First let me say CONGRATS !!! Very cool buddy. Many happy miles to you and Godzilla !!
I am also looking at the GTR as my next beast ( if not the RCF). I was shopping for the GTR when I bought my ISF. I had an LS460 on 22's before so when I test drove the GTR from the LS it just seemed WAY too noisy and bumpy. Now that I am used to the bumpy ride in the ISF I think I can get used to the beast from the east. Still was the noisiest car I have ever driven ( also the fastest ). My wife was surprised that I went with the F and not the GTR, especially since she gave me her blessing to go out and buy the monster.

Thanks everyone I wish I never liked cars lol daym money pits!!
I am not 100% sure what the plans are for the GTR yet but probably for now just enjoy it as is and if the mod bug bites (which it usually does) I will take it from there.
I think I am going to take the F to car max tomorrow see what they will give me for it. Hopefully more than the Nissan dealer was offering

Congrats Murph! I did the same thing and honestly still not loving the GTR. Do a Cobb/Ecutek and at least a mipipe. The stock exhaust note is just way to quiet... sounds like a washing machine. With a resonated midpipe the car is perfect as far as i'm concerned in terms of DD duty/no drone and actually sounding like a 100k sports car should.
That being said... meh. I want an ISF again. Only cool part of the GTR is the thumbs up you get everytime you drive the car.

the GTR is the weekend canyon cruiser. I have a new dodge ram hemi quad cab that honestly is almost more luxurious than my F haha has heated cooled seats heated steering wheel, sun roof power rear window leather seats and its a truck!
The GTR seems very bogish when you drive it slow very clunky and machine sounding in a way. But that acceleration from first two second is just insane. I think making the GTR sound better is my first goal. I want it to sound like you said a $100K car

great choice. I love Godzilla. Have since before they hit the states . I was going to buy a used one but decided on the F because the ride in the GTR tripped me out after 3 yrs with an LS460. Now that im used to the harsh ride in the ISF, I think I could handle the noise and harshness of the GTR

so i told them what another dealership was willing to offer and we went back and forth for a little while and they came back and matched the other offer I had for a 2015 premium. The black edition only has some interior red leather, different wheels and carbon spoiler. I am going to get the carbon spoiler and I am going to get a set of custom ADV's so the black edition rims were pointless to me.
