Default Nissan GTR VSPEC Announced 170K??

Heard about this while browsing the M3 forums. Honestly I think Nissan must be looking for some suckers.

Suspension, with Bilstein Damptronic struts, is set up to be ultra-stiff, to racing spec, and the SpecV also introduces Nissan's first carbon-ceramic brakes for production. These massive brakes, co-developed with Brembo, save 11 pounds per wheel and generate titanic stopping force (up to 2.0 G at the Nürburgring) but cost more than $50,000 to overhaul.

I doubt you'd ever need to change them though.

That car is pointless. If you need the performance then buy a real race car, if you need a street car there are far better options for the money, not to mention that their target audience isn't even old enough to drive much less afford a 170k Datsun. I bet it's a flop.

So for an extra 70k you get rims, brakes, some interior and exterior carbon fiber, no rear seats, and a device that gives you 15 more ft lbs of torque but takes 80 seconds to engage? This car is awesome.

On a side note are those Volk TE37s?

It's still slower than the zr-1 and now costs a lot more.
