yeah its pretty much an amazing car. I do have a issue with it not being fully awesome unless the gps see's you on a track..which idk if thats in the US as well but I think that could easily be fixed with a hack :Dhow can you go wrong with a 80k super car, tt v6, awd and hand build engine/tranny.

i don't know, Ryan's GTR ran 11.95 @ 121 mph on the 1320' his first time in 10 yrs to the drag strip. that's completely stock. it also kills anyone in autox or whatever other event he's gone on. Car is amazing.

If it wern't for the "glass jaw" tranny, it really would be a perfect car.. Fit 4 people - checkRoom in trunk for things other than a single suitcase - checkWorld class performance - checkAmong all the other things.. again, it's no suprise to me..

The new year GTR has the traction control switch removed. You can't switch it off now.

Maybe if you removed his head (no, NOT like Lorena Bobbit!) and lower legs! I'm 6'3" so I can relate. Last car I tried to squeeze into was the the previous generation Eclipse that has a similar roof line. Should be rated a 2+2 for seating arrangement. 2 Adults + 2 small kids.well, we drooled on the GTR tonight at our friend's place. Checking out his new 60" plasma and sound system. Very nice indeed. then back over to our place to watch the Tokyo Motor show DVD I bought and some Colin McCrae rally vids. fun times. still the GTR is amazing. if you haven't had the privilege to ride in one going sideways up and down a snowy mountain or around an autox, watch it run 11 sec in a 1/4 mile stock, you just can't truly appreciate this car. just awesome!

and though not his fastest time (i was slacking on camera duty), certainly a time I'd love to run in my own car!And at an autox event in September... freaking fast!

I had a feeling I was in for a double-whammy....lol....

well, you're really gonna hate me now, because as of today, my buddy Ryan will be allowing me to co-drive his GTR at one of the autox events for 09 season. :Dwhy? because he took out both my fog lights and busted my front bumper on the STI.
