Exactly... or is it the NEW 2012??? I'm thinking by then, yes, Ford would have stolen this design... (See Road & Track, last issue, including the 2009 make over).
ORIGINAL: dkano

What is it? Got any stats on it? Looks like the new Skyline from Nissan/Infinity

Looks O.K, but it really resembles the G35. I agree though, I'm not really intrested in the foriegn market. I will say however that my next car is going to be either an H2 or the Cadillac CTS-V..... leaning more towards the Cadillac CTS-V. Too bad Lincoln and Ford has NOTHING to compete with it though... and they stopped making my car too....Lincoln TownCar, dang-it!

I'm pretty sure thats not the Skyline, you know that the G35 in Japan or whatever, is known as the Skyline right?

I thought I heard that the Supra is making a rebirth in america, as a foreign muscle car, 400+ HP and TQ.
its called the gtr...it is the new skyline that they are bringing to the united states and it will rock a gt500's world in every way imaginable. Nissan has promised to set the production car lap record at nurburgring before they release it. its either going to have a 450+hp v8 or tt 6 with awd and a 7 speed. stay away guys, this is z06 competition easily.

Speed, specs, power and price it has.... but Mustang competition? It hasn't the heritage or the heart.

I highly doubt this car is Mustang competition.....too much of a state of the art techno-gizmo supercar, more like a 'Vette/911/Viper challenger. On another subject, I'm currently watching SpeedChannel and a show called Shooting Cars, it's about the dare-devil aspect of the entertainment industry, and they're using a new GT500 for a stunt in an upcoming Will Smith movie(didn't name the title). I don't know man, the more I see GT500s, I want one! I don't care about the #'s, the weight, the only suckie thing is, of course, the ridiculous gouging going on. Saw a stripe-delete white one on eBay(coupe)...that car looks very sleeper(reminds me of a LX 5.0L in plain white-not in looks, but in concept, doesn't shout "look at me"). I would take the rocker stripes off as well.....really like the "plain" look on a super high performance car.

I agree.. you wont see stripes on a Lambo or Ferrari any time soon (aside from their race cars). And Celentzah is right as well.
