Re: Ever thought the new Datsun GTR was too slow..
You can never get enough! My mates R33 is well over 1000bhp now and I went out in it when I was home last time, its just an absolute animal...
I test drove the R35 when I was at home too, the car is quick and very quick through the gears. The gearbox is brilliant. An extra 350 horses over that must turn it into a completely different animal...
Both are too fast for UK roads!
Thanks for sharing.

I am sure that on the right roads &/or track it's plenty of fun. I have never been in anything that quick & can only imagine how competent & potent it is.......albeit if used on roads too then it would have to be useable when not maxed.
I personally see little sense in this if only driven 2k miles since owned. I can understand why folk have seldom used classic garage queens, however, even if minted I might struggle to justify such a spend on such a tarmac weapon if seldom used.
Once again thanks for sharing.

They sold the roof over their head to pay for that?
Do they have manual boxes?

semi auto is a massive under-statement. these are dual clutch affairs which can switch gear in milli seconds!

Hi,
Nissan GT-R............542 BHP and 0-60 in 2.7 secs.
If I was after a supercar and had the £77 K thats what I would buy. With the change I could do loads more. This months car magazine has the 911 turbo S ag the GT-R............the porker is twice the price . Nuf said for me.
You can keep your Ferraris/Lambos/Astons/Porsches etc etc.
Im not a badge snob, + it will be cheaper to run and the quality is excellent.
Just my Opinion.
