thanks for the compliments.

did more driving today. car feels better and better. more than anything, i love the stability and composure.

also, i ran into an r33 gt here in atlanta as well as a r35 in silver. cool people. took a bunch of pics, will post when i get the chance.

no, all of it is very easy to work and very easy to read, even at speed.

thanks i preordered the car in feb. no waiting list per se. you order at a dealer with available allocation and then wait for the car to be built and sent over. i believe new orders now are delivered early next year but i am not sure

Congrats!! That's definitely something worth waiting for! How's the visibility and driving position? Is it as easy to drive as a Touring car?

thanks the driving position is very good, i really like it. you see a lot on the road because you're not very low. it's extremely easy to drive.

having said that its a large car - especially in width. its taking me time to get used to that when doing things like parking,etc. but overall it's not too bad- and kinda comes with the territory
