I think you are spot on my friend!

Well, they said the same thing about the Miata and Viper too, when they first came out. However, in this case you may be right...but it's still a roll of the dice.

I'd scour the whole country by email and fax if I really wanted one that badly; you'll find MSRP or close to it somewhere. After that, it's just a one-way plane ticket and a nice break-in drive home. Who knows - maybe you can even take Japan delivery, have a little vacation, and then ship it home? Both are worth looking into.

well gentlemen...

update: gt-r us

how does gun metal w/ a black interior sound?

good, because i just put a 5k deposit on one; minus the premium package bose audio and side curtain air bags. i'm deaf and i don't want the added weight.

as for negotiations, he wanted 20k over.
i said i'd write a check for 20k right then IF he sold it to me for 10 over.
he came back with 12.5k over.
i said i needed a day to think about it and left the showroom and got into the cuc v.
as i was pulling out of the parking space he ran outside and said the owner just text messaged back to accept 10k.
i wrote a deposit for 5k.

i calculated it will hold its value based on the limited production of them this year and, hopefully, moving forward. there is going to be a long line of people willing to pay 10k over for them. there's one on ebay bid up to 93k the last time i checked.

congratulations to me, eh?

Get ahold of Trey right away and tell him you want there prototyps for it

Here's hoping the STi doesn't get put on the back burner too much...I mean, its gotta take a back seat to a point, but you know what I mean.

[Chris05STi]

Great news Bruce...it will give you plenty of smiles until Cutn Edg gets fixed up!!!!! Any plans to really mod the GT-R? Goals in terms of power, etc?

[MKTURBO]

so bruce since your sti journal has the most posts and the fewest pictures, can we please get SOME PICTURES!!!!!! WE NEED PICTURES!!!! of the GTR!!!!!

[mofoSTI]

Nice! I bet you get addicted to the gtr enough to let all the bs by on the STI.

[RFFG]

Congrats dude!!


Oh man, CUTN EDG GT-R?

[importfanatic17]

Holy **** Bruce, are you serious or are you jerking our chain? Given what you have done with the STi, I cannot wait to see you with a GT-R. If it is indeed true, congrats brother man.

[meffie]

Your the man Bruce. Hope you enjoy the crap out of it. Don't forget Cutn Edge tho :P

done. trey says to let him know when it comes in.

i will say this, other than a tune and some other tweeks, i have no intention of doing to the gt-r what i did to cutn edg. whereas cutn edg demonstrated about how far you can take an awd economy car (before it overwhelmes its street mission), the gt-r has alot more assets to begin with.

horhay: once the motor is dropped in, cutn edg is all but completed as a project. i have every intention of getting it onto a track, probably starting with englishtown for a 1/4 mile shakedown with me making my first trip down any drag strip - period - in what should be a 10 sec car. i'll also try to get into some hpde's with what is left of the season when the car comes back.

[STiJunki]

Congrats on the GTR!! When is due to arrive? and please post pics when you get it!

[amg destroyer]

Wow congrats! Can't wait to see the beast!!
