And people complain about domestic fit and finish. :wink
When I initially drove by one of the vendor show booths, I could hear one of the detailing vendors mutter to his colleagues..."If I spent half the money that guy spent on his car [referring to my GT], my car would be twice as fast."
This is exactly why I don't like taking our vehicles to car shows. Too many people think they are the "expert" and don't appreciate the car itself. It is always a comparison between your car and what they would do differently or how much faster their car is/could be.
I used to take my girlfriend to truck shows all the time when I had my pre-runner. It was a 2005 Nissan Titan (yea yea, jap crap...sorry haha) I had a customer suspension on it with about 16 inches of wheel travel. One of our supercharger kits that put out over 420HP at the wheels, a one-off custom paint job, custom interior with 4 racing seats and hand built wood/fiberglass center console housing speakers and TV's. Well, when we parked at the show the first thing I would do is tell my girlfriend (5'6", blonde hair, amazing body) a few things about the truck. There was nothing funnier than watching a bunch of guys come up and stare at the truck then seeing their reaction when a Jessica Simpson look a like came up and spouted off about the suspension, supercharger, paint, etc...Just like she's the one that built it. my buddies and I would get a huge kick out of watching that.
I have had the oppurtunity to drive the GT-R and we have one at our shop right now. I think it is a great car and I really like it. I agree with everyone else though that it definitely is not as attractive as the R35 Skyline's. Those cars looked incredibly tough.
