^ Or, you could just get a normal IS-F and buy the Skip Barber course separately.

True, but the wheels / tires probably cost a couple of grand too..

Wow... did you notice on the rims of that NM is-f that they didnt put the lock nut at the most opposite location to the valve stem... way to balance the wheels of a 'performance' mdl... hope the owner noticed that and changed it right away....

I like the NM Edition. Not sure if it's worth $69K though. However, if you're spending that much $$ on a car, why not add a grand to that number and buy yourself an `09 Nissan GT-R?

$70k for an ISF is so ridiculous. It's a waste. What do you get with it? White stitching on the seats, a NM badge on the center console and the right to say you have a NM ISF?

I guess, in my opinion, NM isn't really that cool of a bragging right, anyway. I think the "F" in ISF is enough. And if you stick with a regular ISF, you're still spending an extra $25k for an IS, but you're not having to waste an extra $12k on things that aren't that cool anyway.

Either get a regular ISF or stick with your current IS.

That's assuming Nissan isn't going to markup the price of the estimated $70k...yeah right, they'll get you because it too is limited first release as well.

Nissan builds Crap...sorry but true...the cars simply aint what they used to be...the reliability is crap....stupid problems left and right...

I'm quite sure the GTR will spend as much time in the service dept just like the G35, 350Z, QX56 and every other P.O.S. Nissan puts together

at least the F has Toyota's name behind it... and will more than likely be something that will perform and is built well, so you can enjoy it on the road and not constantly be in a loaner cause your ISF is Fk-in up yet again

I sold my G35 coupe with only 14K on the clock ...after 14K miles..and going to the service dept at least 9 times...for different crap...from window motors going out on you, radio conking out, rack and pinion assembly crapping out, clicking rear axles...and countless other owners that I knew...going trough the same things...along with the 350Z's and Altimas...etc etc

trust that the GTR will be a performing, fast stupid problem riddin POS like every other Nissan build after the almost bankruptcy come-back

Acutally, there will only be 50 made and they will all come like this one..

Even the MSRP sticker will be the same...
(unless you add an extra Port Installed Option)
