dealer mark-up ftl...

from reading all the articles on GTR, the writers/drivers rave about the great performance at such a low price...way to screw that up dealerships

then it became a "normal" car on the road. lol...

I hope that's the case for this one. It being a limited production, I don't know how soon this hype will slow down. May be it would be like Zo6. Limited production, but now without hype = no rediculous markups. I want to get one, but I'm not about to pay 10-20K over MSRP.

Did you hit the NAWWWWZ to catch up to the GTR or something? That photo looks pretty wavy.

The GTR was clearly moving at plaid, whereas the subaru appears to be doing lightspeed...could account for the wavy photo.

It was left hand drive and was the 2009 Skyline GTR and looks great in person.

The pic was taken at 85mph so it was not light speed by any means but the damn iphone camera is pretty slow to begin with.

No NAWWWZZZ its called warp speed... suby Jedi tactics

That GTR was probably headed to the Nissan Corporate building over in Pleasanton. Maybe they have more over there...

I saw one a couple months ago on the way to Reno. I knew it was the GTR I saw but I was trying to convince myself that I was just seeing things because I didn't think they were available to anyone yet.

About a month ago a GT-R came to the race track. Even with a shady launch still managed to hit 11s. Thats a crazy car. The funny thing is if you wanted to look at it you could always find it because thats where all of the people were. At any point in time there was always like 20 people with their cell phones snapping away.
