Met up with the homey John from Webrides TV the other night. Seems that Nissan lent them a GTR to test out (Napoleon Dynamite: “LUUCKY!”). Overall the car is really nice. Muscular looking with power to back the looks, it’s definitely FAST. Brembo 6 pot monoblocks, sittin on dubs, nice interior, all good.
I might be the only one, but I really wasn’t terribly excited by it. Maybe I’m biased because I knew the price tag before seeing the car, or maybe because I’m too poor to afford one? I could go into the reasoning behind what I agree and disagree with the GT-R, but in the end people would probably just think I’m a huge GT-R hate-R and I’d have to get the flamesuit (on a side note I’m more of a R34 GTR guy myself). Either way, its a nice car, super fast, high performance…but for $69k + markup…I dunno how I’d want to spend it. I guess give me the cash and I’ll take it from there?
…uh oh, not fat guy friendly. I think I’m the only person who would see a new GT-R in person and be interested in rear seats. Twin turbos? Who needs em, OOH, are those rear cupholders?
