Hope this isn't a repost, but I was sent this link via email from Nissan. You can watch the Live unveiling of the GT-R in Tokyo.

Why is it that since I've been here you knock every car that isnt a lotus? Get over yourself. This is an amazing machine. Sorry that its not completely stripped down, to make you happy about the weight. Jesus.

Huh? I'm simply saying that with the weight people are throwing about the specs are weak and it's true. There is no way it weighs 3800 pounds and is faster than a 911 Turbo and Z06 with similar/less power.

Also, I think I've mentioned Lotus twice, once when talking about weight since they make the lightest production car that I know of and once when talking about pureness because they have no creature comforts, both legitimate comments. The GT-R is possibly badass, I just need to see all the specs.

Quote the rest of it, it all depends on weight if it's enough. If it weighs 3800 then that is weak. The power/weight would be a good bit lower than the 911 Turbo or Z06. If it weighs 3200-3400 it's about on the money. i.e. Your car weighs 34xx and has 480 hp, if the Nissan has a bit less power AND weighs considerably more, then it's crazy that it is faster on the ring.

Glad you didn't take it to heart.

Im curious to see what really IS up with the new Skyline. It's either the numbers are REALLY underrated, or the "pig" isn't as heavy as they say. BTW, Was that an official time that was revealed?

Ah ok, I understand you now. I hate speculating and would love to see official numbers for this vehicle. As far as comforts go, I know AWD vehicle are heavier than RW and FW, but what else does the car have in it? Guess we'll all have to wait and see.

Hmmm, the fact that this car comes w/ run flats ....on an $80k car.......should quell any bullshit that people spew about BMW's putting run flats on $40k cars.
