ShareThisIf the news of the 2009 Nissan 370Z featuring an automated rev-matching system rankled the true believers of the Z Cult, this news is bound to raise similar ire.
The good lads at PistonHeads have reported that Nissan is working on a ‘Spec-M’ version of the monstrous new Porsche-killing Nissan GT-R, offering softies a ride that promises to be kinder to their sensitive bot-bots.
The GT-R’s track-ready suspension will go back on the shelves, replaced by a marshmallow-coated setup, offering a more refined ride and featuring ripple-control shock absorbers.
Not unlike the difference between the RZ (sport) and GZ (luxury) trims of the last Toyota Supra, the GT-R Spec-M will offer a wider range of interior colour and trim choices to entice the upmarket buyer, such as BMW-like aluminium, wood grain, leather made from the children of the lower classes, that sort of thing.
Despite the desire to grab the attention of fat executives, the Spec-M is expected to cost around ¥13 million (AU$191,000), while the Spec V costs – in Japan – over ¥16 million (AU$235k).

Don't mention THAT car in a GT-R article...
You could have just referred to the existing M-Specs of Skyline models gone by without saying the name of "the car we do not speak of"
I suggest you go and install some performance parts on an RB26 then do some hard launches in a car with excellent traction to atone for your sins.
