You need to buy a go pro camera so you can start getting these races on video!

On paper just considering power to weight, this should be a very fair fight. Then you factor in the GTR's lightning shifts and short gearing and you get said result.

Still rare to see GTR's. I live in one of the richest area's of LA county and rarely see them. I'm much more likely to see a Rolls/Ferrari/Lambo/911 Turbo. Especially the latter; 911 Turbo's are like Camry's in PV.

Very rare, 83. I've seen one in the past 3 years. Like you, I see more (still very few) lambos, R8s, 911s, etc. Not sure why they are so scarce.

they are more common here in the detroit area for some reason, I've seen about 7 since they have come out

I don't understand why, they are a great bang for buck... even though I was skeptical of them when they first came out, after seeing their track results I really cannot hate on them that much

Kind of interesting you say that. My brother-in-law has a buddy with a GTR that I told him needs to race me some time. I have also seen probably 6-7 GTR's within the last year. I work in a relatively rich part of town though so I actually see high end cars probably way more then I would otherwise.

Around here there are a few GTRs the only cars i might see more are Ferraris and/or R8's, Porsche yeah but not 911's. Hell we have a GTR and the new Alfa and an R8 that go to my school meets

Ya I've probably seen about ten or so over the past few years. But like I said, its rare when there isn't a Ferrari/Lambo/Rolls/911 Turbo in the parking lot at grocery store down the street.

I think the reason you don't see them much is because it appeals to a younger generation who cannot afford it. At that price, a 40+ year old is probably more interested in a Z06/911/M6/M5/E63/RS5 etc.

Yeah, unless a dude is loaded and has a collection, they must be a Nissan gearhead if they purchase a GT-R over all the other cars available at that price range.......(and hope they don't void the warranty )
