Have a '15 GT-R headed my way on the truck. It is a gunmetal gray color Black edition.
I can only say that my P car was getting lonely (seeing as how I have only found time to put 7k miles on the clock in 5 years) and needed a stablemate.
Looking forward to checking it out and comparing/contrasting.

 

No matter what anyone in this group tells you, they are still pretty good cars

Congrats! Let me know if you need anything at all!

You have great taste in cars my friend!

Enjoy the GTR in good health.

 

I loved my GT-R, and still occasionally think about picking up another. Enjoy it!

 

Saving my pennies and searching high and low for an E92 M3 like yours in Frozen gray...or a Black Series C63 AMG in that same matte gray -- really would love a NA V8 before they are all gone!

 

Time to sell Longboarder!


hpizking, want to see that report on the comparison though!


Congrates on your addition! Always curious on this Nissan platform.

 

I've been comparing them back to back a lot lately. I just got a Cobb Accessport for both my GTR and the Turbo S. Mitch @ Cobb has been a huge help with getting the maps sorted out for me. Both cars really wake up with a tune! They drive very different though.

 

So GT-R or 997 guys? What's the preference?

 

Should be a great weekend toy. Hope you don't intend to daily it, check out "my expensive test drive" in the gtr section!

 

Congrats! and keep us posted on the comparison.

 

No, it will see very limited duty like my other garage queen. I wish I had more time to drive my cars but its not in the cards. Besides, our roads are absolute crap and I am very hard on my daily drivers. I figure both of the toys will be low mile classics for me when I slow down someday. I will still check out your post anyway..thanks!

 

Agreed..my .2 really came to life and was transformed with Cobb's AP and the BBi exhaust. And Mitch is awesome...already lining up a midpipe and another Cobb AP for the incoming car.

 

ohhhh boy - congrats!

They are absolute monsters, enjoy your entire stable!!!

 

As much as I'd like to, I've yet to see a GTR go very fast on a road course and I've run with quite a few over the years. They are large heavy heavy cars. Hard to cheat the laws of physics no matter how many computers are used.. It's really interesting to see one side by side with a 996/997 to realize how big they are. GTRs really need to be about 600# lighter to be competitive in other than a straight line.. The new Nismo version (I think that's what it's called) is a step in the right direction.

 

I have no frame of reference as you do but I know that the Nagtroc folks (GT-R forums) would take issue with you based on the fact that GT-Rs have posted some world class Nurburgring times -- the Nismo version holds the 4th best time (behind the 918 Spyder) and a regular issue GT-R is I think in position 12 on that list -- a mere 22 hundreths of a second behind a GT2RS...and way ahead of a Porsche Turbo (10 seconds or so). That stuff is subject to a lot of PR but really can't discount the car at all it seems. You just must be that much better a driver than those GT-R folks you spanked!
