I had my buddies GTR (2013) model for a weekend while we helped him install the Valentine1 and some stereo upgrades.

So after a full weekend with the car, I got a bit of real world feel and amazingly this Nissan does not feel like a Nissan. Inside it's quite luxurious for sports car standards and the ergonomics was very well laid out. It didn't take me long to figure out how to operate the radio, climate control and on-board computer.

Just driving the car gets you stares no matter how slow or fast you are going. It's a beast that says don't mess with me and gets respect from even the usual ricers who don't dare challenge the car in a street race which is kind of nice.

Gas mileage isn't too great but for packing 540+ hp this car sure does sound sedate. On the road the car feels BIG and rides much higher than the NSX or other exotics.

From the back end, it just has the presence of a muscle car and very unique. I think in pictures like what PUREVIL posted, from the front end, it "could" be mistaken for a G37

[QUOTE="EuroBoutique, post: 1616733, member: 8868"] I had my buddies GTR (2013) model for a weekend while we helped him install the Valentine1 and some stereo upgrades. So after a full weekend with the car, I got a bit of real world feel and amazingly this Nissan does not feel like a Nissan. Inside it's quite luxurious for sports car standards and the ergonomics was very well laid out. It didn't take me long to figure out how to operate the radio, climate control and on-board computer. Just driving the car gets you stares no matter how slow or fast you are going. It's a beast that says don't mess with me and gets respect from even the usual ricers who don't dare challenge the car in a street race which is kind of nice. Gas mileage isn't too great but for packing 540+ hp this car sure does sound sedate. On the road the car feels BIG and rides much higher than the NSX or other exotics. From the back end, it just has the presence of a muscle car and very unique. I think in pictures like what PUREVIL posted, from the front end, it "could" be mistaken for a G37 :) [/QUOTE]
