It's NOT AN S16!  Look at the picture... it is a G35.  Does anyone know if the G35 has an "R" chassis code?  I know it doesn't have an "S" code (since that is the s15).  At any rate, Nissan has said the GTR will be a one off of this car - much like the current GTR is a one off of the Skyline.  Having seen the sedan, I don't see how this won't be considered a 5 seater.  It is not like the "S" cars with a long hood and tail and a small passanger compartment.  Notice the tiny trunk - there is lots of sitting room in there.  It will be a 5-seater coupe, ala the BMW 3 series or CLK.  

Otherwise, I agree with Ace's anger re: drifting and the SR.  You can have your boosted 250 hp... if I can get it NA, I'll take that!  

Benns - buy an Acura... PLEASE!!  I'm glad they never "putted" the SR20DE in the 240... less hp and tq!  How pissed would I be?  There's also a damn good reason they didn't but the DET in - $ and sales.  But that is a whole other debate

blink - see above - not an s16 (that actually IS Celica-esque).  The G35 is much more like a Jag X-Type when you see it.  The lights are the current trend in all cars, but are much different here b/c of the bulging hood (photos don't do it's curves justice).
