New 240SX and GT-R

[logik23]

Ok, so has anyone seen the new SCC? The new Skyline GT-R will have either an NA V8 or a TT V6 (sooo gay, they need to keep the straight 6) and it'll be 4 wheel drive (which is good, like the old ones) it'll be stuffed in a G35 coupe body with round tailights. Up to now, it's not a Skyline, but it's still not bad, but what comes next is mind-blowingly shockingly gay, IT'S ONLY AUTOMATIC!!!!!!! They'll have an M5 style 7 speed pussy-matic tranny! Oh and since it's not a Skyline anymore, it won't be called that, it'll be the Infiniti GT-R....so lame...well maybe not, at least they don't ruin the Skyline name with this shitbox.

Which brings me to the part about the 240SX, does this mean the new 240SX will be nothing like the one we know and love now? Maybe they'll ruin it to! FWD, narrow and tall and short, only automatic, foor doors? Rich people are ruining cars, they want alot of power with minimal effort! They are shitting on legends, I mean the next Supra will have a mid-mounted V10, WTF????? At least Mitsu has it right, the EVO IX is just an update of the VIII, which was pretty sweet.

Anyways, DOWN WITH AUTOMATIC AND BIG ENGINES!!!!!! lol

Whats wrong with an MR v10?

I'll take that over an FR I6.

next thing you know there going to be redlining at 5500 like 350 small block...what a crock of shit

[orestes]

man....

i would take an M5 style 7 speed SMG over a standard transm. any day.

i think you havent read enough about the crazy tech of these things man.

do yourself a favor and read about it! its fucking cool!

[driftking777]

i think his point is a larger displacement for something that was badass as a v6...and switching it to a mr instead of fr...thats wrong...unless its tucked way back in the front...wich they call mr sometimes too...but whatever

[D-Bo]

actually the supra is supposed to have a brand new 4.5L V8 or 3.5 V6..


but for the 240sx i don't know where they're gonna go with that.. they should definitely keep the style, not turn to the 350 or g35 style, rwd, optional advanced hicas, and something new that will appeal to today's market. who knows, maybe even a 2.4L turbo would get people to say "wow i want that".. since so many companies are going turbo now..

d@mn that supra looks nice i have always wanted a supra, but im to poor

Actually, SCC had a picture of an actual Supra at the test track with the V10 engine, not just a drawing, and it'll be a hybrid car with batteries and some Prius inspired bullshit. Oh and to the guy who likes automatics, that's nice, can you even drive standard? There's no reason to put an automatc in any car instead of a stick.

automatics are for old people who should not even be driving! get a stick and drive they way cars were meant to be

DAMN' FINALLY SOMEONE I AGREE WITHH 100%!!! All automatic cars should be electric slow cars or minivans/SUVs, there's no reason to have anything else with an auto.

yes there is... women

[Hit_N_Run-player]

well i agree it should come with manual std, but have an auto option....

[Ace$nyper]

Thumbs down to this ricy B/S

[logik23]

Why have an automatic on anything remotely sporty or on anything that hints of performance? It shoul dbe outlawed, should be a sin.

Look.... I love manual tranny over auto, but auto has advanced allot. Manual tranny requires good driving skills to allow the full potential of the car. i.e. launching ...etc. + 80% of car out there have autos.


Don’t get me wrong, I love manual, but the cars have to evolve based on demand of the consumer, not the enthusiast. The GT-R infinity will not appeal to all if it was not high tech and luxurious. Remember the G35 GT-R is no 25Gs car like the Subaru. It will be expensive, and the buyer will consider other cars like the M3 etc. SO Nissan wants to be competitive and hence make the car electronically innovative and futuristic. Hence the drive-train, auto/treptronic combo.




Finally Times has changed; u can't expect everything to remain the same. (Stick is on its way out!)
