waltzinblack Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Essentially top of the board, when you consider the only things above it were completely track focused hypercars costing hundreds of thousands! I think overall it was 5th/6th ish? But wayyy ahead of any mainstream Ferrari/Lambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I feel a massive sense of loyalty to Nissan sports cars now, love them! After having a few pax laps in a GTR the other night at Knockhill and my mrs mate just getting the "Enhanced" version (I take it that is what was tested tonight), it's game on That segment had me grinning like the proverbial and to destroy a sporting legend into the bargain, wow!!!!

rtbiscuit Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 that GTR does nothing for me, if it was a girl i'd have to thumb it in. but if your going by my sense of taste i also think cheryl tweedy is a munter; as soon as she opened her mouth that jordie accent just kills it for me every time. like the GTR and the tweedy, i'm sure both are great and if thats what floats your boat then crack on. if i had 2 have one of the 2 available on that show, i'd take the jag, the interior is nicer the bodywork is nicer the image is better. if i had the money would i buy that jag in real life... no for that kind of money i'd get a masarati granturismo MC stradale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and i know someone who as just dropped 2.4 million on the national lottery and he is now going to buy himself a new Jag For the love of god give me strength!

(nothing wrong with nissan; but at the end of the day it shares its badge with a micra) i think at the end of the day, like the previous GTR's i admire the technology; but i wouldn't have one. as a track toy maybe but i'm not on the track everyday; there are other cars i would rather turn up to a function in than the GTR the car may not be as expensive as the jag, but i bet the nissan parts are.

rtbiscuit Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That's just it - it wasn't 'built to a price' they took a huge hit in the development and every sale still wouldn't have one for one reason only it has a nissan badge on it a 350z with a nissan badge is ok it was a 30k car a 370z with a nissan badge is ok it is a 30k car but a 60k car with a nissan badge regardless of how amazing it is, even if it could drive on the ceiling un aided will still have a nissan badge on it. just taking the badge on its own, its one of the ugliest badges i've ever owned. and then take the fact that the same badge is driven around on 6k cars it kills any kudos the GTR whould have. nissan should have down with the GTR what mitsi did with the EVO, its almost seen as a separate entity from mitsubishi it had its own special ralliart dealerships that only sold evo's i liked my zed and i still like them, they are pretty to look at; but the zed for me was the worse car i've ever owned, and part of that was down to nissan, the dealerships the head office, and the car. and at the end of the day, if i was spending that kind of money, i'd want Porsche standard customer service and sales, not nissan service and sales.

That would be wonderful they do but they also sell all the other nissan crap out of it as well still not specialist enough i'm not slurring the GTR, i know its a corker of a car, will out perform pretty much anything, will out grip, out corner and out acelerate out everything, but its let down by its badge.

Beavis Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I know what you mean about the badge, i once owned a Skoda 105s Estelle! What are the police thinking driving around in VRS's? Everytime i see one i reminds me of the rear engined pile of crap i once owned. not Dont get the badge snobbery if i am honest, i love the fact its a Nissan, a car that can severley embarrass more prestigious marques. its like someone saying tesco's finest is like waitrose it just isn't But you still pay a premium though, And Nissan are not trying to say they are like anyone from what i can see, they are producing their own goods on their own merit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really serious? You're saying that the GTR is worthless because it was made by Nissan? That's crazy...anyone who has seen my Z has either been into cars enough to know that the Z is awesome regardless of whether 'the same people' made the Micra or they have known so little that they couldn't even deduce that it was a Nissan with the Z badges on it...Either way, who cares?! If anything, I prefer it to be made by some clever people at Nissan and be a Nissan. It is unpretentious and is loved for what it is, not for the complete BS that most cars similar represent. The Z actually has some character. On the Nissan parts / aftersales etc...again...who cares? If I had the money to buy a car like the Z new then I wouldn't care about those costs...but I don't. So, I enjoy being able to take my car to people who are passionate about cars (Japex for example) where I know the car will be looked after better than it would at a dealership anyway. The badge is a piece of metal...the GTR is just genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very fact that theres only one Nissan badge on the exterior points to this. There are more GTR logos on the car than there are Nissan logos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
