well guys I'll be back in the evo community very soon. I found a IX MR for a great deal and the 335i is up for sale! Ever since I sold my evo I've been full of regret and the 335i is just not doing it for me (Its a slug compared to my old evo!) Lesson learned: EVO>BMW. See you all soon!

Not really. I got the 335i for invoice Even if I sell it dirt cheap I'll get nearly all my $ back. I'll stick with the evo for a while...that is until godzilla arrives

Yes the new GTR is calling my name. I want the V-Spec edition though so I'll probably have to wait another year before they arrive. In the mean time a tuned evo IX will hold me over

Haven't heard about the V-spec. I figured they would do a V-spec, but whats the difference?

You can't go to tracks with the new GT-R's. Well they have to be nissan approved tracks due to the navigation system and sensors. If you go to a non-nissan approved track a 111mph speed limiter kicks in. If you do go to a Nissan approved track you have to go get a after track inspection that costs a 1000 bucks. If you don't get the inspection than the warranty is void. This was the original post I found on Norcalevo:

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/07/n...ed-race-track/

We've previously reported on how the GPS system fitted to the GT-R would remove the 111 mph (180 kph) speed limiter when the car arrives at a track, but according to Niikura, it will only work on pre-approved racetracks. However, the GPS sensor doesn't automatically remove the limiter by itself, it has to be manually changed by navigating through a series of menus on the GT-R's touch screen. While having to go to a Nissan-approved track is daft in its own right, it's even worse when you leave. After the track day, owners are required to head on over to a Nissan High Performance Center where a $1000 safety check is performed. Don't do it and the factory warranty is void.

I hate car manufacturers are doing stuff like this... I understand that people munch the engine at the tracks and try to claim warranty on it, but the ECU can store data like this to show that the engine was munched doing 100+mph and not pootling down the street at 30.

If you do part out your car let me know... As far as your body... No thanks.
