New GT-R to be rear-wheel drive?
I was reading this article over at Edmunds about the GT-R Z-tune (sorry, if it's been posted) and they mention the new GT-R will drive only the rear wheels? Anyone else heard this? I thought it was going to have AWD...

Sure, it's going to have an array of traction control systems to die for, but Nissan knows all too well that buyers of such cars prefer rear-wheel drive.

I don't think it'll be a bad idea for Nissan to offer a AWD and RWD version. Starting with 450 hp for both versions, AWD will definitely have the handling and launching advantage while the RWD version will have the rolling start acceleration and weight advantage.
