[@YaseenAli-zn9ej]

HULKMANEC u wrote this comment in the r35s prime time. Now their are soo many more cars with ultra advanced tech

[@Buddlebot]

This car still kicks ass for the price.

[@oskar3567]

@@Buddlebot seriously

[@a2ashraf]

I own one. It's total beast. Every day I drive it, I feel like it's the best day of my life!!!

[@stevendhanjal3679]

Great Review ! Its cars like the GT-R & WRX-STI's that allow the experience of top notch performance. Without having to sell your house to buy one..

[@rossoflame]

hey Ross, that closing sentence is really nice. Sums it all up perfectly.

[@backyardliberty6028]

I JUST GOT MY 2015 ...BLACK....YES..THE TRANSMISSION IS NOISE... THE CAR IS ONLY GOT 50 MILES SO FAR.. I MUST DRIVE IT MORE..TO GET USED TO....

[@MrYnoter]

hey so is this an automatic or manual? sorry im 16 and just got into cars and this my dream car, i will have this car by when i'm 20

[@CarrosCenasPT]

MrYnoter The GT-R does not come in manual, u only have automatic and/or semi-auto (paddle shifters). If you wanna get a gt-r for sure get one with paddle shifters and be ready to drop more $$ into tunning it.

[@Rotasu_]

MrYnoter the car comes with an optional shifting paddles that he was talking about being attached at the steering column. Research about them to learn more of it. Considering most new cars are coming out with shifting paddles now and not stick shifts.

[@liljay300000]

+MrYnoter It comes with an automated manual.

[@ginopoe9150]

Well presented, i like the true and honest comments you made about the GTR, how rough it can be to ride in and the agressiveness of the engine. Keep it up!

[@jubei1000000]

if it was a 100 000 id buy one in a heartbeat, they are 180 000 in australia. just crazy!!

[@Corza171]

Really? How much do the dealers make from that?

[@mikesullivane30]

Buy a used one.

[@anthonypugh586]

Michael Sullivan how much is a used one

[@anthonypugh586]

Michael Sullivan how much is a used one

[@jubei1000000]

90 000 for 1st gen GTR, but prices are dropping fast!

[@ThePinoyMamba]

Great review Ross! This GtR is the most awesome car in the world!

[@JackPlayerBr]

This color is beautifoul

[@a2ashraf]

When I drive, i swear I am laughing and just impressed each time. Its been 1 year. Driving this car gets you out of depression! You will get over a lost loved one by the simple joys of driving a really nice car. I didnt loose anyone (my cousin did, thats his feedback on a porsche turbo). Me personally, each day feels like a birthday when you drive and have fun in this GTR

[@BadAppl4]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH BRAZZERS INTRO MUSIC HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAa

[@TwoHawksHunting]

The Nissan GT-R is a monster car. It is not for the faint of heart nor is it a car for the novice. All of the electronics can make the driver feel like superman. The people that can afford the GT-R are very fortunate indeed. Good review Ross.

[@TheOhknows]

Didn't the price of this car start around 60k when it 1st came out? Now over a 100k!?

[@lightbulbisbright]

This edition was never 60k. the skyline back in 2000 may have been closer to the 50s.

[@pascalmpower7944]

TheOhknows Didn't the 0-60 time start from 3.8 and now 2.7!?

[@zapface94]

ROCKETGUNS BOOMBS Launch Control was introduced.

[@pascalmpower7944]

zapface94 Actually is VDC-R mode. It improve to launch the car from 4500 to now 3000rpm to gain grip. Also improved 4-6000rpm throttle reaction.

[@t.o.p.s1372]

more like 70k from the first models of this new generation but yea the price has increased considerably. you do get a slightly more refined ride with the newest ones and some extra hp but personally I think it's only worth 10 to 15 thousand dollars more, anymore then that is just Nissan raining in extra profits.

[@Acc0rd79]

I miss you Ross! Too bad this channel imploded and basically went out of business. I actually am looking to sell my Z in the next month or so and buy a lightly used GTR like this. You are so right, it is a dream to want to own one of these and once you do own one, you never will sell it unless it's for another GTR! Ross, If your out there somewhere, please start your own car review channel!!!!

[@markg999]

That is the best color on a GTR

[@XFIGHT3R]

The way you speak is so honest I liked that and never heard of such review from any other testers out there. Keep on going.

