[westpak]

well it is so tough to get the S30's out, I am going to have to finish mine so there is one there, still we had a couple during the day

even had a new GT-R show up and even got to drive it

I just took a few pics, more pics here http://www.sfzcc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6751

You'll have another GTR in FL. Greg Ira picked his up at my friends dealership in SC yesterday. My son & I got a ride in it. Cool car. Got the car at MSRP too!

[westpak]

yeah I have met Greg a couple of times before, haven't seen him at a meet in a while

With about 12 GT-R dealers in the area we should see some GT-R's around

After driving it I liked it but not overly impressed, I guess it is a car that you really have to take to the track to justify the expense, but then taking a 70K+ car on the track would make me nervous

I doubt it will take Greg long to get used to that GT-R... and take it to the track..

Thanks for posting the pictures - just wish Miami wasn't so far away... or maybe it wasn't so hot in Aug/Sept here in Florida...

Looks like you have a good group of enthusiasts in your area..

I am pretty happy with my Nismo Z at less than 1/2 the price. Looking forward to the driving comparison in the next Nissan Sport Mag. The GTR is a technological tour de force no doubt.

I wish it wasn't so far either, would love to Z ya at our meets, we do have a great group of guys, mikewags from here has come out to the last couple meets since he found us, great guy.

yeah price is a huge part, don't get me wrong I still want one, just glad I didn't get rid of my Z's in an effort to make room financially and garage wise for it, my 350Z just feels a lot better when looking for the power, the GT-R will be a nice compromise of power and driveability. I love the power in my 350Z but some times wish it was more civilized, almost 600 horses can be a handful plus the compromises in civility from the suspension and drivetrain to handle the power.

Is it just me but is the back side of the GT_R slightly reminiscent of a Corvette?

[westpak]

or you could say the Vette resembles the GT-R, here is a picture of the last 4 generations of GT-R's

I think the Vette had a lock on the quad round tail lights long before the GT-R did. I was actually just looking at the sharp lines of the rear, the wide look of it.

Nice car to be sure, way outta my price range as well. I am not crazy about the styling but I bet it is a blast to be behind the wheel of one.

[westpak]

I was a blast to drive.

The car didn't do it for me in pictures but looks great in person

Is MSRP typical? here in RDU the local Nissan dealer was excited to offer their GTR at MSRP + $25,000. Nice car...not willing to suck up that kind of premium though

Very few are getting MSRP on this car. I was lucky my friend was willing to do that for Greg. I got my Nismo Z at invoice.....
