260DET Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I was sort of joking about the standard R35 being too cheap Tony, hence the But the R&D on it would have been very high and obviously that money has to be recouped somehow so actual production costs are only part of the story. There does seem to be this perception thats its only a Nissan though so it should be priced accordingly, which seems to ignore the actual performance aspect. It would be interesting to look at the production costs of a few Euro high performance cars and compare them, my bet is the R35 would turn out to be cheap by comparison considering its performance.

Tony D Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 "I have people, in places, who know things!" LOL That, aside from the fact that I have the original production floor inspection drawings for the pressure-cast 2001 Skyline wheels sitting in my stash of stuff. I snagged them while working at the place and recognizing the wheels as they were passing me coming out of the powder coater oven. Some's firsthand, somes from trusted sources. I don't think the procedure has changed in only 15 or so years. In fact, it's probably gotten worse since they have boondoggled on a couple that showed where enthusiasts loved the car, but they missed their mark in the target marketing. "Oops!"

johnc Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm always amazed at the people who complain about how a high end supercar is too expensive when they don't have enough money to get their project HybridZ off its jackstands. Shut up and finish your damn car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 its not a high end super car though, the famous quote "if i had the money" my money would be towards a used 07-08 zo6 vette, then i could actually afford to drive it as well.

260DET Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yeh well my project Z is long off its jackstands and out there performing like a good Z should. Which entitles me to talk ♥♥♥♥ about R35's and other irrelevants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
