The GTR as a badge is an absolute legend and that is the badge that's sought after if we're going to talk about this. Why else would it be nicknamed 'Godzilla' if it was "oh just a Nissan"? The car is capable, it just needs a pro team the likes of MarcVDS or Vita4One to get the best of it (same could be said for any car really).

Then again, it's not surprising since teams don't seem to like much change in their regiment unless they are absolutely forced to change, and it would be minimally cheaper to run this route. IDK :/ |

Maybe a few heads will have been turned by the performances in British GT. |

Im surprised that the car hasnt flourished more in BES, seems to be doing alright in British GT and Super GT. The car has had some teething problems and hopefully they have been addressed in this latest car. Tony Quinn was looking at buying a GT-R GT3 for Aus GT but I think he has brought a McLaren instead.

Ok, given you are the boss in terms of GT3 cars knowledge, please list all the prizes of all the GT3 (6-10 Factory more built) cars or make the extensive research to validate your own words..

So it's cheaper than the Z4, McLaren, on par with the R8 and SLS, a bit cheaper than the 458 with the 911 being the cheapest. Care to drop the argument on the pricing?

It doesn't have Le Mans history, and no Skyline heritage, the price should be same as the Lamborghini.. < 310 000. The Z4 is overpriced also, but it performs.

Sell it at a loss because it's slow. I fail to see the logic in that, care to explain? It performed plenty well in the British GT and SuperGT, all it really needs in BES and other series' is a better team with all Pro drivers.

I missed AM :
Vantage V12 GT3 http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/V...GT3-2011-08-24 £298,000 = 371,0696 € Sell it at loss to promote the car seeing the car compete with the other GT3's, if a car does not race is uncompetitive anyway, the problem then is Nissan is not interested in GT3, their drivers are racing SuperGT (Krumm) or the wec. So then if there are no PRO drivers shared there is no pro driver team. |

I'm guessing why British cars are so expensive?, may be related to London paying less taxes than other countries (The city has more tax free management that's why there are so many supercars at london...), so the final sum Price+Taxes will be the same? I wonder why Mac's and AM are so expensive.

We get it. You don't like the GT-R and don't want anyone to race it.

Nope, I like the GT-R (A lot, that's why I expect better prices that permitted it to be really sold for what you offer) but would (If i could) buy the road version more than this racing one according to actual prices and what you offer. It's called to be fair.

The car is fine, there's nothing wrong with the prices. It's performance has been showed in SGT GT300 class, and by the GT Academy driver. Its been improved upon for next year. Whats the big deal?

Don't worry urdragon, it's obvious you think it's just a Datsun...
That said, 4th is better than last (in SGT) and first is better than last (in BGT). |
