Well I might be a GT-R fanboi but I love it to this day. It does not get old to me. I've seen PLENTY at meets, shows and dealerships.
It is futuristic, masculine, aggressive, different and original and aerodynamic.
HEre is the one bitkahuna talked about at the LFA event we went to. THe guy was VERY cool, let us sit in it and talked to us for a long time.
It was by far the best looking GT-R I have ever seen!!

So did you get a ride in the GT-R? If you haven't got a ride in a GT-R yet you should really try to find a local guy to give you a ride, I'm pretty sure you will like the car even more...
Some guy with a newer modded GS stop by my work yesterday I give him quick ride in my car.. I took him to some back road where there was no car I got on it a little and he didn't have much to say after the ride.. and my car was completly stock

I agree with others that seeing it in the street, it is too big and bulky to really stand out and be noticed by regular, non-car enthusiasts (regular people). Combined with a lack of a distinctive exhaust note, that is the big reason why this car is not noticed.
Are you sure about that? Do you have any proof?

I find it hard to believe. Yes, I would like to see proof, as in hard numbers, not just personal observation or anecdotal evidence based on what you've heard.

So when sticking only to normal street driving, you're telling me a GT-R is cheaper to maintain than a Cayenne, Cayman, Boxster, or a regular 911?

My GTR had about $2000 spend in service/maintance so far for about 20k miles which I think it is more than reasonable for a car with this level of performance. If you think 2k is too much to spend for maintance on a car that blow the door off Porsche and Ferrari I don't know what else to tell ya...

Well.. i don't have much to proof beside from my personal experiance, having 3 Porsches in past 8 years c2 to TT to GT they are nothing but money pit.. try call Porsche dealer for parts and service quote you will see it yourself how OVERPRICE Porsche PARTS and maintance.
- 911 C2
- 911 Turbo
- 911 GT3
- R32 GT-R
- R33 GT-R
- R34 GT-R
- R35 GT-R
- Three different Supra TTs
- LS430 Ultra
- MB S500
- MB S550
- BMW 330i
- 3 different S2000s
- Evo 8
- Camry XLE
- MB E55
- SC 430
- Four different SC 300s
- SC400
- GMC Typhon
- Scion Xb
- GS300
So I guess I'm left wondering where you find the time to drive any one car enough to know the maintence costs.

I saw couple GT-R one year (Jan 2009) ago in H.K. and few more couple months ago in Tokyo. I have not seen it in the States yet.
The car looks amazing in person.
BTW, I'll take the 911 Turbo too then trade it for a GT-R and some cash.