[@edwinacob5857]

man this car is fast rented one for two days lol

[@GTAWildestPolicechases]

+edwin acob does the novelty wear out

[@maestroadam]

Ross- fantastic review. I had the privilege of piloting a 2009 model year GT-R, and my conclusions exactly paralleled yours. It's an extremely visceral experience, it takes one's breath away!

[@Japanophile95]

I love Japanese cars.

[@sammyhtb]

Best reviewer ever. Constructive comment: try walking slowly along the cars side while presenting/ talking instead of standing in the middle. Keep at it bro. Lov the vids

[@mobileturtle]

Before I die I too will own one😎

[@Antilagmike]

Every time I watch this channel I always ask how awesome it would be to get access to press cars to review. Good work!

[@jamdc2000]

I kind of like this guy, he goes straight to the point and talks in a realistic way definetly liked the video

[@PonyboyF1]

Can't help but see the affects of the car's acceleration in the host's voice. 2.7 second 0-60. Can't even imagine.

[@seinsmeld13]

Good job Ross. Sorry to see this show and channel are gone.

[@xxkalihughostxx8085]

wait it is?

[@a2ashraf]

I dropped 100K on it to purchase it. Then i upgraded the exhuast - mid-pipe. Stock is quite as an accord. Then I added Carbon fibre wrap in some spots. I feel totally safe in it. Winter tires [blizzacks] are awesome with it. I stopped counting how much i put in to be honest. Its just fun to spend to make it nicer. I love the car. It makes your driving dreams come true. Only bad part is that you can't see how good you look in it. Honestly, this car is SICK!

[@EddieZ999]

Wow, how have you made it this far in life? This is a perfectly good review of a fine machine. He is telling it in terms that car guys and non enthusiasts can both relate to, so I'd say he's doing his job pretty damn good. Go hug a tree.

[@ryoungii]

First, two words: naked envy. The GT-R is at the top of my fantasy car list, and you were PAID to drive it. Second, you drove it on your anniversary, your wife has to be one of the coolest women on earth...well done, you lucky SOB. Don't ever let go of her. Third, $100+ is not cheap, but you're right, it is an attainable fantasy. Unlike the McClaren or any Ferrari. Thanks for sharing the sheer fun with us video game warriors.

[@ARGSXR84]

Good review, I never realized the ride would be that rough

[@YachtReport]

I agree with most here, the car is obviously a car for performance and not daily use. However I have a 911 Turbo and it can be used as a daily drive. Turn off the PASM (sports suspension) and it drives like any other 911 Carrera. If you wanted a daily driver in Nissan form, then you would choose the non Black edition I suppose.

[@TheMicky53]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and my eyes inform me that this GTR is second to none.

[@mlps93]

No other car at this price point can beat it 0-100 under 3 seconds legendary performance and badass factor

[@bupbup1]

Nice review m8, just bought a 2012 GTR and wow.. Best decision ever made.. For those concerned about the transmission clutch noises and the rough ride.. All you need to do is contact Litchfield Imports.. They will sort it out, better than stock ;)

[@arashn89]

I dont think I have ever seen a video where someone does not like the GTR, Iam subscribed to all the automotive channels on youtube and have not seen one negative video of the GTR, there is none to be found.

[@Bearyeahh]

gr8 review! i really liked the 2second shorts about storeage compartments. i would like to see more of that type of things in upcoming videos!

[@blacuraRL]

Holy Ross! Wow, what a change from just a few months ago! Glad to see him reviewing a lot more performance rides Christmas came early, eh Ross? Lol! Dynamite review as always buddy! Way to go, Charlie!

[@slesperado]

WOW! I LOVE the way that engine sounds! I just don't like how the wheels look on the Black Edition. I like the normal GTR wheel design a lot better.

[@TheBornBoy]

I want to buy this car. But what colour should I pick ? The colour in the video looks nice..

[@Aresbro]

@Ross Rapoport definitely. Of course the wild driving is going to be exciting for you and your viewers alike, but it was your journalism that made the video great. It's the way you were able paint the picture of the car in a very emotional level, and in a way that numbers & statistics (though critically important,) cannot achieve. This is what shined on through your well done video.

[@heckybull]

Very honest review Ross. Still want one of these monsters in the garage.

[@Aresbro]

@roadflytv Ross, excellent review. I do believe this was not one of your best, but hands down, your #1 best review. And no, not because of the car, it was all you. Truly your best work. Keep it up buddy. Bravo.

