for everyone that thinks you cannot DD a gtr, i know a few that do including myself. depends on how far your gtr is upgraded... of course if your gtr is beyond 600whp taking nothing but e85 gas, most do not..... with full bolt ons, and still using 91/93 gas, few do... tranny probs arent that bad, only a few had them from the earlier years... my tranny had been replaced before under warranty

Not terrible. About on par with 2010 ride but a lot louder inside and more road noise. You can certainly DD one but its a different experience.

very stiff and noisy, but its a monster. I almost bought a 2010 ,but after 3 years in an LS it scared me with the ride and the noise. I decided to work my way up, but when I trade the ISF I am going either GTR or Panamera depending on the size of the kids when I want another car

more road noise from the run flat wheels if theyre stock... other than that if you have stock setup, its like the isf... but the car is much more jerky

A GTR or Panamera GTS is where I have my sights set to next as well. Congratulations!

Beautiful car, my brother made the swap also. I really liked the GTR, it's definitely a lot more noisy inside. It feels very raw, from the transmission sounds to the floating rotors, but it's a sports car that can be driven daily. Beautiful choice, I hope to make the same transition as well in the coming years. Enjoy it in good health!

Have to say id be more tempted by a 911 or db9. Not a fan of the lack of comfort of the GTR.
