For those who don't know who this guy is, call him Mr. GTR USA. Sean Morris of RB Motoring and former employee of MotoRex (before they started screwing people) is THE guy in the States when it comes to all things Skyline and GTR. His blog makes for good reading on the new GTR.

Some of the things I've read and asked Sean about are insane regarding the car, especially concerning weight. The engine weighs over 600lbs! The transmission/clutch housing/rear diff transfer case weighs over 300lbs! It's almost funny that a car like this with so much carbon fiber and aluminum body parts throughout can weight nearly 2 tons, but when you see how much the equipment weighs (including almost half a ton in the engine and drivetrain alone) it starts to become a lot more clear.
