its gorgeous in person, and for 70k you cant go wrong for what you get.



what i didnt like was the girl presenting it. she just regurgitated information she read. it didnt seem natural, and i guarantee she had no idea what she was talking about. i would have rather had a enthusiastic guy up there whos just as giddy as i am that the new gtr can go 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, and does the quarter mile in 11 secs. out of the box.
 
yeah i pretty much couldnt stop staring at it. its quite a piece of work.



my friend and i were sitting in the charger srt8 talking about why it doesnt come with manual, and this dad and his kids walk up and look under the hood.



"whoa its got a hemi"

"omg a hemi!

dad: "this would smoke that gtr off the line"



my friend and i looked at each other, shook our heads and got out of the car and just walked away...

It really is amazing how little some people know.



Even though I am far from knowing it all, I have found I can't talk cars to most strangers because most of them think they know what they are talking about and have no idea.
 
Honestly, I like the car better from those pics than anything I have seen in Motor Trend or the other mags. I wonder how the fit and finish on that thing is going to be for 70K. Also, why aren't they marketing it under the Infiniti nameplate?
 
Saw the car in person at the local auto show a few weeks back. It looks WAY better in person than it does in pictures.

I agree. Saw it yesterday @ the Indy Auto Show. Great combination of aggressiveness, swoopyness (is that a word?) and sex appeal. Looks fast just sitting still w/o being overdone like a lot of sportscars. Reminds me a lot of an ALMS car.
 
I was going to buy one (seriously) until I found out it only came with an SMG. Now I am thinking Z06 instead...

LOL, The Chicago Trib did an article that stated that 90 percent of American's are not entitled to their own opinions..



It reminds of me of the typical Harely owner telling me his bike could take my CBR off the line... Ummm nope, not even close.
