Having owned a GTR before, I do love these cars. But $152K is too much IMO. You could get a regular version, toss in $10k in upgrades and be well quicker than the NISMO.

I was wondering about that, definitely seems like a big jump in price for smaller jump in numbers.

It's a bad *** car but two things stand out. Obviously that price. I'd much rather have a 991 turbo even if it isn't the S model. Also the trap speed, 125mph? c6 Z06 from 2006 were doing that. Where is this extra 60 horsepower? The regular 2014 GTR trapped about 125mph also.

My thoughts exactly

The car is all hole shot and traction.

For the money they want the car should be trapping 130 plus

7:08 on the Ring is not too shabby. Very fast car.

Love the performance but not the looks or the weight.
