Crazy to think the R35 used to be criticized by some for feeling digital. 15 years on and it’s now quite analog in a world of so many sports cars gone even more digital.
@@Userxxx840 the c6 zr1 still holds up too but for the time that the R35 was released, at around $70k original msrp, it put many supercar manufacturers on notice. Also the first car to really start the whole launch control craze that I can recall. Ferrari had it too on the 430 but the brutality of the 4k rpm clutch dump still holds up, at the cost of a few early transmissions.
@@alexandrubaginean7369 Saying a car feels analog or digital does not just refer to the interior tech/features. Its mostly about how the car feels to drive and experience as a whole. Whether it feels mechanical and raw or removed and dampened etc.
Rented a 2018 for a weekend... and my god. I couldnt stop driving it. Never was a big fan until I drove one. Fell in love. I daily a 600whp STI and I still miss driving that GTR.
The GTR is such a classic. Love it or hate it, and plenty of people do, it has been an icon in car culture and it's great seeing you do a revisit of it!
Future classic. I’ll never forget going around VIR in one when they first came out, the midrange punch and gravity defying brakes blew me away. It’s far more analog than it gets credit for.
Still one of my favorite cars. I was 15 when it first came out in 09'. I agree with you subtopher, just an iconic design and car. I had a buddy who owned one that his parents bought for him, what a beast of a car. Just FUN.
The Nissan GTR is impressive, its great speed and appearance makes it compete with high-end cars, just as the GTR 34 remains a car legend, this successor is another level.♥
Crazy these haven't gone down in price much older ones still 60 70k ..I wish we got 6spd gtr wish they made some with manual even for 1 year be sick 6spd r35
Absolutely love this car 😍 still a dream car of mine, even though I'll more than likely never be able to afford it. Always a joy to see one, especially in person 🔥🔥🔥
Just had a sneaky quick drive of a 2008 Premium example and can testify the hype is justified, it's very raw and mechanical feeling which you don't get it many modern sports/super cars. I've driven some fast cars including a Tesla Model S and can say the GT-R is up there at the top.
Yeah i would still never complain about this car from 09 to now. Whenever anyone even feels like complaining about it i would just suggest driving it and then yeah. Not much left to complain about
I remember collecting a Hot Wheels model of this car in 2009, and it quickly became one of my all time favorite cars. Some songs from Vegas by The Crystal Method would be perfect for driving on the highway at night. Now that we have vehicle skins in Fortnite, and the Skyline GT-R in the game, I hope we get the standard GT-R as well.
I know people hate it cause it’s still analog. But it’s still an iconic vehicle and super fun to drive. Only thing it could use is a stock turbo update.
Freezing cold take lmao. My pops had an 08 GTR with a Stillen full exhaust and it sounded *good*, but putting it in the same ballpark as an LFA... cmon man
A centered digital speedometer would be nice as well. The awkward analog speedometer reminds me of my frs's, but it remidies that with a centered digital speedo.
I just noticed this, but are we not gonna talk about the CD player?! Don't get me wrong I love carplay, but the ability to play CDs really is an impressive feature in a new car!
I always appreciate when companies go that extra mile to make an engine bay look pleasing. It's easier to just take the modern BMW approach and cover up an eagle's nest of wiring with a goofy plastic cover.
Yes this car is essentially 17 years old at this point, but it is still one of the quickest accelerating sports cars that money can buy. I know Nissan is infamously known for not updating their vehicles often but the GT-R is one of their vehicles that I think still looks better as is than their other vehicles. Plus 565 HP from that 3.8L twin turbo V6 is plenty of power to this day. And yes $123,000 is crazy expensive for this old car but it’s still much cheaper than some of its competitors.
I have a 2015 GT-R that I bought brand new and still like. This car is old, outdated, overpriced and obsolete. The Altima quality interior has especially not aged well. It is a 17 year old platform that has been thoroughly outpaced by its competitive set. It is unacceptable that a M3 Competition xDtive or even a base C8 Stingray can now beat this car and both cost a lot less. Speaking of which, dealers are listing the base Premium at $150,000 and that is before the markup. Anyone who pays that much for this old obsolete car instead of buying a 992 is a fool.
Nissan is too broke for make an R36 unfortunately. They lost too much R&D money due to low sales of their normal cars. That’s why the current Z isn’t so good. It’s because Nissan can’t afford good R&D. They just have to make their normal cars better and more reliable, and maybe we can see an R36 soon.
Even the door closing and opening sound superior. The steering wheel design is the best part of this car. Thanks for the video, I now feel forced to save up for that car 😒 Explain to my wife please.
2017 and up cause of the huge refresh. However 20 and up is best cause they revised the turbos to spool faster and allot of other mechanical upgrades you can't see,, such as brakes and suspension.
Sometimes I pretend my Elantra N is a GT-R lol. Maybe it’s the performance page and dual clutch that gives off those vibes. Of course I realize it’s a ridiculous thing to think ha ha.
I love nissan and will continue buying them but for so many years why does nissan continue to use the window switches and mirror as my 2008 nissan altima and pathfinder. Like this goes for pretty much all their cars. I guess thats what makes them profit and easy to repair.
It’s pissing me off how early he’s shifting into 3rd then let’s off… then bitches about the car not having blind spot detection … my guy it’s not meant for daily driving . It’s built for racing
This car’s price is almost comparable with 911 turbo S. But turbo S will eat this Godzilla for breakfast. Even regular M3/M4 comp will smoke it. And I’m not talking about the outdated technologies. When this gen came out back in 2009 it was quite a breakthrough and obviously one of the quickest car on the planet, but it was 15 years ago! I’m just not getting why someone could consider this car over German competitors especially for this price tag.

