No kidding, but who wouldn't buy a 500hp rwd coupe or sedan for 60-70k

 

Well, if you twin turbo the G you can get over 500 and probable won't hit 70k

 

Don't forget the $20,000.00 in "additional dealer mark up" that will be at the bottom of the sticker....

 

And your reliablity sucks, warranty is gone etc....

 

OK...now be honest...what OTD price did you try to get them down to and would you let Slick go for the right deal!

 

when i went to get my G i stopped at a nissan dealership and was gawking a GTR in the showroom one of the salesman came up and we talked a bit i asked him if i wanted to take this home where would be start on price? he said from $95k but that was back in 2011

 

Then when the new twin turbo Q comes out that should be enough HP

 

What's th rumor on a twin turbo Q. I haven't heard about it???

^About time. I wonder if the suspension/drivetrain will be similar to the GTR as well.

 

There's fast, and then there's the 2.3 seconds it takes to launch the AMS Alpha Omega Nissan GT-R to 60 mph from a standstill. Designed and built as the research test bed for many AMS products, the Alpha Omega packs around 1,700 horsepower, thanks to a complete AMS 4.0-liter engine and an upgraded AMS turbo kit.

 

The dealership here in Murfreesboro said they have sold more GT-R's than almost anyone in the southeast, I have personally seen two around town. The salesman said he would get me out the door for 100k after giving me 16k for my G....o so tempting.

 

Those potential customers are the guys who end up with the drop top porsche boxsters or convertible corvettes with autotragic transmissions because they desperately need something to get attention and comes with the name. They're more interested in prestige than the performance of the car.

if you're someone shopping for a car because of it's name, then you are not a car enthusiast. if someones got any knowledge of cars, they'll use that when it comes to buying one. the GT-R is an absolute beast of a car, and if the mid life crisis morons can't see past the name Nissan, then that's their problem. I see these guys all the time in their expensive "look at me, I have a (insert luxury brand here) convertible", driving 15mph below the speed limit in the right lane of the highway.

As for the LF-A. It's a good car. Not for me. For it's price (close to $400,000?), I'd expect something that performs A LOT better than it does. Lexus seems to be overly hyping the exhaust note for the LF-A because that's all the car has going for it it seems. But honestly, the Ferrari V8's from the F360 sound better, and that's years ago. Toyota is gonna have to do 10x better to impress me.

Instead of one LF-A. I will take two GTR's. Make one a drag car and send it to AMS to get their Alpha 10 package for 1100HP and run 8's for shiits and giggles. Modify the other for track racing and run circles around 95% of the competition, and finally buy a nice comfy Range Rover with the rest of the money. The other guy will have his bone stock, much more expensive to fix, LF-A.

Well played, Toyota. Well played.

 

Coming from a built 450HP Evo 8 that used a few AMS products, I know all about them.

Their parts are among the best and they know their stuff. The stuff they did before the GTR with the Evos tiny 2.0L 4 banger is nothing short of amazing.

 

Your right up the road from me (Huntsville, AL) Frankly that doesn't surprise me...there is alot of money in the Nashville Area!!! You can always tell a GT-R from Murfreesboro... it's the one with the gun rack in the back window!!! Sorry old joke couldn't resist.
