I ordered one last week. Who can pass on this. MSRP also. This is a hot car. The transmission is first class for the money and twin turbo AWD. I am in.

The GT-R is the newest toy. But for the $$$$$, I'd probably go for a Z06. Similar performance, no?

I have a deposit and first slot on the new Blue Devil code name 650hp supercharged new vet as well. The GT R and the Corvett for less than my RS.

Is that the Blue Devil or Blue Lightening? In any case, it has enough torque to give any AMG a run for the money.

You haven't driven the Black Series, a GT3 equivalent (and better in ways (torque)!

All dealers are doing $20K+ mark up. Do have a sign contract w/ your dealer to sell it to you at MSRP?

Jim, I may go and try to get one at MSRP as well. Is the GT-R deposit refundable?

I know I can probably sell it above MSRP if I don't like it, but I don't want the hassle of doing it.

If you can get one at MSRP and have the funds do it. In CA I'm hearing the dealers are only taking deposits with the understanding that there will be a mark up and its being rumored anywhere from $10k to $40k.

I got to sit in it because I was there on the media day and pretty much all the cars are open--got to sit in the Gallardo SL too--stunning interior all suede and carbon!

The interior materials on the GTR didn't disappoint and were in line for a car of that money.

Just chatting w/ a friend who just drove the GTR and his first comment was its f###ing fast!

The Skylines have a race history in Japan going back to the late '60s. Its a car Nissan has taken very seriously. I'm sure it won't disappoint.
