Gee, you people really do your research research, don't you? Nissan can't supply more cars because the engines and the transmission are hand built which limits their production to only a thousand a month. If you want the shell alone, you can get it right away. You people wouldn't be complaining if this was a Porche with twice the pricetag and they told you that you would recieve it by the year 2010.

Also on a world level, the GT-R is at least on par if not far past that of the Vette. The previous generation GT-Rs were/are highly sought after vehicles.
 
On a side note, I was in an R8 over the weekend at Pocono Raceway at our NASA Northeast HPDE and the car is fairly amazing, and I'm not an Audi fan at all.

i would really love to get a hold of one of this beauties, but i heard that to replace the breaks is going to cost $6,000 dollars since you will have to replace all discs, and if you have a problems with a tire you will have to replace all tires d/t computerized traction

Any AWD car needs the tires to be replaced in sets of 4 due to the AWD system.
 
Rotors should be replaced in pairs on all cars.
 
I'm not sure the rotors will cost $5000 but they might cost $1000 for rotors and pads on the GTR, not uncommon for a near super-car.

$1000 for rotors and pads? Not uncommon for a 10 year old BMW 3-series. In fact, that would be cheap. And you have to replace the rotors every time you replace the pads.

Not sure which 10 year old 3-series you are talking about, but a quick online check shows parts price for 98 328 in the range of $400, give or take a few. My 2003 M5 does cost somewhere around $1200 or so. Also, for anyone who does not use dealer for service, rotors will easily last 2 sets of pads

My ' 98 323ic was around $1300 at the dealer, a bit less than a $1000 from an independent. Call me a wuss, but I'd be a little afraid to take a hot lap in an M5 with someone who extends their rotor usage beyond BMW's recommendations.

Ok, you are a wuss.
So you are calculating labor into the equation as well, which I kind of suspected. I know we are going off topic a bit here, hopefully the moderators won't mind too much. BMW rotors are thinner (compared to other makers) to save unsprung weight, which is why BMW recommends replacing at every pad change to be on the safe side. However, as long as the rotor hasn't worn beyond halfway to minimum thickness at the first pad change, I don't see why it needs to be changed. This is not just my opinion, but many owners I come across on M5board.com or Yahoo 5-series group.
 
I just tend to not follow BMW recommendation and change when necessary, which is why I also change engine oil every 7500 miles and trans/diff oil every 30,000 against BMW recommendation.
