models. Otherwise, I actually like how the Z28 looks. It looks mean as hell.

That GTR cost like 35k more than that z28....

Matej · 03-30-2014, 01:08 AM

But the GT-R has air-conditioning and a radio, and a windshield that you can see out of.

Ya I am sorry guys but the new Camaro's are fugly. Wait a minute I am not sorry.Chevy blew it royally. Corvette Stingray is much better styling. I mean even Chrysler did it better with the Challlenger. So let's just get off this ugly Overweight Camaro bullshit.

LOL, forgot about $$$...I was just thinking top model vs top model from an enthusiast standpoint and not a consumer.

*kingkilburn* · 03-30-2014, 01:13 PM

If the Z/28 reflects the future of the Camaro then I'm all about it.

*kingkilburn* · 03-30-2014, 01:17 PM

Make that 90% of it's physical size and I'm in. As it is now it's just too big to be a coupe in my opinion.
