sweet car, i looked it up too, somehting like the mid 400 hp range out the of the box, and a mid 11 sec quarter mile at 121 mph.
that nothing to shake a stick at.

+1, I feel the exact same way. I'm not sure I will ever be able to get a "normal" car again... but at the same time I don't beleive I will ever get old... we will see.

Man those are sweet cars but just be careful with it.

I guess there are some issues with the tranny's.

Thanks for the honest comments guys. As most of you know, I use to own a "fully built" FC. Power & Handling wise, the GTR would absolutely smoke it!

It doesn't come with a traditional manual, but it Does come with a twin clutch "automated manual". It's only missing the clutch pedal and I'm not missing it It actually "rides" the clutch from a stop, just like I would do when I drove my FC.

And yes, I'm aware of the "speculated" transmission issues, but if it happens to more people, Nissan will probably initiate a "recall" and I'll get a new one. Parts of the GR6 transaxel is made by BorgWarner (KKK turbos, etc).
