Default I had to opportunity to drive a GTR

I had to opportunity to drive a GTR

Buddy of mine took delivery this week.

****ty cell phone pics, better pics to come sometime within the week. With my real camera.

I did get to drive too for about 30 miles or so.

Shifts are insanely fast
Suspension in R mode has virtually no body roll.
I'm impressed with the build quality.
Car looks impressive in person, much better than in pics.
Taking it up to about 5500rpm this thing is moving

People on the highway were giving the thumbs up and taking pics, chicks included. We went down through south beach here in Miami, and I have never seen a car turn as many heads as this.

We got mobbed at the gas station, people taking pics some knew what it was others wanted to know what it was.

I'll get to drive it again once it is broken in, I'll report my findings then.



2 GTRs LOL




and my friend sent me a pic, he put wheels on the GTR already.

To be honest it does feel a bit heavy. I'll report more once he breaks it in. I'll push it a little and see now the nimbleness compares to the STI.

Great car for what its worth, scratch that, if the times are legit, this thing is a screamer. Only downfall is a center console that looks like it was pulled from a Kia.

The GTR in white is just sexy, those wheels certainly do it justice.
