For those thinking of buying the GT-R, You might want to think again!!

Premium Sport Floormats w/carbon fiber inserts $1184.31 MSRP!!!

You guys better have some serious dough left over after purchasing this car to be able to afford any type of mods not to mention I'm sure maintenance will also be very very expensive. Over $1,000 for floor mats? LOL

I think I'd rather stick with the Z06. At least comes in manual.

Not if they want to lose their warranty.

Sorry mr howard, your warranty is void due to plastic floor matts.

(I think floor matts are ok)

Nissan will then argue that plastic floor mats were the cause of tranny failure

I'm sure there will be alot of people that can't technically afford a GT-R but buy it anyways. I know a few Porsche owners that live paycheck to paycheck. I guess it depends what your priorities are in life.

As with many premium sports cars, there is a special "tax" placed on the mods. You can call it the GTR tax

There are probably lots of people here that can't even afford their Z's. You see threads daily with people selling them due to not being able to afford it.
