Default 07 CTS-V

CTS-V - moddified and rather loud

He was revving his engine a few cars behind me at a red light. I let him get next to me on monument drive and he revved a lot, but he didn't really push it. We finally turn right onto 29 and get side by side again. This time he takes off. Low range he didn't seem to have much power. Mid range he pulled and high range I pulled. It always ended up being rather even. Had many runs and followed him out into Clifton to hit the twisties. Turned left onto Clifton road and chased him a few miles out of town and always the same results...he would pull in the middle of my RPMs and I'd catch right back up. A lot of fun, but those things can't handle worth crap or he was a horrible driver. I don't think we ever hit over 100.

07 skyline is new to me too!!! And if it was a skyline then they are pretty slow if they can only keep up with a SCed S2000 considering they have something around 500 HP. Oh well good runs

Yes... 07 skyline 350GT

I've come across 2 in this local area. If they don't exist I'm kindda shocked that people would just drive around and say its something its not, but guess its possible. One guy supposedly paid A LOT (six figures) to get his over here quickly.

Quoted from nissan's website

"Nissan GT-R is a go for U.S.
The dream of every red-blooded automotive enthusiast is coming true. On April 12, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. President and CEO Carlos Ghosn gave the wake up call; the Nissan GT-R is go. The production version will make its world debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. It will go on sale in Japan in Fall 2007. U.S. and Canada will follow in Spring 2008"

It won't be here till spring unless your in japan. Here is the site

If you have money....you can get one. If you'd like I can take pictures of it. One of them is parked between our local honda and nissan dealerships often. Gets A LOT of attention.

Thanks. What I'm going to do is remove the claim that the car exists until others see it as well. Once it is commonly known that it does in fact exist, I will repost the sighting.
