no offense, but, that car deserves infinetly higher quality pictures. I'd rather see no photos than ugly ones.

Thanks for sharing. But what's with the engine bay pic of the Evo in there? Made me do a double-take.

!Xoible · 08-15-2008, 12:58 PM

it's very rare when i prefer stock over mods. in your friends MINE mods i do prefer stock over his mods for sure.
those wheels look too tacky on the car. it's a very thick big beasty car, deserves much beefier-looking wheels.

altho

for the front bumper paint job. made the car look horrible.

thanks. bye.

The older Mine's GT-R was badass.

Hate the painted front. Makes it look like a catfish!

renasis · 08-16-2008, 01:12 AM

Hunter399 · 08-16-2008, 01:17 AM

I saw this car at SPP

Very nice!

E90330iS · 08-16-2008, 01:35 AM

wtf huge cat fish

rdsport323 · 08-16-2008, 04:37 AM

Doesn't seem like GTRs are selling very fast... a simple search shows around 58 of them in stock in the U.S.

I would think these would be selling as fast as they arrive

ChaneRZ · 08-16-2008, 05:01 AM

markups.

Yes, this is true. A good friend of my father's actually is a partner/owner in a few car dealerships (nissan/infinity), and I was speaking to him the other day about the GTR. Aside from the usual BS, he told me that he just sold two of them for over 100k each. That wasn't really a surprise at all, but what was pretty shocking to me was how he told me that he almost needed to rape customers on the price with markups because Nissan requires your dealership to be approved to service a GTR before you can sell them. This entails sending your tech(s) to school for the car, and it also requires new diagnostic equipment/tools/etc. He said that at the end of the day it cost his dealership ~$80k when it was all said and done before they could be approved to sell the car. Factor in the limited number of these they will actually be able to get their hands on over the next few years, and you can see why you can *almost* justify the absurd pricing. I was pretty shocked when I heard this, but this guy is a no BS kind of person who I actually listen to when he speaks. If anyone else would have told me I would have thought it was complete bull though.

BTW, to the OP, I like really the exhaust tips.

Turkishexpress · 08-16-2008, 12:00 PM

Don't worry about what anyone says. That car is hot and will run circles around any of our rides with 300lbs more.

ZJP · 08-16-2008, 02:08 PM

I've said it once and I'll say it again.

They ruined this car by not offering a true 6MT tranny.
