Well thats my dream garage Right there.
I happen to be a very big GT-R fan. A guy I'm in school with bought one and I took it for a little spin. That car does not disapoint. The raw power is amazing. Congrats and have fun with it!!!
just don't use the launch control

Nice MMC ... very nice ...
Random question: where do you store all your stuff? My garage is pretty organized, but with two cars is pretty jammed packed...you rent storage?

I would rather get a Z06. 0 - 60 in 3.8 secs compared to http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/24/n...m-launch-cont/

Because they read it on the internet! 
3 broken tranny's out of 2500 and the guys at some point in the car's history beat the hell out of it.. My opinion is during their flogging sessions, the transmission temps were too high causing damage and eventual failure.

My roots are really in drag racing, but my new hobby is road tracks where the GT-R holds a nice advantage.
Plenty of guys are showing low 11sec 1/4 runs in the GT-R without launch control (and simple mods like exhaust and tune) and there is even a 10.8 guy already. I've been launching cars for years at drag strips without electronics or mechanical assist - and I'll do the GT-R just the same.
