Yo NEFTY! Check out THIS GT-R V-SPEC

Ummm all I can think of are back seats, lighter wheels maybe, ummm a whole lot more carbon fiber. I dunno what else though!

Even the base GT-R is supposed to have carbon fiber. This equates to roughly 1 cubic foot of steel. It's a serious amount of poundage to cut from the car.

... i doubt it will be that much, maybe a lil' over 100 lbs.!!

The GT-R body is made of a steel body if I remember correctly. The V-Spec must be made of an aluminum body.

Hhhmmmm.........that I don't recall hearing before. I'm still not certain it would be enough to shave 500#. I thought earlier reports said 200#?

First Look: 2009 Nissan GT-R

Mentions the GT-R being made of steel.
