I would probably have to wait a year and a half or so... I should talk to my friends father who works at a Nissan dealership here... thoughts?

GT-R definitely, plus with the ZR1 your bound to run into some dumb asses who will think its another ZO6 and won't appreciate it completely. . . not that i care what other people think or anything . . . . but GT-R is unique.

not necessarily... when i ordered my Acura I had to put a 1000 dollar deposit which was refundable...
recently I was at a BMW dealership and was talking about a 335i and they said if i were to order it they would want a deposit but it would be refundable if i decided against the car...
if i don't take the car, someone else will scoop it up...

I noticed how one member on here said Nissan only plans on making 1500 GT-Rs PER YEAR for the U.S.
is it me or does that number seem low. I know they can't flood the market otherwise dealers won't get stupid amounts over sticker PLUS everyone and their cousin will have em(kind of like Honda Accords)(no offense to Accord owners but there are a ton out there). comments?
thanks.

after marketFrom what I've read of the GTR, the ZR1 will be much easier to mod. A simple pulley swap, tune, and headers should really wake the car up (not that it needs it)!

And the most important thing.... the GT-R is missing a manual tranny. If I wanted the car to shift on its own I'd get an auto. Plus there's something not right about a car that looks almost good only in certain colors. I'd rather have an R34 GT-R rather than a C5 Z06 though.

Based on pretty much everything I've seen, a turbocharger is MUCH easier to mod and extract additional power than a supercharger.
