Default test drove 2010 GTR / deposit on 2011 GTR

Hey everyone, as some of you know I have moved on from the IS-F, although I have loved it the day I bought it, but its time to upgrade .

Today I went to Atlantic Nissan, where I was greeted by some sales rep and then went to talk to the GM, we have spoke before about me ordering the 2011 GTR, since they are finally starting production on them, only 315 will be made. So he was like "have you driven the car yet?" and I said "NO, I was supposed to last time at another dealership, but it had started to rain", so then he disappeared and and 2 minutes later a black GTR pulls up in the front, he honks and says get in.

As soon as I sat in that drivers seat, I felt I was one with the car, omg it was a bit tight but the power of the car just overpowered my tightness of the seats. As we circled the first time of the highway, hes like we will check for cops and what not. As we pulled around our second time, hes like well...no cops go for it. I floored it shifting through the gears, by the time I knew it I was at 130,hes looks at me and smiles. He knows I was sold as soon as I hit that 130 mark. At first I thought I was only going like 60mph, because the speedometer is marked so high at 220, the 100 mark would be where our 40 or 60 mark lol.

So as soon as we came back to the dealership, I was like im putting a deposit on the first to order the 2011 GTR, from all the information I have been finding out I went today, because this was the first couple days orders were starting to be aloud to be taken by dealerships, but they may not be able to get it, but this dealership has sold the most in all of NY so they have the most chance of getting it. He will contact me within a couple of days to let me know the final information about when they are coming in, and if I like the price I will drop a larger deposit, and I will be the first to have a 2011 GTR in new york/long island.

If you ever get a chance to drive one its a really a supercar. just wanted to let you guys know.