[@EricDavidson17]

Fantastic video as always! And happy anniversary!

[@gene978]

Congrats on your Anniversary Ross Man. I like my cubbyholes too. I still remember the days of only the glove box and maybe if the ashtray was big enough it would hold my nips. I had the '73 Fleetwood for my second car at age 17 in 1978. It had a trash container. I'd fill it with ice and beer.

[@ListonFrazier]

Friend of mine has one, just did one last ride (since he's selling it). Now I want one, it's amazing

[@drift419]

i just love how the board computer is exactly the same as gran turismo menus it just blows my mind.

[@kll.c]

you should just review every car just like this one. this is probably the best review of this car. do your own show and buy some

[@romodig]

I'm an old guy at 56. I got the GTR 2009 model when it first came out. Not as fast as the 2013 but still pretty quick. Admittedly, it's not my daily driver but it certainly could be, so on that account I disagree with your assessment. Every time I get in this car, it delights me in every respect. Even being a four year old car, I really can't think of a newer production car that I'd trade it in for. Maybe a ZL1 or Porsche turbo S. But AMS or Cobb could give more speed for less money.

[@Siper2]

Great review, and happy anniversary! My wife and I had our 10th, a couple months ago. Wish I could've taken her out in a GT-R!

[@TypeR1013]

Yeah Charles hooked it up. Panamera GTS, M6, FR-S, GT-R, then BMW Gran Coupe in the span of 5 weeks. It was sick!

[@a2ashraf]

Tim, they did not have financing options when I got it. It really depends on the dealer. Give a few places calls and see if they have financing for GTR's. This car's Gear Train is just as impressive as its 0-60 in 2.7 seconds number. The handling, and transmission intelligence is astounding (to me anyway)

[@cts12321]

You make the best reviews out there! Great job

[@rml695]

Ross - Just wanted to congratulate you on two wonderful years with your wife. :)

[@ExecuteDemocracy]

I dunno about most people here, but I think it looks sexy, and it has that air of modesty around it, it doesn't look like a super car, doesn't cost as much as one, but it sure as hell performs like one.

[@davebourque1995]

My buddies got one of these... and he's 18... Its straight piped... Crazy sound

[@MrHanaf]

that digital screen,completely blown me away.

[@KhalilCora]

Congrats on your anniversary

[@rossrapoport5197]

Thank you! glad you liked it.

[@TypeR1013]

Really? That's fantastic to hear. I thought that my best video to date was the Mini JCW, since you can see me sliding the car around. And you think this is better? I'll watch it again...

[@mintchipster]

Brand new models like 2014 Black Edition one's go about $107k, while some older versions like some 2008/09 models go as low as $85k, which is crazy seeing that this car rolls with others like Lambo, Ferraris, and Porches which cost a lot lot more.

[@24karatjay]

I will own one of these in the next couple of years. Mark my words!

[@alwjmonster]

there's another improved version of GT-R just launch week ago in japan, it has now more rigidity, better front suspension setup resulted more stability during high speed cruise, improved interior quality, engine internal has tweaked to give a better response for mid range rpm thus improving acceleration and has now knock to 100km/h in just 2.7secs...

[@CarandRacer]

545 HP stock. Over 1800 HP at the crank when highly modified. Switzer R1KX and AMS Alpha 12 for example.

[@B0RRAC0]

A day to remember indeed! Congrats!

[@jody024]

Big car Tiny guy :P Cool video nicely shot and edited

[@RobDamnImFine]

I'll take this baby anyday of the week! My only dream car, but nothing a little hard work can't make that happen. That goes for everyone! Go for your dreams by aiming high!

[@LordParadoxx]

Nice work, Ross. And the GT-R... oh yeah, that's THE car for me, definitely.

[@lutherblissett7873]

This car has one of the best engines ever for his price...

[@Bl0omiNaT0R]

Good review, but I am a little confused. I get the impression that the reviewer thinks the car is a rough ride. Does he mean that it is uncomfortable or that it is precise? And is it still rough in comfort mode?

[@tyler951]

Lots of federal offenses there Ross! 35mph speed limit on Skyline Drive. I did it too after flying from Oklahoma to Pick up my 06 330ci ZHP. Great drive though :)

[@AKB_48]

Impressive machine. It amazes me, the numbers Nissan achieves. Keep up the ingenious inovation Nissan !

