Default GTR In Showroom @ Agincourt

FYI - I spotted this while driving on McCowan.

Super Silver GTR in the showroom....my first time seeing one in person...wow...pictures don't do it justice.

Get this...they wanted $89k + a mandatory $19k package (track day with prof. driver).

Anyways...if you haven't seen one yet....go have a look!

DROOL.......

The policy on the GTR is really gay...cant use launch control is like giving a man a gun without bullets.

I've seen a few in person. They're really not that impressive at all. I mean, the performance is impressive, but the car itself has no presence whatsoever. It's as plain as a Maxima.

I have yet to see one, but I just don't believe that.

Maybe, the ones I saw were just sitting there. But then again, the R8 I saw was also just sitting there, but still had the presence of a true centerpiece.

There was a red one in there the other week and it was a bidding war for it....I talked to the one sales guy that was authorized to sell it (I guess the sales manager) and we went through the numbers.

I really liked the red GT-R but I figured I could spend 100K on something else (it would also deplete my savings...lol)

Luckily I didn't as now the economy is tanking and no one wants a 100K car...I rather eat

Seen 3 on the roads already - they look nice but not 90k nice. Performance is great though.

The GTR is merely ok in my opinon. Looks aren't THAT great stock. It will do well on a track, but without launch control it's Z06 fodder on the streets. I will pass on the 110K deal.
