2010 Nissan GT-Spec V - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Well i was at a local Nissan Dealership looking into taking delivery for a GTR they would be getting in January when the GM informs me they will be getting a GTR Spec V most likely in February, they said they will be ordering it for the owner of the dealership but wasnt sure if he would want it or not so there apparently is a chance that theyll have one for sale, or they might just put it in the auction, either way the price tag on the Spec V is absolutely mind boggling, but apparently well worth it.

edit: just looked at the link, it looks the same.

ndubz · 12-06-2008, 05:08 PM

That sounds wicked awesome. Good luck with the GTR. Any word on them fixing the tranny issues yet?

SpEcRv9 · 12-06-2008, 05:49 PM

sweet, taking the spec v name....there goes future sentra spec v models, not that the newest sentra spec v is good looking or anything...

jdm free · 12-06-2008, 05:57 PM

looks the same except for the wheels

DPancoast · 12-06-2008, 06:10 PM

meh, doesnt sound like they're trying very hard lol

**Ender81** · 12-06-2008, 06:27 PM

If you read the article it says it will be the same hp as the current GTR. That is a heck of a price jump for some carbon parts.

240sxDann · 12-06-2008, 07:09 PM

As you may be able to tell I'm kind of a big Nissan enthusiast, and I have to say they really pissed me off with everything involving the GTR. Sure, its really fast, and I'm sure it handles quite well, but wtf man? Put another 50k into R&D on the trans and tack on another few grand per car to recoup it, and FIX IT!

Stillen GLE · 12-06-2008, 07:21 PM

it aint really worth it in my opinion.

JSpecV03 · 12-06-2008, 07:36 PM

wayyyy to much money. nissan's never started out as expensive brand. all there new models are decently priced, i just think they mark up the price on the car so that they dont sell like hot cakes, cuz it cost them so much to produce one. just my opinion

240sxDann · 12-06-2008, 07:39 PM

I think they mark it up because..........they can.

JSpecV03 · 12-06-2008, 07:44 PM

^true...i totally agree with that.

motorvated · 12-06-2008, 07:57 PM

im not impressed.

+1.

just maybe just maybe one day i could afford a used GTR Spec-V lol

greek bandit · 12-07-2008, 10:13 PM

sh!t there pricing is getting rediculous, as a hardcore VW enthusiats i really like the new maximas and want one, atleast till i heard there is no manual trans option, only CVT FTL

c0nfl1kt · 12-07-2008, 10:15 PM

I think it's underpriced for the amount of performance you are getting. The ZR-1 beat its time by 3 seconds. Oh wow, the ZR-1 is also vastly more expensive than the GT-R.

3 seconds in the racing world is HUGEEE.
For reference, Ferrari dropped $8 million in 2 weeks for research to get 1/10 of a second faster before the last race of the grand prix.
But who would of thought a Corvette would be top of the list at Nurburgring

I hold my opinion about the V Spec.

Lets see how it does at Nurburgring

Thats the real test

PaleDSM · 12-07-2008, 11:23 PM

If the Jalopnik link proves true it is a huge waste of money over the normal GTR.

For the performance the normal GTR is a bargain. The V Spec not so much from the predictions I have read.

JDMTyler3326 · 12-07-2008, 11:54 PM

I see nothing different! But i still love the R35's
