ugly as sin. i hope they dont do it. looks like a damn scion

 

I think it's alright, they should bring back the GTI-R.

 

Cheaper to buy.
Cheaper to drive.
Cheaper to insure.
Cheaper to fix.
Lighter.
More power to the ground.
Ability to do burnouts.

Yes. Why yes I fucking would.

 

I wasnt thinking of it in terms of quarter mile times, but more on how it would handle, and when a turbo is involved I would prefer to have either the rear or all the wheels putting the power down. High horsepower, traction issues and understeer are not fun on a road course.

I was able to pass a SRT-4 last weekend at VIR after only three laps when he had double the hp I did. While the high power RX-7's and EVO's, I never got close to.

 

actually u passed rx-7s and evos too.

I doubt it will be turbo. Probably a Sentra Spec V 2.5L at best. Now, if they srapped this and updated the GTi-R, I'd be all over it.

edit: after looking through THESE PICS , there's definitely a boost gauge at the bottom of the center cluster

remindes me of this

 

looks like a whale

 

true

 

I don't think Nissan is going to be marketing this car to the 'road-racers'. Sorry. I personally feel more comfortable taking FWD and RWD cars through turns fast, knowing at any time I can kick the clutch and get some wheelspin without risking a shattered clutch or broken transmission before I've put 10k miles on my brand new car. I've driven 4 AWD cars, and wasn't impressed with anything about the drivetrain on any of them. I have yet to figure out what (if anything) fuels the AWD fad other than the 0-15mph acceleration on street tires.

.. and basing your decision on drivetrain choice due to one driver in one car that you saw once is kind of.. well.. you know.

 

rally racing?
