I sat inside of the USDM GT-R!
I snuck into the GT-R when no one was looking, I was the first person to sit inside the USDM GT-R besides the corporate people! Basically, the guy who unloaded the GT-R from the trailer left something in the truck and I noticed that he didn't lock it so I quickly jumped in and a friend took pictures of it. I got in big trouble but it was worth it. :) Oh, there's no VIN on it either. After being scolded by the Stillen people, they told me that I was the first one to be in it besides the corporate people. w00t!

: thats awesome. |
Dude, the car is like pure sex... too bad it's out of my league right now. One day I'll be able to afford it. :)

I think this is the same GT-R in this youtube video that was tested by MotorTrend:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=CSjhHRqULSA The license plate says 562 which matches the ones in the photos. :) |
Dude that's a sweet 8! Oh wait, it's posted in the wrong thread....hehe...j/k nice snap.
|
I have already started saving up for it. I want to be able to drop about a 10k downpayment. figure by about 2 or 3 years after it hits the market I can afford a 2-3 year old model with ~10k downpayment (thats my hope anyhow).
$69850 - $71900 for 2009 model - 10,000 dp = 59850 - 61900 minus 8 trade in (hopefully about another 8-10k = ~50 grand brand new... figure 10-12 grand off for a 2-3 year old model (~5k a year loss of equity). rounds out to be somewhere between 35-40k or 72 months @ 6% = only 11 dollars more a month than the 8 :lol: |
I know I'm supposed to like the GT-R like everyone else, but the side and rear angles make the car look like a whale. I just don't find it that attractive.

^ I used to agree with those statements. but after seeing one IN PERSON (not sitting in it like some people got to do :rant:), my opinions/views changed.

yeah I find it to be a bit too big too. I like smaller sports cars myself. But I have to admit, that thing is a beast.

All your opinions of the GT-R are null and void unless you've seen it in person, driven it into a tree, then watched it catch fire. I happened to do just that last weekend and I still think it's a whale.

It's not as big as you think it is. I thought it was big when I saw the pictures but after seeing one up close and personal, it's actually pretty short in height and in length. It's alot wider than most cars though.

i will always like the r34.
and whos to say these wont be a dime a dozen on the road too? |
I can get one, but not at this time.
I asked a few dealerships in NYC, the markups are pretty crazy, one even said if Im willing to pay 10K markup, I can get it as soon as Late June or Early July. |
