Default Got to Touch the GTR Today

They had this horrible red lighting on the car combined with the people and darkness of the room I didn't bother trying to actually get great pictures but it was fun to get to sit in it. Something most of the people who have seen it haven't been able to do, and crawl under and around.

Yeah it was really strange. The paint on this car was nothing like photos. It almost looks like brushed metal. Also the looks like a brute, yet when you stand behind it, I didn't think it was really as big as it looks in photos. The driver seat feels like you really are sitting in the cockpit of something fierce, the bolsters are stiff yet comfortable and has a wonderful way of holding you in. I grabbed the wheel once and started to flip the paddle like I was switching gears.

One of the front ducts in the bumper leads to either some oil cooler or intercooler, I had my arm half way up into the duct trying to feel around in there. The vents in the hood are also functional. Brakes were massive on there too. I really wasn't impressed with the looks from photos of the car, but now that I have sat in one, I am in love.
The front bumper is growing on me, but I can see someone like Amuse making a really sick one for it.
My only complaint about the interior is the switches and knobs on the ac controls, other than that the interior seemed pretty nice.

Nice! Were you able to see the trick gauge system in action?

Here is a quick video of the Mine's GTR. They plan on having a full line of products available for the release here in the states.
