It all depends on how you finance, how much you put down, and what you can afford monthly.

So, yeah, I imagine someone that makes $200k could pretty easily afford a GT-R. In fact, I bet someone making as "little" as $130k a year could afford a GT-R.
Remember this is household income of 200k, so that's 2 people @ 100k each essentially. A 100k salary and a 100k car is a whole, whole lot unless you live in an extremely cheap city or town.
