Good stuff when it was the new kid on the block. Sadly, at the current price tag it either needs to either have better interior/performance (i.e update that old 6 speed dual clutch). That being said, as Zack said, at 110k or so, I don't think many car could handle being modified like an R35, with the exception of the C8 Vette, but that doesn't have AWD.

I mean it took Porsche nearly 10 years of 911 improvements to start beating the GT-R and only with it's GT and Turbo entries, Nissan is only doing yearly tweaks on a shoe-string budget by comparison. It goes to show exactly how capable the GT-R was and still is. I'd say Nissan earned the right to sell the GT-R with a strait face for as long as they have, especially when there isn't a direct competitor in the 110-120K range.

My first memory with the GTR was during my internship at a Dutch car magazine in 2011. That was after the first facelift. I was given the privilege to return the GTR to Nissan Netherlands. Mind you; I just turned 20 then, so 550hp was quite a bit... When they gave me the keys the told me: "Be careful. Don't be "that" intern, ok?" I did two regular launches from a stop light, but nothing crazy, as I was terrified of breaking or crashing a +120k € vehicle. However, after I returned the vehicle and got back to the office, my manager told me that Nissan Netherlands immediately put the car on a scanner and found multiple error codes and overheating history. Turns out they had to replace the complete ECU afterwards to be able to fix it. And they were pretty mad. So I was immediately suspect, as I was the inexperienced kid who drove it last. Luckily for me, I had an older colleage with me during the return and he could testify that we did not do anything out of the ordinairy. Later that afternoon another colleage, who actually had the car for testing that week, mentioned that he put it on a dyno session to see if the car really put out 550 hp or not. Unfortunately the dyno session was during a severe heatwave and the car put on a shitload of warning lights afterwards. After a couple restarts they managed to reset those lights and they never thought anything of it, until Nissan Netherlands went to read the log of the vehicle... Still; special place in my heart that car. Fastest accelerating vehicle I've driven to date.

What I’m speaking on is the technology behind the speed & the price point in which you could get that performance back in 2007/2008. The car is dated in more way than one TODAY. But back then, it was a game changer in the sports car world, in more ways than one. It was faster than anything else (not just in a straight line), & cheaper than anything else. The biggest game changer was its transaxle dct awd system. I understand manufacturers had been testing & setting lap times & going for records prior to the R35. But the public interest as well as manufacturers interest especially for marketing purposes skyrocketed after the R35 came around. We have been in a sort of speed war ever since lol. So yup definitely not a drivers car. Anything that doesn’t have 3 pedals & a manual gearbox, in my opinion, is out of & doesn’t even belong in the “drivers car” conversation.

I think that when the GT-R came out 15 years ago, it was already so good that it's hard to see how to improve it, but Nissan was able to make slight changes year after year to the point where I think there's nothing else to really change at this point. In my opinion, the GT-R is the best that it can be, and it's still a really good performer today. The fact that it is as good as it is shows just how ahead of its time it was. I think the reason behind the laggy transmission in automatic is because this transmission was designed like that on purpose. It was meant to be used for racing purposes to be as smooth as can be and not really for driving slowly. I'd gladly buy an R35 GT-R today, but it's discontinued, so now I'm sad :(

When GT-R launched in US, price was in the $70k range. It was cheaper than the cheapest 911, which had only just started offering the PDK in 2009, despite running with the turbo that realistically stickered on lots at twice the price or more. An astounding performance bargain. The interior, lack of refinement, etc., were not THAT bad comparatively back then, and, again, relative price was amazing. I wanted one and would have bought one had I been in a position to do so back then. Now, price has gone up far quicker than inflation, but the same dated interior, lack of refinement, etc., are all still there. As much as I love the soul and character of this car, the rapid price hikes without addressing its very real weaknesses took it off my list as anything to consider buying. If this was still, say, $90k with a bit less performance but an interior and ride refinement at least comparable to previous generation 911, different story.

Got to drive one of these on the track and yea, they're fast, but that's not what I found most amazing about it...the grip, man. The grip. ESPECIALLY on corner exit. Corner exit is RIDICULOUS in these things! I just kept going harder and harder and HARDER, flooring it sooner and sooner, and it just WORKED! It was NUTS!! Set the track record for the day, too...and l beat a Huracan. 😆

You know what would keep this aging icon in the spotlight? A twin turbo straight 6, a manual transmission and an evolution of the r34 body

[@WIentertainment]

Biturbo not twin

The real question is, would you be better off to buy a base manual Cayman and half a Stormy Daniels bribe or buy this nearly 20 year automatic.

[@ajtam05]

GT-R has the same aura as an mk4 Supra. Is this better than a 911? Probably not because it's aging now. But would I rather own a GT-R for the history & specialness? Damn straight. Plus, it'll most likely appreciate more than a 911.

[@Naized]

2:43 that’s a weird sounding blow off valve

[@turb0b0ytim]

how funny! there ya are, in Colorado Springs. I thought it looked familiar...

[@endure4jesus]

911 is old bro it came out in 1964

[@joeleonard9965]

We are at quite an interesting place when the R35 GT-R has good steering feel...

[@TheSmokingTire]

I thought the same thing! - ZK

[@angelmonroy7044]

What brand's the watch?

[@michaeln.7083]

I think for what they charge for these it's too much.. I've seen them over 100k and used 8n the 90s,.. really I think maybe 60k for a good used one would be worth it.. they've proved fast.. 👌

[@Pyotr_Velikiy]

Still a very capable car that does not fail to impress.

[@grasucat1720]

Anyone that pays 100k for a new M3 is a fool the gtr is still a sweet car and will out perform any m3 on a track

[@Brettnyt]

Maybe, just maybe, it’s not about who outperforms who, but how the driving experience makes you feel. 🤷‍♂️

[@jareknowak8712]

Nice route, I would do all kinds of things with the car down there.

[@ThatRosco458]

I'm from the area, I believe he's on Route 67 about an hour northwest of Colorado Springs. Excellent road

[@Kikkanos]

Am I the only one thinking about the personality of Hedwig in the movie "Split" when he says Etcetera?

[@raphymartinez]

What sports cars are coming with 23’s? Damn

[@john9077]

why are gt500s not in the comparative discussion? the germans you mentioned aren’t awd

[@sutats]

Oldie but goodie

[@RogueBeatsARG]

it still as good in price as in 2007? cause you can buy a 992 carrera for the same price

[@ibrxhimmma8962]

Love Zack

[@Kevin27182]

Just for future reference, electronics technology and mechanical technology are completely different. So let's keep those comparisons separate

[@mustardchan4541]

This car is the GTA V of the sports car world.

[@MobiusGT]

It really shows it's age when you compare it to the c8 corvette

[@Briggsian]

Remember guys, just because something is older, doesn't mean it isn't still very capable. Case in point: Betty White.

[@azbavenger24]

Some old "tuned" style videos? Im fuckin down for that.

[@kamalakeel]

Anyone notice the Mazdaspeed3 at 10:09?