[@ethosflux]

Get into a world class beating super car, complains the transmission sometimes makes weird "noises". Roadflytv... you have a great show, great production values, great photography, great cars.... why can't you get good hosts?

[@cincysilvia8807]

i agree with you completely, i think people need to seriously learn the difference if they want to give their opinions on cars.

[@UsErNaMe5858588]

Skyline drive!! I remember driving my friends bmw m3 on this road..very scenic and I just loved it

[@Devious_assassin]

one of the better and honest reviews

[@sharkymcsharkface]

Nice review. As a R35 GTR owner, I agree - its a very exciting car to drive. On the track its heaps of fun and really tests your driving skills and nerve to the limit. Definitely not anything like playing a computer game. Yes the gearbox is clunky around town its a very stiff ride. But I love that about it. It reminds me of the mega potential that resides under my right foot. The gearbox and suspension on the track however, is unbelievable. If I want to be comfy, I take my BMW.

[@roflcopter645]

Yep, gotta love the Inline-6 engine configuration.

[@sammyhtb]

never mind. i see u do it in ur mustang review. keep up the good work man!

[@edofina20104u]

Excellent review on an excellent car. Great work. Sounds like you will be at the Nissan dealership soon.

[@khunopie]

Congrats to you and Emme! Will the GT-R fit a baby seat... for twins??

[@TypeR1013]

Thanks man. The nice thing is that I was a video game warrior once. My Dad doesn't like cars at all and I wasn't raised around them...so if you'd told me 6-7 years ago that I'd be getting paid to drive these cars, I'd have laughed. It's really a dream come true, absolutely. Thanks again for your kind words.

[@Primetome]

Great review and great host! Well done!

[@fusion01wp]

Great review Ross and looking forward to the next :-)

[@devward]

great car, great video, first time i've ever watched one hosted by this guy. Great delivery and content. video quality could go up a few notches, maybe a few new angles for the on car cameras through out the video. Keeping them in the same spot made it feel like recycled footage.

[@77tom77s]

Happy anniversary!!!

[@TacoManTuesday]

I love the gear whines on dual clutches manumatic. The same type professional racing use in their cars.

[@ordinalkirk]

Good review. Pretty fair to the GT-R. In comfort mode it's not too bad as a daily driver. Worse thing is crawling around in traffic with a car made to go fast.

[@cavey1965]

Ross said the ride was still harsh even in sport mode. I think he means in Comfort mode. Normal is firm, sport is hard but comfort is a little softer and better for day to day use.

[@pmsids]

GTR is everything a fast car is supposed to be. Honestly I expected it to be world beating and it is but I have seen bad ass Nissans since the early 80's and this came as no surprise.

[@cbzo6]

Nice review Ross!!

[@swinglow33]

I hope more GTR owners keep the traction and stability controls on while on public roads. Saw one wrapped around a tree. The tree won that battle. Driver later said he "thought" he had control.

[@BoozeAndSuits]

Amazing machine, what other car has an engine in the front and transmission in the back?

[@sk8tinboy6]

i just saw one about 10 minutes ago the guy showed me the engine and let me sit in it.. then he took it for a drive and i watched him launch the shit outta it id say he went 0-100 mad quickly... this is one really crazy car that deserves the name Godzilla

[@kn520]

This Car is a BEAST, The ACME of Nissan Engineering, I want to buy one someday!

[@a2ashraf]

LOL, i just understood your comment. I think you and 25 other people like you think I only own it on Need for speed? LOL! The car is sick bro. Get one if you can.

great review dude. Nice job!

[@AOCreatrix]

pedals that go with the steering wheel are best. Means you take your hands away from the wheel less. Which means more controland shifting in turns

[@victorcamacho7276]

2.7 SECONDS!!! I can't freaking believe it!!! That just blew my mind! That's faster than some Ferraris!

[@33point3]

great report Rapoport - thumbs up bro

[@TypeR1013]

I came out of the Panamera GTS and the M6, as well as the 911 Carrera S...I got a little spoiled because those cars do everything so well.

[@TypeR1013]

You sort of have a point here. The 911 is a much better daily driver and it gets much better gas mileage too. It also sounds better. However, I definitely had more than enough opportunities to enjoy the difference between the 911 Carrera S (which I also drove, and it was a lot more than $107k) and the GTR. It wasn't wasted by any means!
