My car before the G82 was a 700 HP 2019 GT-R and this does not surprise me at all. Both of these cars feel the exact same at launch but the GT-R never feels like it starts slowing down, the damn things just keep feeling like they have infinite acceleration.

G82 is far and away and overall better car and I prefer it to live with but it's just not the same thing as the GT-R for pure speed. You don't own a GT-R because you like a nice interior, you own one because you want to smash the peddle and scare yourself.

With that said I watched the Nissan live stream today of the 2024 GT-R unveil at the Tokyo Auto Salon and was extremely hopeful that they updated the interior (they did not). If they had, I was going to have to do some soul searching to see if I wanted to keep the G82 or not.

I actually looked at the GTR, extensively before ordering my G82. And I just couldn't justify the fact that its doubled in price, since its inception. The car has endless available modifications, but is nearly a decade overdue for a redesign, and all I can see with the 2024, is that it actually looks softer than the current model.

Even though the GTR is the dream. The Lamborghini Countach on my bedroom wall, from 1985, I just couldn't do it. Im well happy with my G82, especially having every option you can click on, minus carbon buckets.

I thought that announcement was a joke, i mean a year or so ago they announced new colours. I figured this announcement would be a redesign but nope, they are milking the platform as much as the new z which lives on the 21 year old 350z platform.

I had a 2012 GT-R (Black Edition). The cars are awesome... for a little while. Then you start noticing all the little clunks and noises the transmission makes. And the 350Z interior for the 100K+ price tag.

Obviously the aftermarket support is there (assuming you are willing to pay the GT-R tax for everything.... 3 to 4 thousand dollar intercoolers?). Man are they long in the tooth now.

That video seems to downplay that the G80, that was down on power and heavier, trapped a faster quarter mile... which I find EXTREMELY interesting. Kudos to that GT-R.

I sold my M4CxD and I'm now in the market for my next fix.

I have my name on the list for a '23 GTR Premium, but is not the color I want, so I'll probably pass.

Currently dealers are selling at MSRP or $10k over. Which means, you'll be paying around $120k.

This, compared to my M4, which cost me $95k, is hard to justify. But at the end of the day, is up to the individual spending the money and what he's looking for.

I love the M4CxD and here are the main reasons why I got one:
- Transmission (8 speed that feels very solid and responsive)
- Interior
- Technology
- Refinement

What I did not like:
- Looks and sound (no matter what pipe; does not compare to the GTR)

My GTR 2014 BE FBO/e85 Pros:
- your pockets are the limit to the power you want (ecu is programmable & aftermarket is big)
- SOUND/LOOKS: the attention you get is borderline uncomfortable
- Easy to work with
- Airstrip Attack reputation

What I did not like:
- clunky transmission
- no rear passenger space
- outdated interior
- Nissan dealership support

But like I said, at the end of the day, is what the buyer wants. I've scratched that M4 itch, and if I can get a GTR in the color I want with out a crazy mark up, I'll jump on it. Otherwise, you guys will have me back here with another M4CxD.

But as of now, I'm having a hell of fun driving my 2 GLA 45 AMG around town

Yeah, even with my G82 being $108k ($117k with tax/ tags) and having $150k in it, the GTR is just far too ancient of a platform. I need the car a little more asthetically appealing to justify the price difference.

There is no doubt it sounds 110% better. My weakest hate for the G8x is it just sounds like shit to me. Doesn’t matter what you do to it. I don’t like the sound of any of the exhaust or downpipe options. The car just has a rattle that I hate.

[V1L3]

Yeah, I'm having a tough time finding an exhaust combo that I like for the G8X platform. It looks like I'm going to end up going with a single mid-pipe set up.

However...

I got over the GT-R "trombone" pretty fast due to the similarity in sound with the VQ35, VQ37, and VR30s in every Z car and Q50/60. Those are all over the place where I live. And now even 3rd gen F-150 Raptors sound the same...and those are a dime a dozen here in Texas (I myself have a gen 2).

Yup, I forgot about having to have a GT-R "specialist" look at my car for official shit when it was under warranty, and that not every Nissan dealership had them. Service was trash. Oh, and the paint... I forgot to mention how terrible the paint was. I know we have all seen those Nissan Altimas with sun faded rooftops and multicolored bumpers.

I have seen GT-Rs with that kind of fade.
