It's all good! Everyone here has their preferences.

As requested by some, here are the pics.

Car arrived at 10 AM today and I was late getting home from work to accept it. The transport guy already had the car in my driveway by the time I got home.

Looking good, now get a mid-pipe and a Cobb or Ecutek flash and you'll pick up another 80 -100 awhp! Plus you can upgrade to LC5 (Launch Control) with either system.

The first drive was definitely different from the ISF. The F is a refined brute. The GTR is brute all the way through. You definitely hear mechanical noises from the DCT and the drivetrain. Not intrusive but you can definitely hear it. There is an airplane like hum that increases as you go up in speed. The ride in the comfort setting even w/ the DSST tires is softer than the F. Mind you the F's ride did not bother me one bit.

Thanks Bro!

And BTW anyone looking for a cool plate name for the F here is a suggestion: IS-FUN

Always thought about it but never got around to it.

I traded my 09 GT-R in with about the same miles as yours about a year and a half ago for $64k, so I think you got a decent deal on it. My friend just sold his '10 with 15k miles for $68 and bought a '12 BE with 5k miles for $82k which was a steal! I never did a mid-pipe, but did a custom tune from Jack Cecil and was over 500awhp. Just insane. Hope you have 93 oct available as 91 will hinder what kind of tune you can get. I had to mix 101oct in mine to keep it from knocking, but the cobb flash has a nice feature to it that causes the boost gage to flash when your knocking. If you get serious, E85 is the way to go. Anyway, congrats...you're going to love that machine!
