My girlfriend wants to buy one, which means that my job is to make her want the 6spd manual version...which has nothing to do with the fact that I want to flog it around Sears Point.
As someone who is involved in motorsports, I drive most non-exotic cars that come out, most of which are modified for racing. Having driven modified GT-Rs, I stand by my informed opinion. I didn't make any comment on the GT-R's performance or capabilities. I merely feel it is a sterile...
I understand where you're coming from. My lady is planning to buy a GT-S. We're both F1 diehards, and we can't stand seeing the safety car too many more times, without owning one. :o
I wondered the same thing, about the R wheels, when I saw that image. I'm still assuming Ford will keep any parts orders for the R wheels restricted to owners of an R. I hope I'm wrong, though. I'd love a set with some slicks, for track days.
