This is what happens when you think an STI can handle 6K clutch dumps.

I had a R33 Skyline once, and it's not hard to romp on an American car with one of these bad boys.

Some of the features my spy's have tould me may be on the edition are listed...

520bhp
AWD with rear turning wheels
Twin Turbo with Porshe "zero lag" styled turbines
Quad 4 inch exhaust
Also despite being a Jap car, Nissan is the ****. If I was to buy anything not american Nissan is my first choice, their trucks and average cars are a bit ehh, but their sports cars are very well built.

The block is also a thing of many tales, because I've heard of kits already being issued that stroke it to 4 liters if not stock. And I've heard of several other rumours, but I'd not believe them, Nissan is pulling a Pearl Harbour, this car is the 429 Boss Mustang of Nissan's arsenal, if you see one, I'd hope you where packing big cuz these cars are going to be run very hard straight off the lot, and having driven one, their not bad at all, but I'd prefer a Mustang that was there when I tould it to go. The feel was lacking when I first tried my current GT(meaning theNissan R33 I had was lacking)which is going to be my new hobby very soon.

Looks Pretty Sweet to me. All wheel Drive with over 400HP would own everything.
Hardly. With it's complicated AWD it will be HEAVY, and 400 hp for $75k, what are theythinking.Plus the whatever markups the dealers add on. That's Vette and Viper territory, not Mustang. But the GT500 will smoke this thing for $20k less.

Not neccisarily. The Germans have made plenty of AWD vehicles that were light too.

+ as long as it's not as heavy as the mustangs, it should be super fast.

At any rate, I agree on price, the GT500 is prob a much better buy. But AWD handling...*drool*

guy around the corner from me has a new skyline, its nice and all but I think nissan is lame for having three similar vehicles: Infiniti g35, nissan 350z, nissan skyline. Skyline looked hawt before, why fix something thats not broken.

Thaicobra, I must disagree again. Tho there are some lite awd cars, this will not be one of them. Nissan is already boasting how technologically advanced this car will be. To the world that is a sales pitch, but all I hear is "it going to have lots of gadgets that require lots of wiring and weigh alot." Things such as rear wheel steering devices, active yaw controlers, and traction control. Short story, I'm not worried about one pulling up next to me.
