Driving down Pennsylvania in Cudahy I had this silver odd looking car pass me, personally I thought " What a ugly ******* body kit on that Celica "

Then I got behind it to turn and I see dual exhaust and circular LED tail lights, holly shit its a GTR :stare driving in the snow with 1,000 other bad drivers just waiting to peg you and total your car out.

I called my bro to confirm the rough price on these then told him I'm driving behind one, personally I think they looks pretty cool. They remind me of the newer design cadillacs are going for. Sharpe edges and larger tails lights, I must say the Front of the GTR looks badass but the rest is pretty good like I said.

Are these rare in the states or even on the market officially ? I'm not into them so I have no clue about any release date or sticker price.

Damn thats worse than drag racing the thing with plastic on the seats and the launch control ON, driving a car in a Wisconsin winter that is. For sale all over the place just open up the wallet.

Cool sighting.

I suppose they are pretty, but not something I'd ever get worked up about. I think I have seen those....but I could be wrong, it may have been a totally different type with a similar-looking body, for all I know. The one I saw was red.

I can back up HITMAN on this, its true. Although is its the newest car in his stable, it will be used as a daily driver year round. :drool:

theres a red one in pewaukee

he was at road america for an event at the end of october, sharp looking car.

On a side note, Ive been hearing some horror stories as far as maintenance costs go.
a. traction control off = instant voided warranty
b. tranny flush = $2000

read up better here if you'd like...

Loaded, no, comfortable income, yes. He's a physician (internist) and he's single (never married, too smart for that nonsense :thumbsup), no kids. The lack of financial responsibility + a nice income helps one afford cool toys.

Yep mine :)
Why drive it in winter? Why NOT?!?

It's AWD, it came with the "Winter Package" straight from Nissan, who advertise it as the "Any Time, Any Season Supercar".
It cost me alot of dough and I AM going to get my FULL money's worth out of that car, not sit it like a Princess in a heated garage til June, when it graces me with 4 months of allowing me to drive it. I get a perverse enjoyment out of hearing people's surprise about winter driving it, and making that car earn its place in my stable, just like my other vehicles had to in their times...it is almost as fun as my VR4's were in the snow.

Besides, my Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 is way (way) faster and my TA is too, though that needs motor redo...maybe someday.

I've seen this guy at the track and I've seen his name on the TOP 50 list, but this is the FIRST time in over 3 years on this site I've seen him post haha.

Sweet VR4 and I think it's great that the GTR your winter beater

I still wish my cars could sit like Princesses in a heated garage, instead of toughing out the winters outside........
