Default National geographic doco on the GT-R

Great stuff and very educational on the process of bringing a car to production.

GODZILA on a overall scale is simply second to none. Also I remember reading something about a special paint process for all GT-Rs.

such a beautiful car in person. I had a chance to sit in one recently and it is amazing to stand before godzilla. The pics are great, but they just dont do it justice. you will think the same thing when you see one of these rare birds on the street. I saw one and followed it until it stopped in a parking lot. when the guy got out, it turns out I knew him already, he was a friend from a local infiniti dealership. Turns out this friend actually owns the entire dealership. He openerd her up, let me sit in it, started the car and showed me the crazy *** dash layout. cool guy, cool car, cool experience
