I shouldn't take all the credit for detailing though. Here is my "detail crew" of helpers. My two sons and a friend. Mostly busy cracking jokes and talking while Dad put in the real "elbow grease"!

The GTR is for all of us to enjoy too so the boys were really happy.

Beautiful car. That is a super car for sure. Beautiful color. What color does Nissan call that? It really dresses it up. And those wheels are BOSS!

Darrin, the color is Gun Metallic. The wheels are 20" made by "Rays". What's behind the wheels is even more impressive for a car in this price range. Brembo brakes with 15.4" front and 15" rear, two piece floating rotors and 6-piston front/4-piston rear calipers.

Very nice Serge. Interesting how this car has evolved. It's clearly a "rocket". Be safe and enjoy!

Yep, they are rather hard to get. Funny enough, my local Ferrari dealer sells many more new Ferrari models than any Nissan dealer sells GTRs.

Beautiful car and I agree with your assessment that it's a great value. As much as I love Porsches (I had a 2006 Carrera 4 that I should have kept), the sticker prices of the new 911s are becoming hard to stomach.....Congratulations on your purchase.
