    "Because we could" I could picture Nismo saying...

    Just a quick snippet:
    Unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon this week, the 500hp GT-R Z-tune is not only the most powerful GT-R ever, but at $170,000, it’s also the most expensive. Why did they make it? Simple. To show what's possible. And when we hinted at any relation to the next generation GT-R due in 2007, Nismo staffers started sucking through their teeth and looking skywards. One thing is for sure. The 2007 GT-R's sticker price will be around half that of the Z-tune but pump out nearly as much power. Leaning heavily on 15 years of racing experience with the R-32, R-33 and R-34 GT-R’s, Nismo engineers have created the mother of all GT-R’s.


    I'm sure this doesnt appeal to most on the board. But for a few, if we had the cash ($150k) we'd be there. :) Ah a boy and his dreams...

    WOW, for that kinda money, I would want more than 500HP. I guess the potential aftermarket wise is even better then a stock one with the already "beefed up everything". But still, that or a F430, SL65, so on.
