This is why I always have to go to his channel. Other reviewers seem like they're trying to milk it and don't even know what they're talking about or their reviews never answer my question
Joe, I have never seen you have this much fun on a drive! I would buy this car if I was out in the market for one just by your reaction. Well done sir!
@@xxblade.2272 What's the matter snowflake, if you want a nice interior drive a rolls royce. You don't buy a GTR for the interior, plus it beats lambos left and right for a fraction of the price
I love seeing that you have so much fun and these videos. I can see a time when you’re just going to say, “I’m not going back to the dealer, I’m taking this right home and put it in my garage - shhhhhhhh. Don’t tell anyone.”
Godzilla’s a little heavy from eating some of the competition. I’m with you on the stripe continuing down the rear, and that 50th Anniversary script has got to go! Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You really keep topping yourself every time. Do what you love to do because it shows you enjoy doing it! Your passion really comes over to your audience, Joe!... Enjoy it, because we do!
Wow Joe-you were able to score a drive in Nissan's halo car! Very fast capable car! Thanks for taking us along on this thrill ride! May be worth buying if Maus Nissan added a dash plaque saying "Raiti's Rides"!
Joe, you are putting out the BEST review videos! I want you to know that I make it a point to watch your videos because you always add unique content and your humor is awesome! Continued success, and congratulations on your SILVER play button form RU-vid. Before you know it you will be getting 1,000,000 subscribers!
The r35 used to be a performance bargain when it came out and people didn’t just like it because it was a successor to legendary cars. Now, coming in at nearly double the price of the 08 model with little changes, all it’s riding on is that gtr name made legendary by the predecessors and the heritage edition is a prime example of that.
Had a GTR I bought new back in 2010, that oe interior is something we could have dreamed of... I had to retrim entire interior to replace all the vinyl and cloth with real leather
Love your gtr reviews man. People really need to stop looking at just the spec sheets of the gtr vs the competition, this car is surreal when youre actually driving it.
Joe, I totally agree with you with the zonk on that trim around the Nav screen. It reminds me kind of like the Nav trim in a Ford F-150. I like that rural road you were driving on. What area in Florida was that? It was cool! I always really liked the GTR until the Lexus LC 500 came along. No, it’s not nearly as fast as the GTR but God it’s just such a gorgeous car!
Hi Elanor! You are so very right baout the Nav screen. The road I was on is in central Florida on the West coast. You hit the nail on the head about the LC 500.
Brother I am sorry I missed this one, no idea how but my goodness... in the words of my boy "wow wow wow". Just so damn good. You honestly share the joy with us all and thats why youll be at 500k+ subs by the end of this year Not naming names but how some reviewers are at 1 mill+ and you arent is just mind boggling. As always you are the BEST in the business I truly hope you realise this
Really hard to justify the GTR, now that the C8 has been introduced at less than twice the price. When it was first introduced, the GTR was the C8 of it's generation. I am not a huge fan of racing stripes in general, but the shape of the stripe on the hood is terrible. I don't like the design at the corners of the front fascia. The wheels look amazing as well as the exhaust tips. The 50th anniversary billboard on the rear is inexcusable, especially when 50th anniversary is already incorporated into the GTR logo. As far as the interior goes, that screen looks terribly cheap and like you said, needs carbon fiber wrapping. Pretty sure you can get a darker interior color if wanted. The gauges look great, and every sports car should have a tachometer front and center. Not having ventilated seats is a gross mistake at this price point and in the year 2020. Oh yeah, that drive though. I was kind of hoping you would use launch control at least once. Your giggle is a dead give away to every cars driving prowess, love to hear it. Oh yeah, last point, despite my criticism, I absolutely love the GTR, including the looks of it. I have always. It is truly amazing that it still holds it's own, and proves competitive even when faced with much newer competition. I would never buy this 50th anniversary model though. I would save the money and buy a base GTR. They respond really well to mods, and a base could easily be tuned to have better performance than even a Nismo at a fraction of the cost.
Ya problem with c8 is they don't make many. They've closed all orders for it till 2021 model lol and those that are out there costs the same or more than the GT-R.
I know it is a GTR but man... That price seems way higher than what I was expecting around $80,000 but that was way off! For that price, all vents needs to be real! Excellent review Joe!!! Keep it up man!
I have been watching every video of yours for the past 5 months and I just wait patiently until you zonk something for the non functional vents at the front
Hey Joe, this video is right on the money. Love it ! This car is beyond my reach. I have a 2019 Q50 red sport 400 and I absolutely love it ! Do you know if Infiniti is gonna go ahead with the q50 eau rouge or the q60 project black? God I hope so !!!
I've always been mystified and wondered what it be like to drive a car I will probably never be able to afford, but Nissan has cranked the price up on a car with no major changes to an insane price.
Washing those rims would be the bane of my existence. Godzilla will always live on in our memory but the car is looking long in the tooth. It needs a redesign post haste. Top work as always Joe. Keep 'em coming .
Great review Joe! Your expression is priceless when you’re driving the GTR...I know I’ll be having the same expression as you if I ever get to drive one. Make me want to get rid of my 2018 sti for a a GTR, but I love my sti too much right now! Keep up the great content!
That blue so nice, delete that stripe and awful 50th Anniversary script. Props to Nissan for doin that lighter interior and even the steering wheel in something other than black or charcoal. Engine bay's a thing of beauty on this car, especially with that blue comin through. I guess the performance is there for $125k, but so many other choices at that price point it's hard to imagine going with the Nissan. Glad to see you found some twisty bits to blast it around on though. Good stuff! 😊
It already has these pops that are obnoxious enough as you hear in the video. To me personally it's a gimmick. It really has no function and manufacturers do this for appeal, not performance.
@Eason Whittaker (Student) Fake exhaust sound is about as authentic as fake speaker induction noise, fake vents, and plastic paddle shifters on CVT cars.
The new Altima, even in Base form, rocks! My friend & I recently flogged the Base models of both the 2019 Altima and 2019 Accord around for a couple days back-to-back. (They were both low mileage rentals. Altima had 6K miles, Accord had almost 4K.) We both came to the same conclusions: Dynamically, the new Altima was unexpectedly the hands-down winner, by far. The Altima feels more agile and tackles hard corners with far more confidence. It has a noticeably more responsive CVT (the Accord's CVT lagged between shifts, feeling like a Nissan CVT of the early 2000s). Nissan's latest version of the naturally-aspirated QR25DE felt more flexible and willing than the Accord's turbo engine. So fun! On the inside, the Altima Base model's larger infotainment screen was clearer and the audio system sounded and pounded far better than the Accord's. Nissan's corporate and ubiquitous flat-bottom steering wheel design looks better than some in ultra luxury cars! The Altima's Zero-Gravity seats put the Accord's flat bottom seats to shame...even in the rear!!! So comfy! The Base model even has remote start!!! The exterior body lines and sculpting on the Altima are purposeful and thematic. The Accord's exterior styling is dizzyingly confusing, especially up close. The only zonks we gave the base Alti were the halogen headlamps and the 16" hubcaps. Luckily, both of those zonks can be remedied very easily with some 370Z wheels and a quick 15-minute swap to LED bulbs!!! Go Nissan!
The interior and gauge cluster seems very dates. This would car make sense at a price point of around 75 to 80k but 125k is just too much. You have so many other german options for this price. Nice review though!
While I dont disagree regarding the interior and cluster, nobody buys this car for that. It is an absolute savage on the streets and track. That is why you buy this car.
I don't mind the gauge cluster I'm not into gauge cluster screens to futuristic to me like the old school gauges and like how it looks but I do think the info screen could be better more updated looking screen
