Nope, just saying if I was going for pretty, I would pick a 911 turbo or aston. Like I said, not a pretty car, IMO, but still a great one.

Wow! you really meant it...GT-R is a beast on its own, gotta be a baller to get an upgrade like this. Does the new R8 have a chance with this beast? Please get more close-up pics of the exterior and interior for us dude! We all drool over it and want to see more pics.

It no Lexus in terms of ride or sound insulation. It's all business, you hear and feel everything, I need to have my fillings checked. People that complain about the IS back seat, shouldn't. GT-R basically has no creature comforts like a back seat, trunk, etc.

The person that asked, the tires are Bridgestone RE070R, 285/35ZR20.

Wow- nice car!! that thing looks like its ready for track:P Grats man

Sometimes I think other cars I could've bought for the amount I spent on my 08' IS350 (I have the premium/sport package with the sport tuned suspension) like an 08' evo or sti but you know what I guess it's the combination of luxury and performance that I am not willing to trade. When I do ride with my friend's 08 evo it just doesnt feel as luxurious as our cars.

Congrats on the new ride! I had a chance to sit in one when I went to Japan, walked into a dealership and sat right in. Can't wait to see some videos of your car in action!
