$178k(!) for the Nissan(?) Crazy... They're already struggling to sell at $110k+ for the regular version.

Boy they went on-and-on criticizing the MB GT R's lively rear-end. Makes for a more enjoyable on-road experience, no? They're expecting AWD grip from a 2WD car.

And zero distinction was made between the Nissan GTR Ring 7:08 time (conducted by Nissan) and the MB GTR's 7:10 time (conducted by Sport Auto).

Did Johnny really try to sneak diss Chris Harris for doing drifts in his reviews?

The AMG makes the Nismo look like an upright sedan coupe with its sleek menacing looks and it totally dominates on the track and in the noise department. Awesome car indeed.

And it gets crazier when you consider the GT R Nismo they drove didn't have carbon ceramic brakes or R compound tires...very strange omission on a track focused car.

Motor Trend (and Randy Pobst) and Lieberman have a history of loathing cars that can easily oversteer. Randy says such cars make him nervous around the track.

Regarding the Nismo, not many realize, the Nissan GTR NISMO used for the lap time had several different aero parts, different engine tune, wing etc. Stillen was supposedly selling the NISMO N-Attack kit, but most of the N-attack kit was not legal in the US so they ended up watering it down significantly.

Nissan GT-R Nismo 1:35.01
AMG GT S: 1.35.30
Facelifted GT S with more hp and rear-wheel steering will be a great improvement.

Lieberman...
Pobst...

The GTR is old and is not a bang for your buck anymore.
Most of the GTR's I see on the road are modified.

Lieberman...
Pobst...

MT seems to sack journalists every 6 months, but Lieberman has been resilient for reasons I don't really understand.

At least Pobst has an honorary position, he deserves it. Angus is a great print journalist, but his video reviews can be dry.

I do like it, but the price tag is outrageous it should've been standard for the R35 Nismo version, instead, they decided to sell the whole kit separately





"For U.S. Nissan GT-R Nismo owners, Stillen will offer two upgrade packs. The $52,000 Nismo N Attack Package B Kit is intended for customers who will be street-driving their cars, and retains the four-seat capabilities of the standard GT-R Nismo. Opting for the full $98,000 Package A Kit (that’s on top of the price of your GT-R donor car) is intended for track rats and deletes the rear seats."

Too bad this never came in LHD, otherwise, I'd would've bought two without hesitation

Prices are strong now too, even for non-Z-tune R34s.

Even my R32 is now worth 4 times what I paid for it and it's road tax exempt.

I have to say, the used car market is a crazy place right now. Nobody would have predicted a £105k Ford Sierra either.

That's a comparison between False GT-R and True GT R!

One thing they mentioned is the flatter torque curve of the AMG compared to tiny powerband of the Nissan which requires more downshifting to keep the engine on boil.
