They just better price it below the Corvette or their going to have a stinker on their hands.
Cause I can tell you right now, that numeros people would rather pay 65K (U.S) for a Z06, than 70K-80K (Rumored price range of the GTR) for a Nissan.

How the hell can you pre-order a car, when they havent revealed the production model yet, Remember people that IS the GT-R PROTO, although Carlos did say that Proto is 90% of what the production car will look like, its still not production car, I can garuntee you those CF trim will disapear.
and heres another thing.
How in hell can you pre-order something, when they havent even revealed the price, and when its going on sale, sure spring 2008 makes sense *rolleyes*.
The car is still being tested at the Nurburgring.
Not unless your the Prez of NIssan Canada, do I see anyone else pre-ordering one from Nissan-Japan. wait Nissan-Japan, that would mean the car is RHD.
I Smell BS.

or..
you can get a Skyline which 1-14 years old and have it in Canada, but it will have to be a show car and cannot be driven on the streets untill it's 15 years old.

The engine is a Twin-Turbo VQ series engine that is currently being tuned by Cosworth. Nissan has already trademarked the code VQ35DETT.
Now whats intresting is that Cosworth is working on it, to get that last HP out of it, god I cant wait. and other intresting tidbits is that
Lotus is working on the chassis. excuse me while I go clean myself, just hearing those 2 companies makes me get exicted.
Cosworth+Lotus = Pure sex.
