That's an interesting mod... Looks kind'a mean. I'd be afraid of a ticket (at least in NC).

Very good to hear! I'm glad you pulled the trigger and with your car history, I'm pretty sure you knew what you were getting into! Let the mods begin

Thanks, Vic. I think the only time it might be an overlap is if someone already had a PDK Turbo.

As far as mods, we'll see. My GT2 is already so heavily modded (and fast), I kind of like the idea of having a stock GT-R.

I knew my last post was right!

It's much quicker than that...my ISF did 11.8 seconds... If I recall it was in the 10 second range (or thereabouts).

Congrats on the new car Scott.

I know you are the mod monster of cars---- me... not so much but this GT-R begs for its turbos to breathe and I dont think you will be able to sit tight.

A simple Cobb AP is 900 bucks--- you cant get that with Pcars... I actually did like the GT-R in stock format from a dig but felt it really plateau'd at triple digit speeds.

congrats on the ride scott. i've been shopping both 996TT and recently almost closed on a 997.1 TT (so close to getting it), but the GTR has been lingering in the back of my mind. lots of GTR's in SoCal and they are impressive. This decision is getting harder and harder.

Scott I told you the GTR is awesome! Glad you got to find out for yourself, I will be taking mine to VIR this weekend to try a different kind of tracking. I just got back from Spring Mountain in the ZR1 and got the road course bug again and my buddie Jimmy told me thats where the GTR really shines. By the way Mike Levitas of TPC called me and told me he recently drove a GTR and told me he thought the car was unreal!

Agreed! The haters will simply never understand. It's a phenomenal car and I can't believe I went so damn long without owning one.

Have fun at VIR, bro. Sounds like a blast!
