i think 19 and 20 is too big also. thats a whole lot of wheel to spin around. those wheels are pretty nice but the brakes are def ftw. i kinda dont like the roof line. idk. as a whole the car is sexy as hell tho.

you can thank designers for envisioning large wheels. thats why almost everycar for the past decade looks good on bigger wheels... it was designed that way. and which is why older muscle cars look stupid on 19s too.

I actually love how that Camaro looks. The rear just needs to be lowered an inch. (i know its supposed to be raked)

BTW is that Camaro a rendering? And is it supposed to be an example of too-big wheels?

ah yes. you are on top of things. these are the vids. can i just take the time to say that i am proud of nissan for having ***** enough to make sure this is a nissan in the usa and not an infiniti. i remember reading somewhere that the two companies were fighting to have the car under their name. i am soo all about this car. im gonna sell every bodily fluid or organ i need to in order to come up with the money to get one. lol.

I still wish it had a stick shifter, I don't like paddle shifters

"a 7 speed semi-automatic and a 6 speed manual (paddle shift)" - is what i'm reading

Yeah, the Infiniti dealers **** their pants over Nissan getting it.
For a while I was really scared, the crew that Road and Track interviewed in Califorina were referring to it as the Infiniti GTR. Really, Gran Turismo is the only reason the GTR is marketable in the US as a Nissan.

that is such a good point and very true. i won't lie. thats the only reason i know of the skyline gtr. or half of my car model knowledge for that matter. there are so many true to life facts about the cars in that game. thank god for it. lol.

Same price as Z06, around the same performance, personally I feel the 'vette has better looks, the 'vette has 54 years of sales in the USA.

Personally I don't think the GTR will sell well in the US and Nissan will pull it from the US lineup. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
