He's still debating what color to do the 71 in, i'm personally voting for the original emerald green color. Not sure what the actual color name was, but the green with the satin black hood and trunk lid. He's also still debating on cutting and tubbing it. Which I'm personally against in this car, I mean...come on! It's a collector car! Lets do that to a nova or something!

I agree with ford, out of all the cars out there, if money was no object, I think I would locate a z-tune for my daily driver. I absolutely love the look of that car. And Nismo built it to be RELIABLE!

I saw the new GT-R at a Nissan Dealership a couple weeks back. I think the wheels kill the look of the car. I think a nice set of Volks would set it off nicely. Something with a deep, sexy lip

was the GT-R waiting for a new transmission? they provide this awesome launch feature which, if used, will destroy the tranny and void the warranty. great concept for a car. i'll take a 6sp with a roundel on the front of it. not a fan of the auto-manuals. too much stuff to break.

I wish I could take credit for that pic, it was posted on another forum I am on. It sucks cause I heard from the rumor mill that the new "NSX"(also heard Honda insists it is not a NSX, it is something brand new) is going to be paddle shifters.
