New car!

[Fully]

I am thinking about getting a new car.
Now what can replace the VR4?

I have being looking at the Nissan 350 GT/-8 2005 (V36). Thats the nismo version.
Running V6 3.5lt that has a rubble of a V8, with 8 speed gearbox, touch screen...etc

Anyone heard about these? experience with them...any info would be good

Those things are QUICK! We raced one(legally) in a mates VR4 and it totally ate the VR4 alive. Hardly looked like it was trying. Really nice sound too

8 speed gearbox??? Why on earth would anyone want that many?

Ryan the more gears means for SMOOOOOOOOOTH shifting that you will not feel,my sisters partners 2010 Audi S-Line has 8 gears(Diesel) but you would think it only has 1 gear thats how smooth it is

I took it for a test had for a few days, when I rinised it I could only get into 5th and was like WTF still 3 gears left.

For a Sedan I think there are more options, various Toyota's, Nissan's, even the EVO 8-10. For a Legnum owner the only options are newer Legacy's and Stagea's.

Specs on the car: http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/NISSAN/SKYLINE/10033985/index.html

Note it is actually a CVT that has 8 software steps in it.

The newer shape with the 3.7 engine has a 7 speed auto in it. It also has a lot more power http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/NISSAN/SKYLINE/10059870/index.html

I always look at the raw numbers. - 350 GT/-8 = 1580 kg / 280 PS vs VR-4 = 1550 kg / 280 PS

They are almost identical.

PS: http://exchange.goo-net.com/catalog/MITSUBISHI__LANCER/10065460/ = EVO X = 1600 kg / 300 PS

I think keeping the VR-4 is still the better decision. But I always say that :D

This car was on the dyno on Saturday, pulled out 245kw at the back wheels.
