parents were going to buy a GT-R nismo.

our dealership(who was exclusive GT-R dealer untilll some months ago) said that the nismo demo model is coming out to them in october. the arrangement was that they could use it for around a month and half and then we would get it.

We sell our GT-R....we pay a deposit....and now like three weeks back they suddenly go "oh it's coming out in end 2015 the latest maybe even 2016". ofcourse we are pissed but their attitude is basically "**** you go die in a ditch here is your money". we are planning to sue them. for lying about the release date. we have a contract signed with delivery date end of september. so yeah. these guys are screwed but then again. they lost their GT-R exclusivity.

this ******** is why my parents are looking at a vette Z06. but ofcourse chevrolet hasn't talked about release date yet and we don't even know WHEN they will come to europe and how many will be delivered. C7 is no option as my parents refuse to drive stick after the GT-R. and I don't think importing an american model is a solution either since the speedometer would be in miles unless chevy would be kind enough to put a KM/H speedo in it(since the C7 speedo is the same and that one is out here)

last i looked, most cars here in the US have both KM/H and MPH so i dont see why they couldnt import one aside from maybe difference in emissions standards?

Looking at the pictures of the Z06 of that carshow thing it seems to only have miles on it.

personally I know the GT-R nismo is fast and all and a great deal for how amazing it handles and kills almost everything else but it still looks like the GT-R a 7-8 year old model. just with LEDs and some black and red bumper mods. it looks abit like the varis bodykit.

GT-R is the ONLY true foreign muscle-car. Its Boxy look is it's charm. The only thing it needs now is a wheel refresh and some minor interior re-appointments @ the dash. Over time, the nose and length needs some correcting, but it's fine. This car should evolve like the 911 did, very few changes over a long period of time.

I thought the boxy form was it's charm.

now we are on year 7 almost year 8 and its just. I got tired of the look. when I first saw the nismo I was all like "dude that looks awesome".

aaand then I saw it in videos like the one in OP and now I am like dissapointed and not wowed anymore. it looks like a 2010 GT-R with a bodykit. I know it's fast, i know its great. but just I don't like it anymore. Mostly because I had to see a 2009 model for like 5 years.

and then I sat in the C7 and I realised how shitty the GT-R's dashboard/interior is compared to it. cooled seats not in an mercedes oh god. plus I find the look more special than the GT-R.

but then again this is belgium where muscle cars don't exist.

You arent wowed by it because you dont own one. I give the C7 Kudos for the upgraded interior look but it still has that cheap GM look it has always had. Godzilla rules!
