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!
Here I am in it.
Another one with me in it.
Me trying to sneak in.

I think this is the same GT-R in this youtube video that was tested by MotorTrend:

The license plate says 562 which matches the ones in the photos.

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

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.

the major difference as to why I wouldn't go with an m3 or z06. EVERYONE who can afford a 70k car, gets the bdubs, corvettes, etc. not many of these will be on the road. something that drew me to the 8 as well. its uncommon popularity on the road. BMW, Mercedes, Corvettes used to be a vehicle that showed class a "society of wealthy". now they are a dime a dozen on the roadways.

Saw it at Detroit next to the 350Z...I was shocked how much larger it was than the Z...my experiences/thoughts were the direct opposite after seeing it in person.
