I agree feel is subjective, will keep an open mind towards the GTR.

By the way I have been told the F458 feels amazing(My Sales Consultent) and puts the Scud to shame.

Hope to feel if it is true by June.

Best 60-130 in 1/4 mile testing was a 3.76 and best 100-150 was a 3.71...

I am sure that Scott will be setting some new numbers for us shortly.

I found that the GT-R doesn't handle as precise as the F430 did (steering felt awesome in the F430). But what I prefer about the GT-R, is I can get 'on it' anywhere I want to, without having to stress about my conditions.

So I think the thrill is knowing that I don't have to worry too much. I actually look forward to the occasional rain at a track day (not all the time). I don't care if it's raining, snowing, sleeting, or frozen ice (a few weeks ago in NC), I can still get to work (on my Summer tires).

Jalopnik took the P800 out to the track on snow and ice, and ran times that would get the pole for NASA's American Iron.

Thanks, David. The thought of your GT2 along with this GT-R....

Talk about a dream garage. If you wait until next year to sell her, I may just be a buyer.

KW V3 suspension. Volk 18" wheels for the strip. Still deciding on which blingy 21's to go with for the street.

The R1K is listed on the official 60-130 list @ 3.85...did the 3.76 run get turned in?...

O ya I'm sure Scott will make it his mission to best those #'s!
