I'm enjoying it more than i thought i ever would. it's an amazing car.

I was all about the GTR until i saw the markups dealers were pushing on them.

That combined with the fact that i got $9k off the Z06 definately helped with the decision.

Cheers

$10k over msrp on the GTR is pretty much a steal at this point. haha... I've heard of $45k mark up.

Well, I am half tempted at this point to turn right around and sell it, not sure I could do that though, but I would make some cash off of it I would imagine.

Is the GTR capable of daily driving? I mean 16/21 MPG is not too bad.

I saw the review on Top Gear and this car looks sweet. I still think I would rather have a Z06 but I think the GTR will hold value a little bit better.

i dont mean that simply because it does not have an rb engine. i think change is good, i just dont think car is a continuation of the same lineage. it's not even called a Skyline anymore. i think the marque died with the r34 and this is something entirely different.

if you think about it there has pretty much been a continuous progression since the hakosuka to the r34.
