Oh another thing, this car is not for the discreet. If you enjoy the Hollywood lifestyle, or at least aspire to it, then this is the quickest way of buying into fame. Everyone stares – give this car a few more months exposure and it’ll be monumental. In white, you’re the messiah, returned. With a Mr T haircut.

great write up sounds awesome

, just affirming all my aspirations so thank you, can't wait for Geneva and then the arrival of my Spec V edition

Cem - the big question is........is there enough space to live in one ? lol As the only way I'm getting my hands on one is to sell my house and live in it !

MacGTR · 25th February 2008, 09:15 PM

Awesome write up, I think this car has exceeded the hype.

Nice write up Cem.
Still waiting for my turn Benny.

Has anyone that's driven it commented on the gearshift paddles being fixed to the column and not moving as you turn the wheel?
My S4 and a couple of other cars I've noticed have the paddles mounted on the back of the wheel.

Thanx for the write up Cem.

Now I need to get my hand's on one for a test drive. I guess it will be a wait though.

Great write up, thanx for the pics!

matty32 · 25th February 2008, 10:10 PM

sounds great!

Nice write up, nice cars, nice house

One picture I found interesting

bit like a big girl standing next to a slim girl in that one, I don't think white does it any favours, nor being next to a 911, but it has a big fat bum.

I think black would slim it down though.

All in all though a very tempting car, only way to make it better would be to stick an AMG 6.2 V8 in it for the sound (biased here), but even so it looks like they have hit all the nails on the head.

One bad thing is Nissan UK's silly release schedule and legal rumblings. They must be making a fair whack on each one so how come we get put back behind the USA?

Very nice write up - I really like your writing style :-) nice and fluid, easy to read...

If you don't mind my asking, what type of wheels are those on your GT3? (brand, size etc)

The standard wheels that come with the car painted black.

Excellent writeup, better than all the rubbish i've seen written in mags so far. At last someone understands that one car isn't better than another because it does it 0.0001 of a second faster round a track, keep up the excellent work

Was driving it like a pussy in heavy traffic the first time I was in it.

Great write up and happy you liked it, keeps us hoping you keep this great site alive for some years now. and don`t turn the back to other forums.

The greatest advantage of being a GTR-Fanboy is , that I allready know it will be a great car before it was released . . .

Good review!

Very good writeup, and two nice cars sat together, how did the interior compare to the GT3?, as they are very nice inside?
