I hate you.

I remember riding in my friend's 2015 black edition R35 before he sold it. I loved all the mechanical sounds the transmission and differentials made.

I'm surprised at the similarities between this and the R32. There is definitely DNA sharing between the R35 and the R32.

Full disclaimer: I do not own the car, but working at Nissan has its perks, and one of those perks are being able to lease a GTR for 6 months and 15k miles, so the goal is to enjoy this like a long vacation and take as many trips as possible. If you guys have any suggestions on places to go (I'm in MS) let me know!

It would be fun to take the 32 and 35 to Tail of the Dragon. I'm planning on going to Road Atlanta for Global Time Attack/Formula Drift in the beginning of May and would love to run the car on Road Atlanta.

Yes but apparently special GTR's command well over MSRP?

OP: You have a cool garage and neat addiction! Great collection for sure

Which one do you prefer to grab the keys to on a daily basis? I was never a fan of the new GTR but would kill for a R34 GTR.

That's quite a price hike on the Nismo, considering there are still new ones that you can find for 150k sans titanium exhaust.

As far as what set of keys I gravitate towards on a daily basis? That would be the R35 GTR as it's actually pretty comfortable to drive. However, if I want my hands to tremble, the R32 GTR takes it by a mile. See below:

It's sensory overload in the R32 with the addition of a titanium exhaust and timing retard on low load conditions. This makes the car into quite a flame thrower and sounds like gunshots every time I lift. The boost hit is great and revving to 7-8k rpm is always fun as well.

The R35 is mind blowing in its own right, but it lacks a bit of character and noise. Though this can (and hopefully will) be changed by getting an aftermarket exhaust.

Close up of the color:

I'll try to get more shots of it but it's really hard to capture.
