    Hey Tom, how's life as a salesman? Hope it's going well!
    V-Spec does stand for "Victory". It's to commemorate Nissan's success in racing with the R32.

    As a kid I jokingly thought “M” in M-Spec could have stood for “Motorsport” because of the luxurious aspirations of the trim lol. Capt. Bradford’s sources is as good as it gets I suppose.

    • @TheRacingJoker

      I could see that. But even before I spoke to Bradford I knew the M-Spec was the luxury/executive style GTR with the leather interior and the special suspension.

      @@TheRacingJoker my Motorsport theory came from how BMW M cars tend to finagle creature comforts into a sportier oriented set up vs a regular 3 series or etc. After this vid, I realized I overthought the meaning of “M” in M-Spec entirely.

    I think the V-spec does stand for victory, yeah that Ford GT does look cool, and I quite like the latest WRX, in a world of suvs/crossovers I'm happy some saloons/sedans are being made.

    You should take what Bradford says with a grain of salt. He doesn’t think that final gears has anything to do with acceleration. (3.545 vs 4.11)
    The initial "M" was named with multiple meanings, including "MAN (adult sensibility)," "MAXIMUM (the best driving pleasure)," and "MEISTER (the craftsman's commitment)."

    What about the claim that the R34 GT-R was planned with a V6 to replace the RB26? Is that true? I read from a Wheels online article claiming it to be so.

    I don't know that translation of M-spec being Mature sounds like a basic Google translate translation and Google translate like Wikipedia isn't always correct. That's like saying we all thought that RB meant race bred but it actually means right born, it just doesn't make sense. M-Spec being Mature is false advertising because nothing about the R34 Skyline GT-R is meant to be mature, it's a homologation road going race car there's nothing mature about it.

    • @lately8
      @lately8 17 днів тому +1

      "Mature" is actually completely fitting for the M-Spec, hence why most agree that it's still one of the variations of the name.
      When Mizuno took over, he thought the ride on the V-Spec was too harsh/highly strung. The entire idea of the M-Spec was to be a more compliant car. The Ripple-Control shocks and suspension was setup to soak up more bumps and reduce tramlining, specifically tested on the Autobahn where the V-Spec would've hopped everywhere. The interior as well was upscaled with leather, heated front seats, a more powerful heater, overall and wiper de-icer(? if I remember correctly).
      Softer ride, more interior creature comforts? Yeah it's a more "Mature" GT-R. People always forget in the glaze that the R34 GT-R in reality was a bankruptcy project by Nissan, not the holy grail of "homologated road going race cars". Mizuno and Watanabe wanted to fit it with a new aluminum V6 because they already knew by the late-90s that the RB was getting too old. Nissan had no money to develop one, so they also had to ditch the plan to make the R34 GT-R a front midship. Instead, they shortened the R33 and worked on improving aero.
      The V6 development ended up becoming the VQ, which the JGTC R34s also ran, and in-turn the VR38 in the R35.
