Thanks
I have been wanting an AWD sports car for the longest time, it was an itch I had to scratch
The 2017s are styled interior and exterior a bit different, I like the 2015 better, less busy.
I am not sure about the older interiors.
I do know this interior was a $4000 option

It is a much different feel than the instant V8 power

Good luck with the GTR, a very nice car indeed. I had a 2012 and a 2015. I had the HKS titanium exhaust on mine and sounded great. I end up trading it in for AMG GTS, but traded that and now a ZO6. A few more cars and trucks before the Z.
Keep up with the alignment.
Oil change was crazy of 230 dollars.
You'll hear a lot of mechanical sound like something is breaking when backing up, but normal.

I am going to try to stay bone stock, my buddy has an extra Kline exhaust, but I am going to try to resist.

Congrats.
After the 911 Turbo, I think the GTR is arguably the best 4 season daily driver you can buy.
Good luck with it.
With that said, I think anyone who is paying near $100k for the identical GTR that was selling for $68k in 2010 is out of their mind. Not to mention, the GTR reliability has not been great, and Nissan and their dealers are absolutely scumbags for the way they routinely screw their customers with warranty and failures.
Unfortunately, GM refuses to compete with the rest of the world and offer a modern drivetrain with turbos, DCT, and AWD. Especially when most of us have to deal with cold and wet roads.
GM forced you to buy an import. ( and an ugly one at that)
GM should be ashamed.

Congrats! That's one hell of a ride
But am i the only one here who thinks the interior is pretty ho-hum? Kind of looks like the inside of a porsche.
