hope they do a bit more to the GTR i think it looks far to similar to the 350z and not enough like the past models i like the old shape and a bit of a throw back i think would be great. don't mind the sti think it is a nice concept and they will scale it back a bit for final production but i think it is a good step forward in design.

they both look like shit...

yeah specially the GT-R and for the engine car and driver don't even know the engine either it should be a 4.5 V8 from the Q45 or the current one VQ30DETT run in JGTC that it was in the GT-R last year and now on the Z that took its place. it's a 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo. they might use the 3.5 but i dont think the 3.5 would last with 400 hp. i know that HKS has a turbo for the 350Z for 7k and only running 7psi.

i think STI is not bad, brutal agresive, but nissan ... ,
i think this is not a way, that look like 350 Z

schnell318 10-26-2004 06:55 PM

Ohhh, the STi looks pretty good but the Skyline is missing something. As bmwmpower said looks too much like a 350 Z :(

gottacatchup 10-27-2004 12:37 AM

STi looks like a streamlined piece of shit, i dunno about the GT-R, considering it has to be based of the G35 not a bad job.

KaBlookie 10-27-2004 01:40 AM

i'm sorry, but as of now, I don't like either of them...although I definitely can see the new STi growing on me...and the GT-R better be one hell of a performer if it's gonna look like that

crazidude 10-27-2004 02:34 AM

The sti almost gave me a heart attack. It looks like hell. Since I've seen a pic of the gtr already it doesn't affect me as much, but it does look a whole lot like the 350z. The shape is the same. All they did is change the rims and front of the car by the looks of it.

chest3r 10-27-2004 08:53 AM

I really don't like Subaru's new design. The front is so ugly :( It's like an Alfa Romeo.

mrpushrod 10-28-2004 10:42 PM

Skyline looks good although the STI is a bit more challenging. I reckon it's a look that will grow on you.

coloradosilver 10-29-2004 12:07 AM

Will the STI get any more power, or is it just cosmetic changes? :?:

neilo63 10-29-2004 12:58 AM

STi has some sort of charm - i like it, the GT-R is brutal as usual. :mrgreen:

homemade wrx 10-29-2004 02:54 PM

someone had posted that pic on NASIOC.com and all the Subaru of America Corp. reps chimed in saying that this is a rumor that wasstarted and that Subaru has no plans of making that car.
If it does look like that, I will never buy a new subie, but keep transplanting the newer better engines and drivetrains into the classic impreza's

leo_26782 10-29-2004 03:27 PM

The picture of the new STI looks exactly like the extreme model in WRC3 (video game). I doubt it is a real project: they just changed the other ugly one for a somehow less ugly one :? . I still hope that when they change it next time, they move back to the first impreza they have built: the best one :twisted:

Skylinefreak 10-29-2004 06:35 PM

There is so many pics on the net of what people think the new GT-R will look like that I don't know if Nissan themselves knows what its gonna look like.

I also read that they will use an all-new VQ32DETT engine in the new GT-R. 3.2liter V6 twin-turbo.

sergei_dekker85 10-30-2004 02:42 AM

damn i prefer the R32 and R34....this one sucks big time

adamk24 10-30-2004 02:45 AM

As I have said earlier.... I think they are both awsome. I cant explain it, but they are Sessy! :mrgreen:

martin100 10-30-2004 01:42 PM

Hmm the new STi does not look too bad IMO. A bit agressive too. But the GT-R has absolutely nothing in common with the old one in terms of looks... Why do they design such a crappy looking car when the R34 looked so awesome :?:

tuffguy 10-30-2004 02:44 PM

The STi's nose looks like a cross between the Evo and the Bugatti, and the headlights remind me of the G35 coupe (Skyline).

<----must agree :D
of course I had to make mine into a WRX

R34 definitely look better than this upcoming one. But 450hp sounds great