On the opposite end, LFA was seen as too clunky and now it’s praised as an analog car.
Its hard being ahead of your time. You dont get appreciated till every follows you along.
Analog all the way please and thank you.
Pretty much. People put the ZR1 C6 on a pedestal because it was a manual transmission V8. Though it did get around the Nurburgring faster.

Say that you can't buy

And sti had more power then stock gtr and shows how good gtr is they are impressive u jus wanna drive 247wish I could afford one maybe one day
Probably by going to a car rental place that offers GTR 😂@reverbandchill3425

How many engines and turbos have you gone through on the STI?

I feel it's absolutely a modern classic.
Substitute Topher has his OG Topher Cadence down pat now, really cool to see how he can match Topher Senior’s flow so well
Reliable car that does literally everything, in any weather (with proper tires), including beating Ferraris and most super cars in races.
You are literally outside my work 🤣🤣 man if I only knew
Future classic. I’ll never forget going around VIR in one when they first came out, the midrange punch and gravity defying brakes blew me away. It’s far more analog than it gets credit for.
the fact that it doesnt have hood struts is crazy
weight, cost, space
Why is that crazy? Doesn't even matter.
lol weight...it's a GTR. It's already a pig. Struts don't affect that. @@drywater3559
I legit don't understand this argument... Why does that actually matter?
weight reduction
god man such a clean whip dude, hope I could spin this around one time in life !
Damn, it's crazy that these are basically unchanged for 15 years. I'm still bummed they are auto only, but the performance is undeniable.
Nissan should be ashamed of itself for not updating this beauty. I'd fire the ceo and the board.
They need to offer a real manual.
The DCT transmission goes with the GTR like peanut butter and jelly.
Car is too much for a manual
@@JDMintegraVTEC I prefer manuals but I agree.
Nissan nailed it with this. Would love to own one someday!
Edit: Though I do think I like the MK5 supra a TAD bit more in terms of looks especially.
What? Nowhere? 😭
True, such a fun car overall.

Some people hate it but I like the mechanical noises from the transmission. Makes it feel like a real race car and uncomputerized.
This car is the one I want nice Nissan GT-R!
I always call my 2009 Sentra a GTR because it has some of the same switchgear inside lol
I do love driving...which is why I need a manual so I can actually drive lol. I get bored just turning the steering wheel.

Such a shame that the infotainment was completely ignored. Those gauge layouts are fully customizable. It would've been cool to see all that stuff.

123k for that interior is ludicrous to me

Sad its been discontinued in Australia
Is there some piped in engine noise? It kinda sounds like it has some speaker engine BS going on?
“substitute Tofer” ? god
Which year would be the best year model to buy? Your thoughts.
2017 and up cause of the huge refresh. However 20 and up is best cause they revised the turbos to spool faster and allot of other mechanical upgrades you can't see,, such as brakes and suspension.

if i had the money its still hard to choose this over an M5, same price
When I make it big imma be like paul walkers brother and cop a T-Spec GTR
LC500 vs GTR which one you like better?
Can’t decide GTR c6 zr1 or 06-10 viper
It’s pretty sad that for sub 120k they can’t include a gas hood lift struts rather that eyesore stick..
Please do one for range Rover 2023
put into perspective, this thing is even older than the current gen 5 4runner.....
Good ol' Nissan "Premium" and have to prop up the hood 😂. Couldn't have thrown in at least one hydraulic hood hinge? Still take a GT-R ALL DAY
