Hi guys!
I know this is probably a bit of topic but I just wanted to share some of my emotions with you. I'm visiting Hong Kong this week and have made friends with several guys in the tuning business. I had a chance to see and ride in the new Skyline GTR. All I can say is this car is a real monster. It's still in it's break in and only has 1500 km on the dial so the owner doesn't push it yet. But it is a real beast even at 3K RPM. The handling is amazing! It feels like a tram on tracks going into corners. And a few fotos of this great car and me    I still love my gt-four, but wouldn't mind to have a GTR as a second car

This is definatley off-topic. I think he's holding the purse for the camera person. Well, atleast I hope thats what he's doing.
Does the new GTR come with a manual transmission, or does all of them come with the 7 speed peddle shifter? -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

it is NO LONGER A SKYLINE nissan has already made that clear its now called the nissan r35 gtr if you get turbo mag like i do then they did a full write up on it and it was on the cover obviously as far as the transmission goes here is what it says word for word.....the layout and feeling of the full sequential manual control and steering wheel mounted paddel shifters feels really good. the transmission setup on the gtr has a dual clutch design that changes the gears in less than a second and decreeses the work for the driver...thats all they really get into about it

I've seen it in person at a car show last week. That thing is amazing. I was shocked when I saw that is was a right hand drive. So are they actually producing these in the US?
