Gotta say, after hear­ing this MINES GT-​​R, the need to buy one has increased tenfold!

No word on the spec­i­fi­ca­tion level of this MINES GT-​​R but we’ll try find out.

Just damn sexy, the Nis­san GT-​​R

Finally, after the heartache, tears, and edge of the seat antic­i­pa­tion, the Nis­san GT-​​R pic­tures have hit the blo­gos­phere like noth­ing else. Feast your eyes on Nissan’s lat­est foray into the Super­car mar­ket. Sport­ing the all new 3.8L twin turbo VR38VETT pow­er­house, the new GT-​​R will whisk you from 0–100 in 3.5s or less, and do the quar­ter in a very healthy 11.7seconds. The Corvette and 911 now have some seri­ous com­pe­ti­tion from Japan; and who knows what the Japan­ese tun­ing houses, or just enthu­si­asts, will extract from the new GT-​​R?

But enough. There’s one rea­son you’re here. Enjoy and know hap­pi­ness as only the GT-​​R can deliver.

The 2008 Nis­san GT-​​R

In a some­what con­tro­ver­sial post, the Nis­san GT-​​R and 911 have been seen doing bat­tle on the Ring.

Sure to bring Porsche evan­ge­lists into direct fire from Nis­san evan­ge­lists, Auto­blog is care­fully claim­ing the GT-​​R (not the EVO spec appar­ently) doing the lap in 7:38 vs 7:40 for the 911 (pic­tures included). Not­ing the usual inde­screp­an­cies from stop­watch tim­ing, they claim it still leaves the GT-​​R in a favourable posi­tion of com­ing dead even at worst, sure to heighten debate between lovers of the mighty German.

The GT-​​R is shap­ing up to be one of the most antic­i­pated and hotly debated releases of the 21st cen­tury. Only time will tell who will rain supreme, but until then, a bit of excite­ment hasn’t gone astray.
