westpak Posted August 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2008 well it is so tough to get the S30's out, I am going to have to finish mine so there is one there, still we had a couple during the day even had a new GT-R show up and even got to drive it I just took a few pics, more pics here http://www.sfzcc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6751 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmark Posted August 17, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2008 You'll have another GTR in FL. Greg Ira picked his up at my friends dealership in SC yesterday. My son & I got a ride in it. Cool car. Got the car at MSRP too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westpak Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted August 18, 2008 yeah I have met Greg a couple of times before, haven't seen him at a meet in a whileWith about 12 GT-R dealers in the area we should see some GT-R's aroundAfter driving it I liked it but not overly impressed, I guess it is a car that you really have to take to the track to justify the expense, but then taking a 70K+ car on the track would make me nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Beck Posted August 18, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 18, 2008 I doubt it will take Greg long to get used to that GT-R... and take it to the track..Thanks for posting the pictures - just wish Miami wasn't so far away... or maybe it wasn't so hot in Aug/Sept here in Florida...Looks like you have a good group of enthusiasts in your area..Carl B.

Looking forward to the driving comparison in the next Nissan Sport Mag. The GTR is a technological tour de force no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the driving comparison in the next Nissan Sport Mag. The GTR is a technological tour de force no doubt.yeah price is a huge part, don't get me wrong I still want one, just glad I didn't get rid of my Z's in an effort to make room financially and garage wise for it, my 350Z just feels a lot better when looking for the power, the GT-R will be a nice compromise of power and driveability. I love the power in my 350Z but some times wish it was more civilized, almost 600 horses can be a handful plus the compromises in civility from the suspension and drivetrain to handle the power.

MEZZZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 19, 2008 Is it just me but is the back side of the GT_R slightly reminiscent of a Corvette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westpak Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted August 19, 2008 or you could say the Vette resembles the GT-R, here is a picture of the last 4 generations of GT-R's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEZZZ Posted August 19, 2008 Share #9 Posted August 19, 2008 or you could say the Vette resembles the GT-R, here is a picture of the last 4 generations of GT-R's I think the Vette had a lock on the quad round tail lights long before the GT-R did. I was actually just looking at the sharp lines of the rear, the wide look of it. Nice car to be sure, way outta my price range as well. I am not crazy about the styling but I bet it is a blast to be behind the wheel of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westpak Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted August 19, 2008 I was a blast to drive.The car didn't do it for me in pictures but looks great in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray Posted August 19, 2008 Share #11 Posted August 19, 2008 You'll have another GTR in FL. Greg Ira picked his up at my friends dealership in SC yesterday. My son & I got a ride in it. Cool car. Got the car at MSRP too!Is MSRP typical? here in RDU the local Nissan dealer was excited to offer their GTR at MSRP + $25,000. Nice car...not willing to suck up that kind of premium though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
