Now that's fast! I absolutely love GTRs.

GTR is on my "when I win the lottery" list.

Those cars were pretty incredible to watch at the shootout. One even killed a seagull through the traps.

Why are they so fast? They're trying to out run the ugly.

Juke-R....proof that the GTR could have been uglier

I think they are flat out sexy. Of course my favorite sexy woman is Tina Fey so I may have a problem.

I love the GTR. But what does it say about me that I'd rather own it's Chevrolet "competition" in the 'Vette?

The Nissan is a wonder of technology however. And anything you can drive to the track and run a sub-9 second 1/4... Amazing!

I'd love one to haul the kids around in. Just need to add one more zero to the end of the retirement account. Not sure they'll still be available by then, or that I'll need to haul kids anywhere. It's always like that with dream cars I suppose.

So, clearly this car is not stock...but even stock they are an incredible car. So why can't Nissan spread some of this awesome sauce around the rest of their lineup? The 370Z is cool, but is sort of like a baby Godzilla. The rest of the lineup? blechhhh! They used to be my favorite "import" brand. What happened?

I saw that also but did not know it actually hit it. I also think they are not very attractive but have a nice ass. I would like a black one to hide the ugliness.

I think most of the cars running in the low/mid 10's at the shootout were bolt-on/tune cars, too. Pretty insane performance from them. My buddy that's not really into imports too much(but has a '91 Talon TSi AWD), was there running his/dad's said Talon(12.4's @ 124mph, having issues in 3rd/4th) was dropjawed at their performance.

I used to talk to Shep pretty regularly when he'd be in town at a local shop doing transmission exchanges(10 or so years ago), but I haven't really talked to him in about 5-6 years since I moved. Good guy, pretty hilarious, I used to tease him about his mullet picture in his house. Scared the crap out of me about 8 years back when he took me for a ride in his Evo.

I really want this drive train in their van. Screw the Juke-R. I wan a NV-GTR.

You have really bad taste and poor judgement.
