I would never own one. They are only automatics and its basically a computer. It does everything for you. It has a lunch setting and wil launch the car for you. All you have to do is mash the throttle. What fun is it to drive a car that drives itself. I do think it looks nice tho.

I would love to have a day with one of those things, I give myself a 50% chance of making it through the day alive though, lol.

Well f0x you are both kind-of right. The GT-R Skyline (R32, R33, R34) was an all-wheel-drive Skyline with the same RB26DETT engine. The new one is just a GT-R but they only come in AWD, so....

That sucks for him if anything breaks. The GT-R's are the first set of performance vehicles with the tattletale boxes in them.

oh id love a nice one of those!! They are fast as hell even with the speed limiter (if the japan and euro ones are the same as the US ones that is. or ausie ones for that matter) and I do believe that you can get them as manuals but i could be wrong. thats one af about 6 cars id own as an auto too. just to sexy to pass up

No you cannot get them in a manual. There are a lot of other cars I would own before I owned a gtr. Its def a fast very well made car, but its a computer. It takes all the fun out of having a fast car. For the same price you could get a Viper, zr-1, Gt500, or even some lower end super cars.

I heard a lot of things bout how you can only launch the car 10 times and the tranny will be destoryed and will cost a ton of money to fix...
