Crappy rainy pic, but you can see kind of how big that thing is. haha.

It is a very quick car for sure, you have to be careful. I was pretty happy with the performance of the GT-R, I drove to the track, hour drive, pump gas and ran a 11.2 no problem. Then drove home. All right off the show room floor, will be nice to try the Launch Control soon and see if it breaks into the 10's.

I really liked my 2012 Camaro. And it was fast. Wish I had tracked the car before I sold it, but oh well, maybe another one soon!

I'm with you. I'm happy with it so far as well. The power delivery is so different between the two.

Yes, don't hesitate!! I used to not care about fast cars and big houses. Then I woke up one day and drove out to where I live now, saw these huge ass houses with Ferrari's in the garage and said....screw it. I need to live like that. haha. Now I'm screwed because I can't go back now.

Car is sick. I would definitely take one over my Z.

Congrats on the car.

Nice car and house! I feel like the whole "American Dream" just gave me the middle finger.

You are in Houston? Send me a message. I have a few military folks working for me. I'll get you in my industry and help you build your business. That's what I do for a living. If interested of course.

You have a LOT to be thankful for. The percentage of people in the US that can afford a $120K car is very small.

What other people think of your decision is meaningless. You have the opportunity to experience some different cars - so enjoy each one to its fullest.

Good idea to do just a few mods.

I seen this kid going faster and faster at our track every couple of weeks in his GTR. 9.70's at 140 or so if I remember correctly.

Then boom mosquito fogging time on a Friday night and I haven't seen him since then.

BTW great car glad your happy with it.
