Looks like the long arm of the law came sweeping through here.
 
Also looks like you've got that all correct, thene. Based on what I've read as well, all you said is accurate. The point has been brought up a number of times, but people are voicing concern over the difference in weight between the Turbo and GT-R. I believe that the GT-R is 300lbs heavier. Thought pattern is that will make the vehicle seem less manageable.

i wish i could TEST DRIVE the GT-R so i could provide some feedback on that particular issue (weight vs. managability), however i highly doubt that i'll get that opportunity anytime soon.
 
i can only base what i know on what i read, and there seems to be a large majority that indicate that the weight does not affect the handling as much as some people would think...
 
who knows! im just bored at work and feel that the GT-R is far more interesting than anything going on here

i wouldn't doubt it - im guessing the people who have the money to buy one will get one, drive it a bit, and then trade it in for another toy.
 
i may have to save my pennies for a used one in a couple of years...it would be perfect as a sports car in the wonderfully snowy northeast!
 
if you get a chance to drive it moo - please let us know what you think!
 
im excited because im going to NYIAS in march and i'll just get to see it in person, which i can't wait for! that and the new maxima, and the cube...
 
cars are great!
