three things stopped me niether of which were perfromance.

1. looks (misses me) just too new school some day I do like them though others I am unsure.
2. absolutly hate the sound of a 6cyl and will never like it.
3. cost of repair/ownership was a concern. 35k engine new, 20k+ tranny new. just because I can affoard the used car does not men I want to pay to fix it.

perfromance wise they can't be denied though even these first run car are solid 11 second cars and tens are easy. anybody who talks bad about a GTR in terms of perfomance is just retarded. they throw it down.
To be honest at first i was concerned about cost of ownership but i thought about it and in a short time i spent a good amount on the ZL1 and the results werent as great as i thought it would be. For the same amount i put into the ZL1 i can get a low 10's GTR and street monster.

and for those who love to hate:
