So who want's a NEW GTR?

[Todd Smiley]

I'm guessing someone is going to be in a lot of trouble.

Guys, I found this thread on the other GTR forum and wanted to let you guys know! I hope this is not really happening!!


"Dealers drag racing new GT-R's @ Great Lakes Dragaway Took these photos at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI on Sunday. Some guys rolled in with these GT-R's with Dealer plates and decided to drag them over and over and over. Interested differences in trap speeds and 1/4 mile times though. Definately not pro's as they had to be reminded over and over to wear a helmet.



If I were you, I would not buy these. Wish I was able to get VIN #'s.

One of my techs just got back from a special Nissan training GTR deal. Here are some interesting Facts.
-Can only launch the car 15 times before the transmission gives out. The most Nissan has got was 34 launches.
-The fluid lists at 80 dollars a quart. It costs dealerships 49.99 a quart. The car takes 10 quarts.
-The warranty depends on the driving, there is a black box in it just like an airplane.
-Customers have to sign a waiver stating they will not complain about brake or transmission noise.
-The brakes MUST be replaced at the same time, cost for replacing 6500.
-If something goes wrong other than an oil change at the dealership, a special team needs to be called and your outta a car for a while.

So yea. Sounds promising. Sounds fast, for a couple of months

So, you could get a 'Vette ZR1 that runs 11.3 sec quarter mile, and a lot less maintenance hassle!

in california they are adding 20,000 markup over the sticker price. My buddie is looking to sell his 1100 hp supra and 2jz converted sc300 to buy a GTR. Very nice car all around but at $90,000 you wont see me in one anytime soon. THat stuff is outrageous for the maintenance

IMHO I'd rather have the money it cost to buy it, buy a corvette, viper, or another stang, and take the money I'd have left over and party like its 1999. Thats just me though. I'm not feeling the look of the car either.

I hope those two guys lose their jobs!

Someone is going to buy those cars, most likely have problems very soon and not know why.
