Well after reading all these post and complaints and issues I am really worried now.
My car arrives soon and I am now worried as F- to say the lease and having COLD FEET due to all the issues I have been hearing... Please tell me the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY! Or should I not get it and get me a C63, or a Porsche...or is there anything else out there I can get for around $70K-$80K worth a shit anymore...

My brother and I are still enjoying it! The car now has over 4500 miles and it was awesome at a two day HPDE. Everyone at the event, whether a Porsche, Viper, Ferrari or M3 owner all wanted to see it and talk about it. The instructors were all hoping to ride with us. The two instructors we let drive it thought it was incredible!

Nothing but good things to say about the car. If I had to go back and do it again, I wouldn't change a thing, I would still buy the GT-R.

It's rather funny with the GT-R. When I'm in it, I'm given thumbs up like a rockstar. When I'm out of it, nobody notices me :( --------------------  |

If Nissan released a statement today saying all warranties on all GT-R's sold and to be sold are void, I would still keep or buy a GT-R!!!!!!

Love the car. I have tracked it for three days and no issues. Just check your fluids and oil temps and don't use LC with VDC over and over as mentioned.
Remember the car is a STREET CAR that does everything very nicely and can be taken to the track now and then for some fun. People got to stop thinking it is a pure track car. Don't beat the crap out of it and it will be good to you and provide a boat load of fun and smiles. Glad I got mine. Get your car. You won't regret it.

Buy it... You have a warranty if you stay away from launching.

I'm getting close to 5000 miles on the odometer and still grinning ear to ear about it. The only car I have ever purchased with absolutely zero buyers remorse. With all the hype leading up to its release, the GT-R could easily have let a few folks with high expecations down... i was one of those people. Somehow, it has exceeded even my very high expectations.
Here's all it will take for you to know you made the right choice... You will get up early a.m. one fine morning, make a very comfortable 2hr drive to a road course track getting a spanky 20mpg+ on the ride there. Then spend several hours having the best time you will ever have on a road course short of being in a real race car. and THEN, when it is all done, you will have another fun, comfortable drive all the way home.... all this without every switching cars. Incredible! QUOTE (rcalcaide @ Oct 16 2008, 09:08 PM) If Nissan released a statement today saying all warranties on all GT-R's sold and to be sold are void, I would still keep or buy a GT-R!!!!!! Love this friggin car!! It is a machine, a weapon!!! hehe... weapon... see teknikal's quote in my sig... -------------------- Best 1/4mile to date - 11.122 @ 126.98mph (with LC) / 11.484 @ 122.18mph (without LC)
Best VIR lap (full course) - 2:15 (est) Highest speed attained to date - 191mph  "it’s not beautiful, nor is it trying to be. It is what it is. It’s a weapon.

no question. get a GT-R.
the warranty is there to protect you. if you launch it like '20' times as that guy said, you are asking for it. you can enjoy your GT-R without launching it '20' times. btw, i never like to boast 'kill stories' or endorse 'street racing', but one morning a C63 for some reason saw my GT-R, instigated me to loose him. he didn't even have a chance. forget about the C63. -------------------- konichiwa. my name is GT-R. my nick name is Godzilla.

The good:, Really nice car, Fast, Comfortable, Handles very good. all in all you will love it of course.
The bad: As far as the Transmission, It's all in your hand , If you beat on it hard I guarantee you that you will be so disappointed with the outcome. The ugly: You will always be afraid When using LC, It can break any day & anytime. I say Go ahead & get it, Just be easy on her.

Good cars, for 70-80K
996 GT3 996 Turbo S M3 CTS-V E55 (then spend 35K at Kleemann) M5 What about a R34? I have almost started to prefer the R34 over the R35. If you wait and let the economy, take its toll on the auto industry, then these cars will soon be in the 80s. 360 997 GT3 997 TT Gallardo 550 Maranello 996 GT2 Lots of great cars out there. I really want this!!!!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks...d=p4506.c0.m245 All that said....I will still end up with a R35, even though I would rather have a R34...

Any government can through laxity let someone slip through the cracks. But a government that refuses to admit that we are at war, indeed, refuses even to name the enemy -- jihadist is a word banished from the Obama lexicon -- turns laxity into a governing philosophy."-Charles Krauthammer  |
