My friend's got one. Incredibly fast and INSANE!!! but, not for me. Can't deny it kicks butt, hands down. As for looks beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it's not attractive-looking and the interior feels too plasticky and gadget-gizmoee (if that's a real word). I wouldn't mind having one for everyday use, but not for my weekend getaway car.

I was at PRI in Seattle today, another guy from Vancouver was throwing it around. Very fast, very big, and very ugly!

Did I mention it was fast!

Congrats and enjoy!

As another 997 to GTR owner I can say I loved the C2S and now am having a blast in the R35 - hey if its a good car I'm open to it, I'm a car enthusiast not a brand enthusiast

Sorry to disappoint but that is not true. Check over at Nagtroc if you like with the guys tracking and for more accurate info on the warranty.

Congrats, that's exciting. I hear terrific reviews on the world-class performance, but jeesh, with looks like that it'd better be fast so you can't see it. Maybe it's best driven at night?

I once dated a girl with a snout like that, but not for long. You'll be driving your Porsche more than the GT-R in short order.

Was she made in Japan?

And just what was "not for long"?

I think what you're referring too is a butter face. Everything about her was great, but her face. Good from far, far from good. Ok I'm done.

I think the GT-R will grow on me but I have to say every time I see it I think i am in come computer game or movie. Either way, enjoy the ride and keep us up to date on how you like it

Side note: what size are the exhaust tips? 5"?
