I saw this one too about a week ago. It was way better in person. I saw another one in dealership showroom and it was black too. The car is huge and beautiful. Sorry for the terrible picture.

But I like this one better.

its amazing how utterly HUGE the r35 is, nothing about it is small. i went to the stillen show a few months ago where they had 2. The wheels are huge to house the biggest brakes i have ever seen. The down side is when you have a car that large you actually need the brakes that big to slow its fat *** down.

Sweet! NC GT-R! I need to stop by the Nissan dealer and see the GT-R in person next time I'm in Raleigh or Charlotte. My buddy that saw one in Raleigh said it's huge...a lot bigger then he thought it would be.

ok bear with me here.... and imagine this, the R35 hood makes the engine bay so airtight that it restricts the airflow enough that when the a R35 was dynoed (ill scan the magazine article soon for the non-believers) without a hood, it gained 40 HP!. seriously, the guys at Nissan are too good at what they do sometimes!

I saw one at Hyperfest in like June. Now a guy that owns a car dealership down the street from me has one. He had a 09 challenger but i guess he traded it. Good choice haha It looks good in white with those big gold brake calipers

See them all the time round here, rich people.... They sound great and look awesome in person. I actually got to see a white one in May at a mini NICO fest.I got up close and snapped some interior pics and everything. They weren't even out yet in the US hence the rhd. Didn't make much sense though cause it was coming out it a few months (us spec).

Whatever. Those things are sweet!

I think you might have seen one from COBB Racing. They imported one for R&D purpose.

This is 3rd GTR that I've seen in person. I don't like it that much somehow.

Im here at SEMA and after driving the new gtr and being able to compare apples to apples the new GTR has severly dissapointed me. The interior feels cheap and the seats in the US version are for Fat Americans and dont support for crap. The steering wheel feels oversized and cheap and the paddle shifters feel as though they would break if I was ever to track it and get a little excited and shift a little to hard. Last but not least twin clutch cars are simply not tuneable. They do not handle much to power increases.

But its nice to know Nissan finally brought us a GTR. Too bad it wasnt like the purer R34 or R33. This is too quazy bmw like for me. Ill stick to my c6 z06 and our 240's as my track daily beaters.

Saw 350Z Nismo Edition and I'll just post here instead of creating new thread. Most of all, I found one interesting part on it. I think it's really cool. I've seen 2 red and 1 white in person. White one looked so sweet. Some people say rear bumper is over done, but I like it a lot.

I'm kind of jealous of s14.5gonewide. It is my goal in life to have an R32 GTR and an R34 GTR, and an RB25, in my vert.
