[@darylobey8867]

So what if it's a 2018 at least you got a gtr ❤

[@KenLuong86]

5 years ago I found a GTR35 Black Edition in white and it was a 2013 model at Nissan dealership and they want $70k for it because blue book value at 36k on the clock so I got the cash for it and went ahead and bought it. I still have it to this day and I still love it. I contacted AMS Performance in Chicago and I requested a customized package and I got it AMS Alpha 12x bolt-on twin-turbo kit and a new transmission and a new transfer case and Endless Carbon Ceramic brakes and I got the Password:JDM straight-pipe exhaust system and a ton of boost added to it. Hp is sitting at 1796whp@25psi.

I was one of those guys that discovered how incredible these cars were through gran turismo in the 90s. Particularly the calsonic r34 super gt car. I REALLY wouldn’t mind owning a r35 someday.

My son had one. Was modded a bit and was probably the craziest street car I’ve ever driven. Same color as the one you drove. Godzilla is insane! Great video Joe. The launch and pull of that car is mind blowing.

There is something about watching people drive cars like these, especially acceleration, that's so infectious you can feel it through the screen.

Nissan GTR the best!!! Well developed and R&Dd to the hilt. Everyone wants to whine about it but, it is such an icon and unique driver's sports car which is also practical and ready for any season! Hand built special engine. I need one ASAP and you should get one Joe! I urge you! This is the last year, which makes me sad and I hope they reconsider. Please Nissan give us a few more years!!!!

[@andrewsots]

I enjoy watching your GTR R35 videos. You get so excited when you drive them it's great.

I was waiting during the drive for you to say you wanted to take it home. You looked like you were having just too much fun driving it. That and the 9-11 twin turbo elicited a very similar response in you.

Yup about $5k-$7k you can go FBO e85 and get ~150 hp.

[@islanddon865]

A tremendously cutting edge monster. The GT-R and the Z offered the only two vehicles l would ever consider from Nissan in recent years (Thank you, Carlos Goshn). If it's raw, wild power in the genre of a Dodge Viper, then this your ticket. But for me, the Z Car is more of what l prefer.

Never driven one but would love to. There's a reason why it's called Godzilla. It's a monster car. The latest, greatest tech? No but if you're looking for pure performance, here ya go.

[@allin4559]

I have a 2015 GTR 850 WHP .. I don't consider it a "sports" car .. Sports cars generally have only 2 seats and give up a lot of comforts for weight etc .. However it is better at many things dedicated sports cars do .. for me it the best because Nissan created a detuned platform for real car people .. that can also be a DD .. it's lineage is iconic

[@derekgaliee4351]

Great Review Joe 👍😊

[@powamoto]

Mr Raiti now we talking 💀

[@petermeister7191]

It´s the best affordable sportscar in that leaque of power, beside the Corvette. They were not a success in sales here in Europe, but whenever you see the R35 on the road, people are freakin out, pulling phones taking pictures. Decided 2016 to buy one new and did this decision between R8 and AMG GT. Pricewise and also from the overall apperance, this car fitted best to me as a sportive individual person. R8 and AMG GT was a bit of a glam and not really my stile, despite they´re great cars, too. Bought a MY2016 new and still have it. Nearly every stop at the gas station becomes an adventure....same to the value, these car´s meanwhile have....

Best sports car at the $90-$100k price point, possibly. Most reliable car that does 0-60 in under 3s. Can daily drive it and track it. Every other sports car and supercar is fearful to challenge the GTR since they don’t know if the it is stock or 4 digit horsepower ready to take them to gapplebees

I actually got excited for a second, that dealership is only 45 mins from me. But $95k for 26k miles on a 2016 is way way way too high an asking price when you can a brand new Corvette with all the bells and whistles for the same price. They need to drop that asking price by like $35k.
