My friend got a black GTR last week. He took me for a very spirited, 20-30 minute drive. He has a good amount of track experience. I was very impressed and the car for me, definitely lived up to all the expectations. The shifting was so seamless.

 

Hahaha in that very long straight? It's not like the ZR1 started from standstill.

From the review below it seems that Nissan's handling, braking, accel prowess isnt living up to the hype. This Nissan has scored the worst results in all categories bar one. You cant blame the driver either since they used one of the best drivers ever to set foot in a car.

I hear the National Breast Cancer foundation has worked a deal with Nissan to offer pink versions because they've linked the GTR to potentially curing breast cancer.

I can see a Mary Kay race team!!

 

Rumor has it Michael J. Fox will have a commercial spot, since the New England Journal of Medicine will be hosting an article on the GTR and Parkinsons research...

Mike

I think we hurt his feelings! He misses his little *****es, Z07 and 240KA.

 

I wish I could live in Ireland.

 

The only *****es around here are those who nutswing off a car they'll never have the ***** to track, and in most cases won't even get to own...

Mike
