Travelled up to Wisconsin last week and drove a white one. My friend in Green Bay took delivery 2 weeks ago and invited me to visit, so who could say NO to that.

Met him at Beyond Redline in GB and drove an hour South to Road America at Elkhart Lake, WI and back, and he let me drive much of the homeward leg. All I can say is that the car is a BEAST and handles like it's on rails.

He mentioned that his was running a little on the rich side, but earlier in the week he still managed to run 11.7 at 118 in stock trim. Once he gets her leaned out a bit he's hoping for mid 11s at 120+. Truly a bargain supercar and much faster than anything under $100K.

my wife saw one at her restaurant here in VA. I thought she didn't know what she was looking at (she normally gets cars confused). She said she knew it was a GT-R from me playing Gran Torismo 5 Prologue. I asked her what happened when it pulled up and she said somebody was looking out the window and said look at that car. Then, she said, the WHOLE restaurant got up and went to the window with camera phones a blazen'. Yep. That'd be a GT-R alright.

... the bad part was that the guy came in to order and tried to use it to hit on my wife.

you could get a g8 instead for less than half the price of a GTR, it'll probably be more reliable too

Here you go guys. Here's one on the showroom at the local nissan dealership I do work for. In fact I bought my 8 from those guys. This one is already sold, but there was an agreement to keep it on the showroom for a few months or something like that. Sold for 10K over sticker.

Reliability? I will say Nissan wins. U're talking about Pontiac vs Nissan

Performance

GT-R + 1
G8 - 0

Cool factor

GT-R +10
G8 - 10

Saw one about 3 weeks ago here in Germantown MD. Gotta' say, front end looked sweet. back end, not so great (Which I have a suspicion you won't see for long anyway as it is blowing past you!)
Sounded phenominal too!
I will stick with my 8 though...try putting a wife, and 2 car seats in that!

There was one near my house a couple of months ago. When I was leaving my block, I looked ahead and saw a sliver gt-r parked in front of my neighbor's house. I just sat there and stared at it with my jaw dropped lol. He owns a nissan dealership, so that pretty much how he got his hands on one. And now i hate him for it
