yeah the same rotors are still there....

now the rear has those heat escape vents in the rear skirts not sure if thats going to help alot.. the rear diffuser is more open now i guess in hopes of keeing the rear diff cooler under hard driving which can be an issue especially in the hot weather

I hardly notice it on the current GTR, but they seem to be accentuated with the new car.

Not that I'm likely to see anything but tail lights on the road anyway.

the reasoning behind this seems to be keeping up with the latest refresh of the 997. this car now does 0-60 in like 3 seconds flat.. the GTR still was tested better that it in a few recent head to head track tests but straightline acceleration it cant keep up so the new version of the R35 is looking to up the ante again

would it go onsale before year end or not till 2011?

I think it looks better now..

i think it will be officially announced at or right before the paris auto show in october nissan is going back to the Ring in october to try to break the 7:26 record with this new car... so the paris autoshow is around that time..... i would expect japan to get the car immediately and the US shortly after... i would guess earliest time frame is november-dec but definately before april of 2011... so less than a year no matter whar

Oh, I realize it's function over form. The GTR is an engineering achievement. No question there at all!
