Sticker price has gone way up since the cars were launched. The first 2009's were around $72 for a premium. My 2010 stickered at $84xxx plus $3k for silver. Now the new facelifted 2012 has gone up over $90k. A black edition in silver is approaching $105 IIRC.

Nissan prolly realized they could get way more for the car, sell all of them, but still cost less than other italians or german's out there.

I think their plan was to incrementally improve this car and with the improvements means more money.

I dont know if in Canada you have these Godzillas, but sit in one, go for a spin... Let me know then...

I've seen custom jobs that makes me hard and envious. As a secondary joy car, GT-R is the best. R8 comes in second.

This song is dated and probably before your time; however, it seems appropriate:

yes we do have these and a few of the guys I chat with on the loacal forum have them, I'll ask to take me for a ride at a next car meet. I didn't say they aren't performers, I said they look ugly, to me. How they look and how they drive are 2 different things.

If only it had the looks and proportions of a G37 coupe or something like it. I've long gotten over the weight of the car and it's lack of a 3-pedal manual transmission.


er, oops

I never knew there were so many closet GTR fans here. Usually GTR threads consist of people saying the transmission is sh*t, and Moog & Costco calling it ugly every other post

You must be mistaken.

Everything is the same as it ever was regarding the GTR and the peeps around here.
