Wow! That's excellent gas mileage driving through cones for such a high HP car; I only hope it's that good in the straights and on highways...

$50,000 for pads and rotors? What makes their carbon ceramics so much more than those from Porsche? I hope the author added an extra zero by accident.

"And there's more GT-R in the pipeline. Mizuno tells us, "The SpecV, in contrast to what you might be thinking, is not the high-performance version of the GT-R." That's right. Mr. GT-R has more magic up his sleeve."

yes, no big power gain, BUT losing 132lbs in weight is no joke, plus better brakes, stiffer suspension, longer boost option in higher gears, the actual on track performance of the SpecV should be quite superior to the regular GT-R.
